Halloween

This week we headed to the Pumpkin Patch again with our friends from playgroup then on Friday Amelia dressed up for Beggar's Night. We're not quite sure why Des Moines does Trick or Treating the day before Halloween.

Amelia kept trying to move the candy away from the door and ran away every time the door bell rang. Good job the weather was so bad that we only had three trick or treaters.

Thanks Grandma Becky for the outfit!

Sliding the Amelia Way

Amelia has added to her swinging expertise by mastering sliding. Here's some video and pictures of our recent trip to the park.

Pumpkin Patch

On the first sunny day in way too long we headed to Howell's Pumpkin Patch with Grandma. Amelia enjoyed the corn pit (once she got used to it), the hay rack ride and the corn maze but was a bit tired by the time we got to the looking for pumpkins bit.

Suzie & Tom Visit

Auntie Suzie & Cousin Tom visited us again for a few days. Amelia and Tom got along quite well but definitely have different personalities.

Pumpkins, purses, and dolls

Here are some recent pictures of Amelia around the house and out at a pumpkin patch. She has suddenly shown an interest towards Mummy's purse (not a good sign for Daddy). She also loves carrying around her dolls and teddy bears with the occasional hug. Hope you enjoy.

England Pictures

Here's some pictures from our trip to England. We spent time in Sommerset visiting friends, then in Dover for (2nd?) cousin Max's Christening before heading up to Southport to see the rest of the family. We found a new (to us) park with lots of swings and slides so Amelia was happy.

England

We spent the last few weeks of September in England. It was nice seeing friends and family. Amelia learned a few new things such as going downstairs, pointing to just about every part of her face except her mouth, and has improved her walking. Here is a collage of videos from the trip.
