Fall Update...in December

Well, my blog has definitely gotten off to a slow start. I was on the fence for a while about the name of the blog and so didn't post as often as I wanted. Now that I've decided on my new name, I want to catch up with the posts that I wanted to make. I seems a little silly to write an update on our Fall, but I'm going to go for it. T had a lot of firsts this Fall, and M is so fascinating now that she is up, running around and talking (non-stop).

So, a summary of our Fall in pictures:

Visiting Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse for Apple Day:

Playing at the beach, saying hi to a seal. Obviously, M is a little apprehensive about being so close:

Kindergym for rainy days:

This is what happens when you're stuck inside on a rainy day and leave Mom's sight for two minutes:

Smiley, happy baby:

A family walk. I love that we live in a place that can grow holly trees and dinner plate-sized dahlias. The berries are blackberries that didn't ripen before the cold weather. I tried one but it had started to ferment already. Luckily we had picked a huge batch for jam a couple months earlier.

Pumpkin picking at Michells Farm Market. Funny enough, this was the only time of the year that M couldn't find her pumpkin hat, so she settled for a bunny hat.

Halloween! I made a viking hat for a smiling T and a lamb costume for M. Her friend was dressed as a lion, which is funny because M has the temperament of a lion, and her friend is a little lamb. Apologies for the blurred picture - I don't want to post a picture of someone else's child. Plus, I thought it was really cute that the lion was pretending to eat the lamb!

Picnic in the leaves. The leaf in the bottom picture was more than a foot wide.
