| Welcome to Wichita! Side note ... the ICT airport is so not huge. As in, once you cross through security, I hope you're not hungry, because there is one pitiful snack stand and that's it. You do NOT want to get stuck here - ask me how I know! However, that little girl in the pink coat that runs to greet you makes up for all that. |
 |
| This is when Kate started talking to Mimi. She did not stop until we had to drop Mimi off here a week later. |
 |
| Pops, let me show you how to download a few apps. |
 |
| I guess it's not all work when Pops is here! |
 |
| I remember doing this as a little girl - mom, is there a picture? |
 |
| Pops lets Will and Kate wake him up whenever they wake up ... Pops is a brave, brave man. |
 |
| It is such a blessing to watch my parents love my children. |
 |
| These would be the donuts. D-licious. |
 | |
| We went to a new pumpkin patch this year. A beautiful, working farm, pumpkin patch. I liked it so much, that if we ever move away from Kansas, I would probably still want to come back to this patch every fall. AND, let the pumpkin patch pictures commence. |
 |
| First up, mining for "stones and bones". Will was in his element and Mimi brought back her 3rd grade teacher self before we knew what happened. |
 |
| Kate was in an element too ... like look out, or you'll get wet! |
 |
| He could have done this all day long. |
 |
| These are my favorite moments to capture. |
 |
| It took a little convincing, but once we got her down the first slide, there was no looking back! |
 |
| The very best and our very favorite, Pops and Mimi. |
 |
| Another one of those moments ... and proof of their love just in case I need it during the teenage years! |
 |
| The ginormous bouncing pillow - who comes up with this stuff? |
 |
| Kate trying really hard to get her brave on. |
 |
| Punkin' Chunkin' ... if you click on the picture to enlarge it, you can see Will's pumpkin flying through the air just over the peak of the barn roof. |
 |
| I was walking with my mama when I took this one and I told her "I can't help myself" - it's true. |
 |
| Cutest little cutie playing hide and seek with Pops |
 |
| On top of the world! |
 |
| Picture perfect pumpkin patch"iness" |
 |
| I say to John all the time, "I just love our family." The LORD has been so good to us. |
 |
| It would not be a pumpkin patch visit if you came home without hay in your shoes. |
 |
| I'm pretty sure he's not gonna grow up. |
 |
| This slide actually went through the side of a "mountain" ... Kate wasn't going to ride without Will! |
 |
| I'm tellin' ya ... best patch ever! |
 |
| Oh dear. |
 |
| Well, it looks like Pops likes these moments too ... or maybe Mimi told him to take it. |
 |
| Is there any better way to travel in a pumpkin patch than flying through the air? |
 |
| On the hayride out to pick our pumpkins |
 |
| Silly Pops, I'm a girl ... there's no way I would pick the first pumpkin I pick up, or the second, or the third ... |
 |
| Love these two! |
 |
| Pops had to go back to work on Monday, but Mimi spent the rest of the week with us. Please come back soon - we miss you already!!! |
