So behind

As this blog has been badly neglected, and much time passed, I suppose the best place to begin this post is where I left off:
At the end of summer we finally got a few eggplants to show for all our hard work in the garden. Mom made Mary pose with them hoping it would give the illusion that the eggplants were larger than they really were.

After visiting with Uncle Will this fall he informed me plaid was "in" this season. So after rummaging through my dresser drawers I put together this little outfit that I sported all fall.

Mary has been busy, playing the part of "family princess" quite well. She keeps all of us on our toes and insists that I pull her around the yard in our wagon...I believe she has put on a few pounds too!

When the weather got colder we turned to new forms of play indoors. (Mom really seems to hate this game.)


Another new game is our mechanic shop. Mary is the assistant, but I don't have the heart to tell her a saw is highly unnecessary for an oil change.


My favorite storybook this fall was "The Five Little Firemen". Here Mary and I are reading it first thing in the morning. Since Mom and Dad are tired of reading it, I am trying to commit it to memory.


We met our newest baby friend. Mary and I have what Mom calls "baby fever"!


While visiting a pumpkin patch we took a ride on a school bus,

cannon-launched pumpkins,

and made regular fools of ourselves.

We've learned a lot this fall too, but most importantly how to play together.





And pose for the camera.
