• He went to his first pumpkin patch.
• He loves getting to spend time with his grandparents, aunts and uncles. 
• He enjoys looking at himself in the mirror.

Just last weekend Jason, Blake and I went to the pumpkin patch out at E.Z. Orchards. This of course was Blake's first experience out at a pumpkin patch, and he seemed to enjoy himself. We went to the petting zoo, went on a hay ride and got a pumpkin. I'm excited to watch him walking around next year, but was impressed with how well he did this year.

We finally got a picture of the four generations of Bernard boys. Hoping that Blake will get some of that Bernard height too. :)

Happy Halloween!
