On Friday, we took the boys to pick out pumpkins and then we went for a walk at a near-by forest preserve.  This kid showed up again..

Colton decided that he was not interested in walking.  Instead, he preferred to be carried....all 30+ pounds of him.

Matt was up for the challenge (at least for a little while)

Once Colton's free ride was over, he dug his heels into the ground...literally.  Then something magical happened.  Brennan said " I will go get him."  He ran up to Colton and grabbed his hand.  Colton was grinning ear to ear.  

Then Braxton joined them.  I turned into mush in one instant.  

The three of them held hands all the way to the car.  

It was a wonderful day.
