Rain Rain Go Away

Like most of you, we've had a lot of rain here.

Even got the fungus to prove it.

Cameron photographed those shrooms. Nice job, huh?!?!

I had to preoccupy this one while he did so.

Nose pressed to the glass-she can't be without her daddy!

Looks

These first two aren't so bad....but this next one.

All I see is Uncle Roger. What do you think, family?

Maybe it is the hair?!?! I don't know...

I am refraining from posting a real photo of Uncle Roger because I think it is more fun going from memory...!!

Sunday Dress Up (from 9/19)

We could only get two shots....then we lost him.

Sundays make for a long day...

Roll Over! LJW

Habits

My boy, we've found, loves to touch his hair/head. (My house is so dark sometimes, it can be difficult to get a good photo-these are proof!)

Emmy actually has a little habit too when she is drinking from her sippy cup. Her left hand always reaches up and grabs her hair. Its not so much a twirl as it is a rub between her thumb and forefinger. I'll have to capture that so you all can see it, it started when she was about 18 months...

Couldn't help but post these, isn't she cute?

She's so Cute...Quack.

U Pick

Headed out to the Apple Orchard yesterday.

Emmy and Daddy got to sit on a tractor. You know up here in the city where we live, we don't see many a tractor! ;)

We rode the train...once with Daddy,

Once with Mommy.

We tried to feed the goats, however, they were so disinterested, these are the best photos we have of that portion of the place. Yes, it does say, "kids for sale... ."

Cameron and Emmy went on a tractor ride that took people out to the pumpkin patch.

Liam was there too...enjoying some sleep. He woke up and looked around every time we stopped rolling him on the gravel paths!

Had us some lunch...we used to think they had really good BBQ pork sandwiches, UNTIL we tried this authentic Texas BBQ place in our own town. Yeah, sorry Emma Krumbees, not even close! That's why I had a brat instead :)

Emmy had an apple on the way home. See that sucker?!?! It's as big as her head! She didn't finish it off, but I have to say for the size of it she did pretty well....I can't blame her for not wanting to stop, ever had a Honeycrisp? You just can't stop eating them. SO. GOOD.

Upon our arrival home, I opened Emmy's door and saw this:

Yeah, she wrote on her FACE with crayon. Something about that just sounds wrong. And the car seat didn't fair too well either.

Ah...life with a toddler.

Nine/Ten Weeks, LJW

He's really coming into his own, huh?

If you read my letter to the kid, you would have known that I thought he weighed 16.5 lbs.

HA! Was I off...he ended up being about 12.5, which is in the 90th percentile. So at least I wasn't just imagining he's heavy. :)

Favorites

One of my favorite outfits to date. And he pretty much was grown out of it by the time I got him in it. These shots were taken at the end of August...

I think he likes it too! :)

Where Else...the Zoo!

Aren't they cute? Watching the otters.

Love swans. I couldn't get over how large this one was. It looks so small in this photo, but I kid you not....HUGE.

Finally a shot with me and both kids. Still sounds kind of strange to say "both kids." I don't know, I still don't feel old enough at times to be at this point in my life....

Finally got a photo of Liam actually AT the zoo. Real nice ones too since the first one didn't turn out and in the next one the lighting is all weird because of where I was sitting down by the dolphin tanks.

Always next time, right? ;)
