Today was not snowy or freezing (sorry people in Buffalo), so we went out for some fun time in the gazebo. Bowden was a little wary of the camera, but Lucy was not, but I tempted him into it by telling him that we were going to take pictures for Grandma Tate, so she'd know what they look like at the airport when we go to Vermont next month.

We didn't just sit inside and watch television yesterday.

Why, why, why, so many pictures of Bowden on this day wearing this outfit?! Why?!

I have other things on my mind. I have been too preoccupied to find time for better shots, but they are both doing well, and sleeping nicely in their rooms, like their dad.

Grumpy Lucy- working on two new molars, couldn't get a smile out of her all day.

What happened to the milder temperatures of autumn? Today we went on a walk at ten-thirty in the morning, and the thermometer said it was all of 39 degress outside. I was cold!!!
My chilluns already in their winter hats and coats, we went out and walked with Robin Gates and her son Jordan at the County Park, and then played at their oasis of a play area at their house. It was good times- the boys began to get violent, and it was time to go, despite both of their protests that, "But, we'll be good boys!"

Yesterday Lucy learned how to say the word "up" complete with a "puh" sound at the end and the cutest little pursing of lips to go along with the noise. She uses it with authority- to be picked up, or to get up on something. Look how pleased she is!

Who needs a pumpkin patch when you can just go to the pharmacy and hang out in the pumpkin box? My small Pumpkins fit right in with the other small pumpkins, and enjoyed our stop. Really, I'd say more, but it wasn't very exciting or eventful...the pictures say it all.
