October So Far

In early October, we went to a Hay-rack Ride (horse drawn) and Smores event with Church. Amelia enjoyed her first smore but was more interested in eating just the chocolate.

We had great fun at the pumpkin patch with Mom's Club. Amelia got her own sized pumpkin and discovered wheelie cars.

We visited a local fire station during fire safety week.

Grandma joined us at the Apple Orchard this week.

Amelia is discovering role playing this week. She had a great time with her friends when we hosted playgroup and continued the fun with a picnic on the dining room table with Daddy.

Day Out with Thomas . . . . and Cousin Tom

Suzie and Tom came to visit so we could go to see Thomas the Tank Engine at Boone Scenic Railway.

We had a lovely day the day before and Amelia and Tom took turns on the Trike and the car going to the park.

Unfortunately it poured when we went to Boone but we still had a good time. Apparently though, Thomas and Sir Tophamhat fall into the Father Christmas and Easter Bunny category so getting a picture with them was not too productive.

September Catch Up

We started September with a bike ride. Kate rented a bike and we attached a rented trailer to Kevin's bike and had a ride around Big Creek State Park. Amelia enjoyed it but it was probably a good thing that some trails were closed as she'd had enough by the time we got back.

She's had fun playing outside this summer. Particular favourite toys are her lawn mower and car (Kate ALWAYS wanted one of those as a kid).

Apple picking with friends.

Hanging out with Pooh and Piglet at the Botanical Center.

August Catch Up

Sorry it's been a while since our last update. Thankfully we have lots of pictures, so I'll have a few catch up posts.

Computers with Daddy. Butterfly Garden. Playing with stickers (one of her favourite things). At the State Fair. In her new ballet pajamas.

Amelia's 2nd Birthday




Amelia learned how to sing the "Happy Birthday" song. The first round is on Kate's birthday, the second a couple of days after her birthday, ending with "I'm Two!"




We had a fun time at the State Fair this year. Here's some movies from our visit to the little hands on the farm.

Ohio Trip Videos

Amelia & Tom playing during our Muscatine stop on our way to Ohio




Amelia spotted these tennis balls during our tour of Uncle Bill's house. This "game" continued for over half an hour.




Some fun movies from our trip to Ohio.



Amelia learned this trick our first night in Ohio. She has since figured out how to climb out of her cot too so has been in her big girl bed since the week of her birthday.
