A Patch o' Pumpkins

Last weekend we made our yearly pilgrimage to do something fall-ish.  We returned to Old Baker Farm this year because (though we have nary a child) we have thoroughly perused the possibilities in our area, and found this one to be the champion.  This is the pumpkin/tractor/caramel apple/hay/corn maze/civil war re-enactment/horseshoe-making/petting zoo/sunflower seeker's paradise.  And they have a craft fair.  Mmmm hmmmm.  We went with JP, Jamie, Karlie, Noah (Jamie's brother) and kinda at the last minute, my parents and little brother Aaron, as well as my older brother Andrew and his wife Kiersten came down for the weekend!  The more the merrier...

Karlie (ever the star of the show):

It's Here!

Meet my new super-cool thing.  That I don't know how to use.  Mr. Nikon D5000.  Ooohhhh yeah.  I'll give him a proper name after we've gotten to know one another better.  I've only made it seven pages into my owner's manual, but the automatic settings are my new best friends for now!
I found a couple willing(ish) models to try things out:
The Strong and Noble Darcy McDarcepants

Karlie: my honorary niece. 

I'm really looking forward to getting to know this new member of our family (the camera...not Karlie).  Now I have no excuse not to blog in earnest!  Lucky you.
