Fall Fun

Love this dress that Grandma and Pada got in Ecuador.  Won't be too many more days to wear this warm-weather outfit!

Wow - I'm a little behind on documenting all the fun stuff we've been doing in the past couple months.  Thanks to my sister-in-law, I discovered a website that prints out blogs!!  I had 4 years compiled into one book that is really fun to read (for us, anyway!! Probably not so much for anybody else...).  So, trying to keep track of the little moments we'd like to remember....

Our little friend has been spending Tuesdays with us while her big sister undergoes chemotherapy.  Please keep Anna and her family in your prayers.

We tagged along with Daddy, who had a conference in Cleveland, so we could visit our good buddies there!!

Victor and his Godmother.  Cleveland has this really great metropark.

Loops and I spent a morning serving apple dumplings at our local Johnny Appleseed festival.  It was a fundraiser for our local Ballet company.  The festival requires all workers to wear costumes true to the time period when good 'ol Johnny lived.  All the crafts are made from natural materials, too.  There are cannons, drum and fife cores, bagpipes.  Lots of fun, but also lots of people.  Not terribly wheelchair-friendly. 

Fairies made of mulch and garden-finds

A delightful performance of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by the Youth Company.  We were all spectators at this one after ballet class, but many friends were in the show.  The costumes were so beautifully done.

Last week, we had a field trip to a Pickle Factory.  The highlight was the sampling at the end.  Don't let the facial expression in the photo above deceive you.  This little dude was in pickle heaven.  He loves them and probably ate an entire jar from the sampling station.
