Fall Fun!

Thing have been pretty busy around here this fall!  Drew turned 1 with a birthday party to match.  The balloons are still hanging around and Drew thinks he discovers them for the first time every morning.  Here are some photos of his birthday party.

Gramma and Papa came for a visit for the party.  Gramma made Drew his first taste of Matzoh Ball Soup!

We had some family photos taken by Charity Owen for Drew's first birthday too.  This chunky monkey got a lot of mileage out of birthday cake this year!!  

Drew got his first taste of Spartan Spirit this fall when the Schwedler family met at the Homecoming tailgate.  We were only missing Jay and JES.  The weather was perfect and Drew got to spend the game with Gramma at the international center while the rest of us cheered the Spartans to a sunny 75 degree victory.  

The Port Austin Polega family visited us for the weekend in October.  Thanks to their help we now have two new trees in our back yard and one in the front.  As a reward, we took Kris and TJ to the Pumpkin farm to celebrate.  Macy got to tackle the big pumpkin jump and both kids got some rather amazing balloon animals.

We milked the nice weather for all it was worth this year by spending some time at the park.  

Finally - we were blessed with some really nice Trick or Treating weather this year.  Drew made his Pleasant Prairie Trick or Treat debut as a blue robot.  

The Eppler family is having so much fun now that Drew is mobile and is certainly showing his own little personality.
