Just so I’m not all serious all the time on this blog, I wanted to share the fun we had last Sunday looking for a pumpkin. Julia had a blast messing with these massive orange things in the dirt!

I love watching the wonder unfold in her eyes now that she’s well along the way as far as interacting with her environment. When we visited family down in Ft. Worth last year, we took some time out in a pumpkin patch and she wasn’t nearly as interested.

We have a marvelous holiday season ahead of us and it’s always fun to begin it with Halloween. Julia will be dressed up as a flower this year, and I shudder to think of the next few years when she realizes she can get free candy from everyone in the neighborhood!

She finally started trying to play “ball” with it, but had a little more difficulty than usual…

But finally got it to roll… well, fall over!

I guess perseverance still counts for something!
