Our Tomachoff Farms Pumpkin Patch Fun

We have a yearly tradition to go to the Tomachoff Farms pumpkin patch and have a blast each year!  This year we got to get in free for posting on our blog, and considering we are cutting out all "extras", I was very excited about that!  There are a lot of fun things to do there and the kids love it every year.  My only complaint is that it's not very wheelchair accessible.  It is flat, which is nice, but it is dirt and bumpy grass.  If you had your freewheel on your chair (we can't get ours to attach to Madi's chair unfortunately), I think you would be fine, but without it, it's not idea.  Anyhow, here are some photos of our fun...

 

This is David's younger brother Mark, his wife Kim, and their two sons Nathan and Caleb.  We go with them every year :)

 

(I think Madi kissed the pony 200 times.  That girls needs to get in a therapeutic riding program!)

  We look forward to going again next year!

And in other news.... Ramya has a sedated MRI tomorrow morning bright and early.  She needed an MRI of her brain to make sure she doesn't have any cysts/growth prompting her early puberty.  I knew that Dr. Moss, our neurosurgeon, was wanting an MRI of her head and back soon, to check for tethering as well as shunt placement, so I had the two MRIs coordinated so that she would only have to be sedated once.  Anyhow, please pray that they will let me be with her when she falls asleep and when she wakes up and please pray that she does well with everything.  Thanks so much!

A few new pictures to share

Life is good!

Watching Conner play soccer and cheering him on

Go, Conner, Go!

And he's done.....

Conner has a good cheer section

Trying to coax him in to playing (didn't go over well)

At the pumpkin patch

Grammy and Papa came with us

When you tickled his nose, he made the funniest face.  This entertained us (ok, maybe me) for a loooong time

 I love cheesy cute smiles

Madi LOVED playing in the corn and was covered with corn dust by the time we left

 Madi loves her papa very much!

Of course she loves her grammy too ;)

Note to self:  When you have two adorable kids, and one is in a wheelchair dressed like tinkerbell, expect that EVERYONE is going to come up and talk to you and plan accordingly

Taking a ride on mom and admiring her new pumpkin

Madi let me put her hair up and actually kept it up for over an hour... our new record!

Pumpkin carving.... Madi chose a cat

We love family traditions (and Conner's eyes in this picture ;))

 How do you keep a baby entertained while you fill out paperwork, wait for testing, and wait to see her neurosurgeon?  Floss!

And maybe a funny mirror or two....

And who could forget the pretend corn?
