I remember like it was yesterday taking our October 2015 Me & Mine photos because they were quite special for us...This time last year, we used our monthly Me & Mine photos to announce that we were expecting a surprise third baby.
We had decided to delay the announcement until I was 6 months along, and as it fell during the month of October...we chose to use Pumpkins for a Halloween themed announcement!
One year on, and it's funny to look back on those photos now...knowing exactly who that question mark on the fifth pumpkin was representing...our little Sailor!
And so, when deciding where to take our October Me & Mine photos for this year...I decided that, of course, we would have to find some pumpkins again!!
Luckily we managed to find a lovely local pumpkin patch here in Devon, and we had a fantastic day out choosing our five pumpkins...one for each member of our family of five!
Looking back on last years photo feels a little odd, as I really can't even remember what it felt like to be a family of four (...well, I was pregnant again 6 weeks after Noah was born!)...
Five is a number I didn't really think our family would be...especially not so soon, I mean....we only had our first child 3 and a half years ago!!!, but it's definitely the number that feels like a perfect fit for us.
