new hat and pumpkins

First photo - no explanation other than we bought a new cute hat.

We carved two more pumpkins yesterday. Lindsey drew a princess and a silly face with her tongue sticking out for the patterns. The pictures are sort of similar to last year, and it's crazy that I was hugely pregnant just a little more than a year ago.

Elise is 1!

Here are a few fun photos from Elise's birthday party. Kids got to dress up - Elise looked great in her fish costume, and Lindsey was excited to wear her beautiful Snow White costume, made by Nana. Elise had a great time, but was not terribly interested in the cake. We made pumpkin cupcakes from a pumpkin from our garden - yum!

On the go

Here are a couple shots of Elise moving around. Also one of both girls. I was almost the mother who bought my girls matching dresses. Yikes. They are coordinating instead.
