Oh sure, we still have some fun in the sun to be had this year. But the first of yellow leaves and crisp mornings don't lie.
Piper's drawing is at an all time high. And not just the blue eyebrows she gave her sister today.

She's drawing elephants and cats, but still her favorite is spiders.

Oh, and her own eyebrows.
Something has happened in the last week.
Her communication and understanding seems to have deepened.
And while she's always been compassionate, she's emerging a bit out of the " everything is all about me" 3 year old state. She notices when her actions affect others.

The only harvest at our house.
The lone tomato that survived.
Grandma Les planted it in May.

Yum!!


Thank goodness for that pacifier!
Moxie is teething like a mad woman, but give her the paci and she's cool 85% of the time. She only uses it for teething days and rough evenings.
She's striking her 3rd nap most days so it's a long time to even an early bed time.

Moxie is a favorite of the little girls we know and love. Saoirse calls her Mox, and cries when we leave. Speaking of crying there on the left is Amalie. She's Kiahi's little sister and she looses it over Moxie. She's a baby doll kinda little girl and she wants to be Moxie's Momma in a very bad way. I can't blame their obsession. Her laugh is infectious and she loves other little kids so much she's just giggles and smiles.

Piper's first attempt at make up...


With a new big kitchen I've been canning with Piper. Peaches a few days ago. Apple butter today. She helps with the prep and entertains herself while I finish. She seems to get it. We talk about eating with the seasons. I tell her: peaches don't grow in the winter, so we store them now so we can enjoy them when it's snowing outside.
Next up is more of the same and some tomatoes.


The open house for the new school was yesterday. It was awesome. I think it's going to be incredible. It's going to stretch her a bit, but I think that will be good. It will be an incredible base for when kidnegardner starts.
