Preppy Girl

Now all Anna needs is a Grand Wagoneer and she will be ready for the Handbook!

Thanksgiving

We were able to spend Thanksgiving at the beach again this year, and the weather was wonderful!

I've got work to do.

A stroll with Gamma
Don't forget the parade!

Building, Posing, & Screaming

Over the course of the last month I have discovered two fun things....

Building with Legos

and Posing for the camera!


I have also discovered how fun it is to scream, but Mommy says that isn't so fun :(

Anna & Ollie

Anna's friend Ollie came over for supper and a visit. Why did daddy keep asking him about his "intentions?"

Trick or CUTE!

Anna dressed-up as Holly Hobby / a Pilgrim / Laura Ingles Wilder for Halloween. Our friend Adele Vinsel from Louisville made the bonnet and Mama made the rest of my costume - it was awesome. We visited a handful of houses nearby for treats and enjoyed watching the other kids. Anna kept saying, "mo' treat," and, "eat it." Curses - genetics strike again!

Who are those doggies in the window?

Uncle Beau's Visit

Now that the kitchen has reached 10,000 feet, you may now use approved electronic devices.

1st Day of School

I am excited to report that I have started school. Mommy got me a backpack with my name on it and everything. I agreed to one (and only one) pre-school photo, as I was very excited.

OK, that's it, now let's go!


(Mommy would like to report that it is only Mom's morning out, and for now only 1 day a week. She was so excited that she would not even give me a hug when I dropped her off.)

Punkin' Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today with some friends from storytime. Mommy, Daddy and I had a very good time.

One of my very own

Perhaps this size is more appropriate?


Huh?

These Boots Were Made for Walkin'

It was wet and soggy on the Parish Family Retreat, so I wore my new boots. I think they are quite stylish, and they proved good for hiking.

Holy Photos, Batman!

To make up for the overly long break and lack of photos, hold onto your modem, there's lots coming here!

July ended with a visit from Mommy's friends Gretchen and Leigh, they are very funny, and we had a great time together.

I also started sitting on the potty, I had only been asking Mommy for one for 2 months!

But don't get me wrong I'm not actually using it yet :)

August started with a trip to see "ACK ACK" (aka Jack Jack, Laura and James' cat) in West Virginia. While there I went hiking with mommy,

ate ice cream with Uncle James,

learned to blow bubbles in the pool,

and rode the slide with Aunt Laura.

Once back in G'town, I continued to work on my bathing beauty status.

Then we headed off to the beach, where I attempted to summon the waves, but mostly had lots of fun in the "ocean".

We came home to a cold snap, so mommy started to get out the winter clothes and I had a blast with my hats!

Kiki and Brad are having a baby soon, so we went up to help celebrate,

Brad even let me help open the presents!

Hope everyone had a good end of summer, I know I did!
