So, September and October have flown by before our eyes. House projects continue - painting and the new back railings are now complete and the front fence is in-progress. The new driveway apron/curb and sidewalk are also slated for overhaul in the next few weeks. Whew!
M continues to get taller, bigger and talk to us more and more. Here are some pics of our last few weeks:

Climbing the "fish" structure at one of her favorite playgrounds - all by herself!
At a fall festival in Roxborough. The moon bounce was a "no go", but M really wanted "pictures of me with the big pumpkins!"
M was very proud of her drawing of a bear. (In fact, she apparently ROAR-ed so much at school that day that our teachers sent us an email...they said it was "cute", but it must've been a LOT of roaring!)
We made our first entrance into the private school birthday party circuit...RI-DIC-U-LOUS! This was one of the (three!) ponies there for rides.
We have painted at least 10 pumpkins so far this season...a big favorite!
After M was so brave getting her vaccination, she got to pick out "one toy." Well played, M...well played.
Here's the infamous forehead bandaid fashion statement. She rocked this look for nearly three days and when we were (finally!) able to pull off the bandaid, part of her eyebrows came with it. :-)

Pumpkin fun at Merrymeade Farm - first time!
All that fun makes M tired!
With lots of fall love,
K, J, M, T & T
