Into Winter

We've spent time with friends and family, and are geared up for the holiday season!

Joy!

Halloween!

Apple Orchard

Sylvia and I visited Plymouth Orchards on Monday to pick out a pumpkin and check out other fun things...including photo opportunities and donuts. Sylvia liked seeing the goats, of course, and was more interested in the rocks and gravel in the muddy driveway than the pumpkins. Ah, the mind of the toddler!

Petting Zoo Redux

Visited the petting farm with friends a few weeks back...just getting around to posting pics! A good time was had.

At the Table

This Can't Be Comfortable...

Bones and Boats

Syl made a new friend (albeit a silent one) at the Hoxeyville Music Festival a couple of weeks ago. We had a nice kayak ride at Long Lake last night.

Hangin' with Soleil

We got to chill with Soleil and parents Jess & Steph last week during their visit from Cali. The kids had fun, and so did the big people!

Summer Shots

Togs

New duds! A yellow butterfly ensemble from Aunt Susie and a pink flower outfit from Minga. Thanks!

and Swingin' Again

In what Sylvia refers to as the "hameek" out at Long Lake. Maximum chill!

Messy Milestone

Here's Syl helping with the dishes on our camping trip with Sheryl & Brian last month. Not the milestone I'm thinking of though...the real deal is that Sylvia has made "peepoo" in the big girl potty three times! We're on our way with potty training.

June!

We've been busy with fun, including Sylvia's first camping trip.

Walkin' and Talkin'

There's a lot of staggery yet mostly stable walking going on in our house these days, and a lot of narration too. Sylvia is loving using verbal language, and every so often she'll remember something she's seen or done and comment on it. Lately her favorite activity to recall is "Bobbie Mike house;" we paid a visit to Bobbie and Mike about a month ago, and we're still talking about it! Pictured are Syl and Dan walking with Bobbie.

Papa, Papa, Baby

Sylvia's cousin Sofi-Rose and her two papas!

Father's Day Brunch

We hosted brunch for Dan's parents, brother and family, sister-in-law's brother and family and her parents. A lovely affair.
