Pumpkins and more pumpkins!

Sorry - this is a loaded blog post because I have neglected pretty much the entire month of October! Hopefully we can get Julia to wear her halloween costume - we went with something simple - a bunny, in hopes she can't tear off the tail. We've had issues with keeping costumes on - tinkerbell and ballerina to name a few.


Also - Our house! - No inside photos yet - sorry Casey :(

















Julia is so proud of the jack-o-lantern she carved. . .















Daddy's little girl. . .

















Happy Birthday Dad on Oct 17th!

















Pumpkin Patch trip to Pooley's Farm near
Bennington. Fun trip! Would have been better if someone wouldn't have fallen on a pumpkin stem while picking the very best one! See the last photo of this post for scars to prove it :(






























Cheep cheep!































These pics are from our playgroup trip to Vala's - fun time! What a place - I think Julia will be able to appreciate it more next year but it was fun, even at her age!
































My new playgroup friends! Haley, JR and Mason!













Julia's new favorite snack - apples! cut or whole!

Go Big Red!

Julia is almost 16 months now! Her new words tonight were "doctor" and "magazine"! She is doing great with her words - the people at daycare this week were very impressed with her progress in just a week's time. She's also starting to sing a few words of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" with us - so fun. Here's some photos from last weekend - the VA Tech game tailgate with the Ringenbergs and some fun times with Aunt Katie!

Mal and Jules are ready to cheer on the Big Red!












Julia made quite an attempt at saying "Garrett", but she's got Ma-ah-ee (Mallory) down pat!


















Bubbles with Aunt Katie!












If we only we got a picture while Kyle and I tried to pry her fingers off the sucker as we got to the car to leave El Bees! Someone was not happy!












Video of Mallory and Julia dancing to the Wiggles songs. Mallory is a pro - know the words and actions - Julia on the other hand, is perfecting her one dance move - we're not sure what to call it!
