Fall Colors

Fall Colors

Fall is here and the maple tree outside of our house is ablaze with bright reds and oranges.

And there is a little girl who doesn't mind showing off her new tutu while she admires the colors.

But only for so long before she runs off to join the neighbor kids, Owen and Flinn, to play outside.

And comes back looking like this. :-)

What fun!

Rainy Day

A few days back we got some much needed rain, and along with it came some cooler temperatures. It felt like fall rolled right in, and boy were we ready for it at this house.

It's perfect weather for enjoying time on the porch, and Attia puts it to good use.

She just sat and quietly watched the rain for quite some time. So sweet!

Attia's Eight Month Photo Shoot

At the beginning of November Attia and I did her eight month photo shoot. The weather was great and the leaves and fall colors were beautiful. A perfect combination for one last outdoor photo shoot for the year! Attia thought it was great a good idea also, because as we know, she loves to play with leaves - and apparently pumpkins are fun too!

Let the Good Times Roll, Part 1: September

Wow! Where does the time go? It's November already!?

October was a fun month for us, but very busy! We had bike races, visits from out-of-town family, a baby shower, play dates, holiday activities - not to mention all of the everyday things! We were so busy that I never got around to posting our misc. September pics, so I will post those now and then I'll cover October in the next post!

You know fall is near when mums start to show up. 

This year Attia helped us get a few planted:

She had lots of fun playing with toys, and was able to enjoy them in all kinds of positions - standing, sitting, laying, you name it!

And we made many fun memories throughout the month:

Having lunch with daddy at Central 

Playing with flowers at South Park

Enjoying nice weather on the porch

And resting up for more :-)

Attia's First Halloween: The Great Pumpkin

Happy Halloween!!!

Attia's first Halloween was lots of fun. She didn't even really mind being a pumpkin - as long as she didn't have to be a pumpkin for too long. :-)

Just hangin' with her pumpkin friends

Is that one with the face alive?

What are these things anyway?

We started the festivities on Wednesday night, with a baby Halloween party at the Lawrence Public Library. It was thrown by the mommy group that Attia and I had been going to, so it was nice to see some of the moms and babies that we haven't seen recently.

Then on Halloween we went downtown to check out the trick-or-treating on Massachusetts Street. Every year the downtown merchants pass out candy to throngs of costumed kids and teenagers. We didn't actually trick-or-treat, but we walked through the crowds and took in the sights. 

All in all it was a great Halloween. 

Happy Halloween!!
