The Barnhill Bunch: Fall is finally here!

A lot is going on with us Barnhills. I won't try to explain everything that happened only highlight and add a few pics to make it more interesting :)

1.) WE ARE MOVING BACK TO ARKANSAS!!!
We knew we didn't want to be in Houston for a long time and Jamie is able to work from home as long as he has internet, an airport and phone. We decided on Fayetteville because we both went to college there and LOVE the town. We have always known we wanted our kids to go to school there and we both grew up going to elementary, junior high and high school in the same town and wanted the same for our kids. We put our house on the market and 4 days later an offer came in we couldn't refuse. It was totally the Lord and we are BEYOND excited about this new adventure.

Our first home! I LOVE this house.

2.) Pumpkin Patch: Last year during prime Fall season I was about 6 months pregnant and REALLY wanted to go to the pumpkin patch here in Spring. It's pretty awesome. They have hay rides, blowup games and TONS of AWESOME pumpkins. Well, I finally persuaded Jamie to take me. We show up looking like creepers because we're the ONLY ones without kids. So, this year I was bound and determined to go because we now have Drake as an excuse to go! We had SO much fun! And he loved it too.

He loved standing up in his wagon.

Surrounded by Pumpkins

Me and my handsome!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these two!

3.) Drake is 9 Months

As of October 17th, Drake turned 9 Months. I know I say this every month, but I can't believe he is THAT old. I took him to see Dr. Pope for his check up. He was measuring 17lbs 4oz, and 27 inches long. His weight is still in the 15%, height 20% and head finally moved up to 40%. He had his first flu shot (he has to go back for a second) and he didn't react to well to it. He was very upset the rest of the day. I don't know if it just hurt or continuously stung, but he was cranky. Since seeing Dr. Pope, I've tried these new things: Whole milk, homemade mac and cheese (with real cheese and whole milk...not powder), cheese, homemade apple sauce, rice and eggs. He will NOT drink the milk. He starts to eat the mac and cheese but by the third bite he's done. Likes block sharp cheddar. Liked the apple sauce. He ate the rice, but I mixed it in with peas and corn. Did NOT like eggs. I hope he can start liking more "table food" instead of just mush, so I'm going to try to be persistent with it. Not sure if it's a texture thing, smell or he simply doesn't like how it tastes?! Also, a huge accomplishment, besides getting Drake's shot record for our new pediatrician and getting everything closed out here in Houston, is I finally got Drake's birth certificate!! I guess he's SUPER official now :).
