We've been going to Apple Hill every fall for the last few years. I LOVE it up there. We get to drive up into the hills a little and see the apple orchards and vineyards and pumpkin patches and Christmas tree farms - such a nice drive. We definitely make the drive for all the delicious apple goodies though. Since I'm on a restricted diet we didn't go crazy like past years and bring home caramel apples, pies, and fudge. I did have an amazing piece of dutch apple crunch pie with ice cream though and boy was it good!
Hubby enjoyed his caramel pecan apple pie too! I love capturing the crazy face :) Love you hubby!
October is also hubby's birthday and he requested an apple cobbler. I hadn't made one before but I think it turned out pretty good. There are a few things I could do next time to make it better (like more crumb topping!) but the apple cinnamon part was pretty tasty. I had a few left over apples too so I made some chunky apple muffins which also came out pretty good. It has been nice to bake again even though I'm not allowed to indulge too much in my own creations. Only a few more weeks (at most!) and then I'll be able to splurge on holiday goodies. :)
We kept it low key for our second wedding anniversary. Went out to dinner and then played games and watched a movie at home. Because the tradition is to give cotton for the second anniversary hubby got me a bag of cotton candy. So cute :) Hubby and I have been through so much together and the last two years have been awesome. I can't believe how much has happened in just the last year! Even though we have been busy busy busy I still feel like hubby and I are doing a good job communicating and telling each other what the other needs. I have such a great husband.
On the baby front... she is still head down (yay!!!) and doing well. Only 10 days until my due date. My midwife says that they generally don't let pregnant women with gestational diabetes go too far past their due date but that my blood pressure and weight gain have been good so she doesn't foresee any problems. Let's see if I make it to my 39 week appointment on Tuesday :)
