Christopher's Birthday on Johnsons' Farm

Yesterday was Christopher's birthday!  We celebrated by picking apples at Johnson's Farm in Bedford.  We went there last year when I was 23 weeks pregnant and had just found out that we were having a boy. 

Eliot was mesmerized by the Johnny Appleseed statue.  Chris had a hard time getting him to look at the camera for a photo.

Eliot almost lost a finger to this goat.  When we walked up to their pin, the goats jumped up on the fence and Eliot lunged forward to touch them.  Could have been bad!  I love goats the best, I think.

We picked up Elizabeth for dinner followed by coffee for dessert.  In the evening, we felt really behind the times as we were amazed by our upgrade to HD and the capabilities of a DVR--part of his birthday present.  Today the rest of his present will be coming in the mail:  a wifi-ready Bluray/DVD player and Star Wars.  We've been using my PS 2 from high school as our DVD player all this time and now we can get it all into one device instead of streaming through the Wii too.  I feel like this is a lame birthday present, but Chris has been asking to clean up our "media" area for a while get with the times.

I'm super excited that our new media stand will be arriving in a couple of weeks.  We had been using this stand from Target that Chris had passed down to him in college.  My parents gave us money last Christmas to go toward a media stand, but we kept pushing it off.  We'll get that area cleaned up soon enough!
