Quick Update

We have been very busy lately. Last weekend my co-worker and her daughter came over to meet Allie. Her daughter will be babysitting Allie when we go to my Christmas party. Allie has never had an actual babysitter, so I wanted to see how comfortable she would be with somebody new. It went very well, so it will be nice to have somebody we can call if Jeremy and I want to do something. I also started Christmas shopping (STRESS). I should have done it in July. The stores are so busy and it is awful. I'm very excited to get the tree up and bake cookies.

Jeremy and I just got new computers, so we thought Allie could use our old laptop to play games on the internet. It's pretty funny watching her focus on getting her finger to move the arrow the correct place. She is picking it up very quickly. She loves listening to music and painting on some kids websites. Here she is focused on her game.

Carving Pumpkins & Halloween

Allie didn't mind digging the pumpkin guts out this year. She really liked helping daddy carve the pumpkin.

I didn't post of each person, but if you would like to see them you can check out the Klimek blog or the Lewis blog. We all had a great time. It was good to see everybody. Thanks Connie!

Allie finally going down the slide. There are many slides all over the pumpkin patch and she wouldn't go down the slide until we were almost done, and she of course loved it and didn't want to stop.

Allie didn't want to leave until I took a picture of her in behind all of the cutouts.

A Rainy Day at the Apple Orchard

There are a few animals at the apple orchard that we see each year, but it was raining this year so all of the animals were under the shelter trying to stay out of the rain.

Allie by the apple orchard sign again. I'll try to post the ones from previous years later, but I don't have them on this computer.

Allie enjoying a wonderful caramel apple on our way home. She ate a few bites of the apple, but mostly scraped the caramel and nuts off with her teeth. I had one also, but we didn't need any pictures of that.
