Egg Hunt #1

Our neighborhood has an Eggstravaganza every year. This year Sofia was able to get 2 eggs, which is about right for her at this event. The problem is that they only separate it into infants and everyone else. Sofia is also not the best egg hunter. She sees an egg across the field that she wants and she skips all the others on her way there but someone beats her to it. She still had fun though. She got to eat popcorn, chips (from nachos), had a drink, picked flowers and played with a lady bug. She and V also spent some time playing on the park equipment.

Wild Kingdom

Recently our house was Wild Kingdom.

We had a family of baby bunnies living under the slide in the back yard.
We tried to help "take care" of them for a few days but one day Lucy was in the back yard alone for a while and scared them all off.

Then we had a 4 ft corn snake in the garage.
Dave caught it and released it a few miles up the road in an area of foliage.

Pumpkin Patch

While showing this blog to a co-worker earlier today I realized I forgot to post pictures from our trip to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm on October 21st.

After our trip to the Pumpkin Patch and short naps we headed to a birthday party at the Parker Fire Station. Sofia loved it!

The fireman handled Sia's questions quite well
It took several of us...
... but Sia made it into full fireman gear

Dallas World Aquarium

Daddy took the day off so we could take our annual trip to the Dallas World Aquarium on Mommy's last day off this summer. Vivian joined us this year.


Who knew anteaters liked to play


Daddy took a picture of Mommy taking a picture of Vivian

Our Silly Little One

Sofia loves picking "flowers" and right now our backyard has plenty to spare.
Notice the over-full pockets.

First Snow of the Year



It's amazing what a difference 30 minutes makes. And it's still coming down steady.

Around noon it switched from frozen drizzle to actual snow. The flakes have gotten larger over the last 20 minutes. I'll post another picture later today.

Pumpkin Patch

Sofia got her second "big girl" haircut on Saturday. She wasn't so sure about the stylist.

Sunday we headed to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Celina with Aunt Cori, Uncle Adam and Dixie.

A butterfly (and several bees and flys) stopped by to check out lunch.



After sharing a snowcone with Mommy, Sofia showed us some of her dance moves.
