hodgepodge, part 1

I admit.

I've been a total slacker in the blog department.

I have some excuses, including:

My mom arrived and I stopped uploading pics. Plus I got frustrated trying to adjust the picture size in blogger. I've since given up and am waiting for a more patient day.

I promise to do better.

In that effort, I give you 'hodgepodge part 1'... the next few postings will be catching up on all sorts of October/Fall shenanegans. Enjoy.

about two weeks ago, emi decided it was time to start carving pumpkins. we were headed to a pumpkin carving party at our neighbor's house a few days later - so essentially this was a dry run.

like marcus' look of concentration? he'd never carved a pumpkin until a few years ago.

so proud...

some of our many gourds from Riverbend Farms. i was trying out some new settings on my camera... hence the blur.

"A" ordered her this skirt from Gymboree... she loves to dance in it.
