Trip to the pumpkin patch! (10.17.14)

Evra and I had an outing to Lemos Farms this afternoon for a visit to the pumpkin patch.  While I'm sure that she will enjoy this more when she gets a bit older, we had a great time with Auntie K and Ailia.  And there were some amazing photo opportunities!

Pumpkins!!




Sleeping through the beginning of the adventure!

Hanging out with Ailia!

Kisses for Evra!

Fun on the playmat! (10.13.14)

Today Evra tried out her jungle-themed playmat, complete with mirror, music, lights, rattles, and everything but the kitchen sink.  She was definitely entertained for at least 10 minutes, during which I was able to snap some really cute pictures...

Walking in the sun! (10.11.14)

Going on a walk around the neighborhood with Mommy, Daddy, and Mason.  And trying out a new sun hat (which was absolutely enormous...)!
