Helen, GA

We enjoyed a wkd to ourselves (eating out, dancing and shopping) while my inlaws kept L. This is the anniversary of when Tom and I met 6 years ago. We took a trip to Helen, GA (just north of us) to enjoy the beautiful weather and leaves.

Professional Pictures

I took L for some professional pictures today in the beautiful gown that my sister in law Tammy let me borrow. L. was not very happy having to get pictures made. (hence no smiles in these snap shots i took) Hopefully next year will be better. I was pleased with the pictures though and plan to use them for Christmas cards.

Kitty Cat

We celebrated Halloween by going to my friend's neighborhood party. L seemed to enjoy the festivities there, especially getting suckers!

Second Birthday

We enjoyed a visit from Mom this weekend. We had L's birthday party at a park today at 10am...44 degrees. We enjoyed having a few friends and family there. L really seemed to enjoy the party and playing at the park.

More Birthday

Even More Birthday Pictures

Pumpkins Everywhere

We stopped at another pumpkin patch to take some pictures in this beautiful weather.

Our Pumpkin

We decided to carve our pumpkin this year knowing L would enjoy it. Tom was meticulous (as an engineer) in carving his side of the pumpkin with the AU. I didn't take so much time to carve my side with the cat face (since L likes cats). I'd forgotten though how time consuming and difficult it can be to carve a pumpkin.

October Fun

It seems there are many festivals to attend in October. We enjoyed yet another one this weekend where there were hayrides, pumpkins, blacksmith demo, etc. They had several antique tractors there for viewing. (this park was once a farm).

First haircut

L did pretty well for this first cut. I was expecting much worse but she was distracted by a few things. She got everything shaped up which meant cutting off her longer hair/curls in the back. She was happy to get the necklace out of the treasure chest and get a sucker too.

Pumpkin Patch

We enjoyed a beautiful day at the pumpkin patch. This was L's first ride on a horse and she loved it - giggling as she bumped along.

Visitors

I watched my friends 15 mo old son Friday while she had a garage sale. It was fun to watch L and him interact. L seems to think when he's coming towards her that he's chasing her so she runs away smiling and squealing. They're used to each other as we get together once a week. We'll watch him again tomorrow.

Dress Up and Girls Nite Out

I found some dress up clothes at a recent consignment sale for L. I enjoyed a fun girls nite out with friends I knew from my single days. All are married now with children.
