Sammy's 2nd birthday & other October events

My little man is TWO!  I seriously can't believe how quickly these things happen.  We celebrated with lots of friends and loved ones at a nearby playground.  Luckily the weather cooperated, though a bit chilly, so we were still able overload all the little ones on sugar.  Thanks to Aunt Eli, we have some photos of the event, since my camera battery was out (sigh).  There should be more pix to come from one of Sammy's friends' moms.  Stay tuned, and I'll post them on the soon-side.

Earlier this month, the Fowlkes clan had our annual outing to the Washington Farms pumpkin patch.  This is the most fun farm ever, complete with corn troughs, cow tractor trains, swings, giant rocking chairs, pig races, FOOD, funky slides, etc.  Needless to say, the kids napped WELL on the way home.  Aunt Eli put together an awesome slide show from the day.

Just a random pic of baby John.
