Fall or Winter?

With the weather we're experiencing I'm not quite sure if it's fall or winter outside! We made our first snowman of the season today! The weather was plus 2 and just gorgeous for snowman making - a snowball fight happened after:) Madison enjoyed her first time out in the snow, although when she put her face right into it she wasn't sure what to think.
So harvest has begun - I say begun as we have not yet finished. Right now we're waiting, hoping for warm weather again so maybe we can start up again. We celebrated our 4 year anniversary this october and in all the four years this harvest has definitely been the most stressful. I'm not sure how farmers do it, they must have amazing optimism and strength. As I'm sure almost anyone would say about me I'm not an optimistic person and seeing the snow come this fall was quite depressing.
But onto happier matters Madison and Zander both continue to grow and change everyday. Zander had a tooth in the front missing, it just never came in and we were told he probably would never get one there and for about 2 weeks he was just miserable to live with and all of a sudden I noticed that his tooth was coming in! I guess I really could keep blaming his tempers on teething:)
Madison is crawling everywhere and now pulling herself up to everything and just yesterday she started walking around things. She loves to say dada and is getting better at saying mama, although she still usually only says it when she's really mad! She has 7 teeth now and wants to eat everything we do. I can't believe that in about a month she will be turning 1, time goes by so fast. One of the pictures above is of Madison smiling her classic Madison smile, nose scrunched and eyes almost closed, this is when she is truly happy, I like to think of it as pure, innocent happiness, where nothing else matters.
