Fall Fun and Halloween 2009

We’ve been having lots of fun this fall. Here are lots pictures to prove it!

Natalie and I had a nice morning at Terhune’s listening to stories about pumpkins and picking our own at their “Read and Pick” Program:
Which one should I pick?

Funny faces

Natalie had a great time painting pumpkins with Aunt Kary:

July 4, 2009

For a kid who gets nervous if an adult male gets within 10 feet of her, Natalie is surprisingly enthralled with the big, loud, colorful explosions that happen in the sky every July. She’s always loved fireworks, even as a baby.

Natalie loves fireworks!
