Yesterday in the car, Essie and Daddy were having a conversation about heaven and about seeing our loved ones there someday (Grandma's recent passing has sparked a lot of these conversations lately). So Daddy was explaining that if you have Jesus in your heart, you'll go to heaven someday and be with Him. Essie was processing all of this information and kept asking more and more questions, and the end of the conversation went something like this:
Daddy: If you ask Jesus to come into your heart, He'll come and live inside of you.
Essie: Beside me?
Daddy: Well, He comes into your heart and lives with you.
Essie: Jesus comes and lives inside me?
Daddy: Yes. All you have to do is say, "Jesus, please come into my heart."
Essie: Jesus, come into my heart.
She's not yet three. Almost.
Precious.
Like last year, we decided to combine the "party" on one day in between the two birthdays (this was actually Abby's request), but on each of their birthdays, we're doing a special thing to celebrate the actual day. 
So we decided to make our annual pumpkin patch trip today.
The wheelbarrow is getting pretty full!
It was a beautiful day, but rather hot -- in the 90s.
Caleb, don't eat the dead leaves!!
Abby had to get one more shot in the "girl" pumpkin.
Waiting for their [$7!!!] pony ride.
She was excited about it...
...until she actually got on the thing. :)
Abby LOVED it!!
Essie -- not so much.
But they didn't seem to notice she was crooked (even though we kept trying to let them know), so off she promptly came (and we were partially refunded for her "ride").
They were nice enough to give Caleb a free sit.
These are called "Cinderella pumpkins." Of course, Abby wanted to get one. ;)
