I’m not certain it’s the Beatles, but it does serve as a quick teaser to the photos we’ll be posting soon about our trip to Iowa.

Pitiful. I haven’t even posted the pictures from our apple picking trip to Pennings Orchard a couple of weekends ago and the apples are already gone. Yes, I like apples. And not just of the computer variety.

We had a great time. Colin was much more helpful this year than last year, even picking a couple of apples himself and hauling the apples he picked in his new (John Deere!) tractor.

There was lots of other stuff to do there, too. We were especially intrigued by the wooden train we had seen on the website since—as you know—Colin is very into trains. And he loved it. I like this picture a lot since he looks a little like the calm in the middle of a big storm of people. We somewhat randomly decided to do the pony-ride thing. And I don’t know that it was Colin’s favorite part of the trip, but he was a good sport.

We did leave with a very happy Colin, though!

And how did you spend your weekend?

I’m going to level with you. I’m worried. A friend from work showed me this video of young Hannah at age two if we don’t sell our condo and have to end up renting it out…

Colin is now a full-fledged member of the Avatar-enabled community. Not that he’ll need this before it needs to be updated, but there is (suddenly) a requirement to have an Icon in this household…

Also, if you’re curious about how well the great folks over at Iconize Me did (we’ve talked about them before), you can see the original picture of Colin we uploaded for them to use here.

Of course the other big issue is how we’ll get a workable icon from the ultrasound pictures of Hannah (that presumably Deb will be posting shortly)…
