Climbing and Building

Kennedy's school had an in-service day today. We met our friend Laural for lunch at Papa G's. The brown rice and curry plate with greens is very tasty. We stayed in the house for most of the day. Oliver crawled around looking for things to climb.



Kennedy brought out the games and the blocks. Here she is building a house for her and Zoe and Luci.

Field Trip

Kennedy's class went on a field trip to the Lee Farm's pumpkin patch this week. Here she is with one of her classmates, Kabir, saying "Look it; we both have green boots."



There was a lot of shuffling kids around from one hay barn to another field to see all of the sights.



Here's Kennedy on the Monster board.

Fall Weather

Oliver doesn't sleep in the pack anymore, but he still likes sitting up high and being carried around. He was 7 months old yesterday. He's pulling himself up on furniture pretty regularly and can actually hold a sitting position.



It was nippy this morning and we had to bring out the winter headwear. There's no frost on the pumpkin yet, but that's imminent. Here's Kennedy snuggled up with 2 of Oliver's first dolls.

Kennedy's New Class

There are 9 boys and 3 girls including Kennedy in her new class at school!



She's been at her new school for over a month and she's adjusted well. She started a karate class. At first she just watched the class but now she is participating and even asks "Is today karate day?" when we pick her up. Her Sensei (karate teacher) is very patient yet firm.

Run Kennedy Run

Here's a photo of Kennedy participating in her school's Race for the Arts run yesterday. She called Grandma and Grandpa Anderson last week and told them she was going to do 10 laps. Of course she asked them to sponsor her too, which they willingly agreed to do. She managed to complete 5 laps. She told us that she fell down, though she wasn'thurt, and then informed us that she "didn't have on proper running shoes."

Self Digital Portrait and Park Fun

Kennedy broke out the camera again on Friday and took random photos in the house. Her self portraits always make us smile.



We took advantage of a no-rain break last week and went to the park. Kennedy met her friend Zoe on the street and coaxed her into joining us too.

Various Swingy things

The Johnny Jump Up is still a good inside toy for Oliver. He's really jumping good these days though socks on the wood floor make it a little slippery.





We went to the park a lot early last week since rain was hanging threateningly over us with the beginning of October. Oliver is doing some assisted sliding, but the swing is still his favorite activity at the park.



Here's his big smile...

Dresses from Mimi and Cool Uncle C.K.

This is another dress Mimi got for Kennedy. She saved it to wear for picture day last week.



Uncle C.K. came over last week to watch the kids while Susan and I went to see a dance performance. Here he is reading to the kids. They just adore him.
