Celebrating Fall in New England



















We enjoyed a beautiful Sunday morning at one of our many local apple orchards before Maddy & Poppy left to go back to Vermont. Grace enjoyed walking through the rows of apple trees, riding on Poppy's shoulders, and helping Maddy pick Cortland apples. It was a great way to end such a fun-filled weekend. After apple picking we sadly watched Maddy & Poppy drive away from the orchard to head back to Middlebury. Grace continued to search for Maddy & Poppy and kept waving and saying, "bye-bye" long after their car drove away.

Dear Grace,

We had a perfect long weekend with you and Mommy and Daddy. We too were sad to leave but not forlorn because you always show us so many of the simple delights of life the we sometimes begin to take for granted.....like walking on the rippled sand at the beach, picking an apple from a tree bursting with red jewels, playing with a beach ball at a Children's Museum, finding perfect leaves, opening a new book for the first time, seeing ladybugs everywhere!, and pointing and naming objects that Poppy and I don't even think about anymore. All of that just took our breath away again and again. Thank you for all of those moments.
We Love You,
Bye-bye to you too, Our One and Only Grace!
Your Maddy & Poppy

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
