fall in our county

Her cute Halloween outfit, "So cute it's scary." (Thanks grandma!) Notice the one leg in the air. She kicks to show excitement, and she was excited then.


We went out to take pictures of the leaves. They had just really gotten colorful, and the next day we had heavy winds which threatened to take all the leaves down, so we took pictures that day. You can see from her little red nose it was not warm outside, but she just didn't care.


We took her to a story telling evening in the park behind our house. She's all suited up to keep her warm. She stayed warm. I did not. We also lost one of her mittens. I suppose this should have been no surprise to me, but I tried so hard to keep track of them...

And what would fall in farm country be without a picture of a baby and some pumpkins? We drove out to a farm that sold pumpkins, and considered taking a tractor out to the pumpkin fields, but then decided that it would be just as good to take the picture next to the previously picked pumpkins. We can take her on a tractor ride next year, when she'll appreciate it more, and we'll enjoy it more too. (This picture is a giant step up from the one I considered, using the pumpkins from the grocery store as a back drop - thanks honey for getting us to the farm.)
