We have had a nice month or so. Halle had her first birthday (almost a month ago) and seriously made a haul. So many presents! Thanks everyone for coming! Our camera died before cake, but we have copies from family. She has been a happy girl and working on walking more and more each day. I realized she was walking more at Lonny's parents house and at my sister's home and noticed that she just slips too much on our wood floors, and chooses to crawl instead. She's getting there though. She's just super funny and we're loving having a one-year old!




I was certain Halle would be grossed out by the pumpkin guts, but she had no problem reaching in, pulling stuff out, wiping her hands off on her belly, and eating slimy pumpkin seeds. I really am not kidding when I say she will eat ANYTHING!



Can't get enough of this girl



She was our little pumpkin this year but absolutely would not keep her "stem hat" on. Silly girl- she knows her hair is too cute to cover it up!

Happy Fall! I love the season so much. I've realized I really enjoy raking leaves on a nice crisp fall afternoon. I've already raked a bunch, but I'm sure I'll get more chances; hopefully the weather will stay nice long enough to get the yard cleaned up again, or else I might change my mind about enjoying raking leaves. What can I say, I'm a fair-weather fan.
