Cousins Come To Town

We had so much fun with Jeremy, Laura, Kennedy and Ansley. They came and stayed a few nights with us and Chelsea could not have been happier. She loved having her cousins to laugh and play with and copy! A special thank you to Ansley who showed Chelsea how to eat from a spoon!

Each day we visited the park and here are the girls swinging...

We cannot wait to be with them and the rest of the Pickers for Thanksgiving.

Bit of pumpkin paradise

This is my favorite pumpkin- the fairytale.

Here are a few photos of "Under the Sun" where I work 12 hours a week. I love being outside, serving interesting customers, working with pumpkins and plants... and especially being with Penny! (I did take a picture of the 2 of us together but it was awful.)

And here was an attempt to get a cute picture of Chelsea and me. Unfortunately she was concentrating on getting the flowers into her mouth instead of smiling for the camera.

Catching up...

What a blessing it is to have a content and flexible baby. Currently and indefinitely our schedule is pretty unpredictable. I am working a bit- a few hours a week with my girlfriend Penny at Under The Sun. Yeah, it is an easy going job selling fall decorations and many varieties of decorative pumpkins. I LOVE it! I will be posting pics soon. I am also tutoring twice a week in the evenings. Pick is working at the Heart Hospital full time taking two classes. We are evaluating our housing options, looking for a house to buy, wondering if we may need to just rent.... not sure how it will play out.

We try to reserve the in-between times to relax together as a family. We often go for evening walks now that the weather has cooled off. There is a park around the corner from my parents place and Chelsea is a big fan of the swings. She is also loves their lab Cadbury. She sits on the floor and he sniffs her, and occassionally will lay down with his head in her lap. She just grins and tugs at his ears.

Okay- seriously, could my daughter look any more like Pick?
