Late Fall Recap

Our Fall was a whirlwind, and here are some overdue photos of some of our adventures.

The big oak in our backyard decided to drop practically ALL of it's leaves one mid-November day. It was incredible - like waking up to a fresh coat of snow... except it all needed to be raked! Note the new shed still under construction. It's now complete (sort of... it needs to be painted) and happily holding much of the stuff that took up lots of space in our basement.

Leah loved playing in all the leaves!


Here we are at Open Gym at the Maine Gymnastics Academy. Leah had a blast climbing, swinging, jumping, sliding, etc. It's a great facility just a mile or two away!



We shared Thanksgiving with Aunt Sara, Kristin, and Dan at Kristin's house just outside of Boston. Unfortunately, our camera ran out of battery, so we just have a few photos of the holiday. Let's just say we had plenty to eat and lots of fun hanging out and relaxing. We missed seeing Em and Josh, who were with their dad, but Leah sure enjoying playing with all their toys!



Once back home, we took Leah on a short hike not far from our home. She loved kicking the leaves and walking on the bridge over the waterfall!

Kay's House, Fall 2008

Leah continues to love being at Kay's house - a.k.a. Our Growing Place. Below is a compilation of pictures that shows some of their autumn activities. We love getting a glimpse of how Leah spends her days, and we are so grateful for the quality care that she receives from Kay and Daniel.

Blogging Drought

It's been far too long since I last blogged. Our routine has transformed from summer bliss to work weeks and weekends. We've enjoyed a gorgeous Maine fall, and can hardly believe it's almost Thanksgiving! There are lots of stories to share and pictures to see, but for now these slide shows of September and October will have to suffice. Enjoy and I'll update more soon!

September, in a nutshell....
