Life

We went to the apple orchard a few weeks ago. It was so cold, but I wanted to eat my apple so badly I went without mittens. We got a pumpkin too, and had some hot apple cider.

They think I'm a baby doll in the church nursery. I'm the youngest there.

Emily fed me Cheerios and Myles helped me drink my milk.

I'm learning to brush my teeth now. Daddy is a great teacher.

We went on a MOPS hayride and had a bonfire.

15 Months Old!

Mommy decided apples weren't the greatest props for this photo shoot, as all I wanted to do was eat them! I love ahhh-bulls (that's how I say it)

We went to the zoo for an Ophthamology 100 year celebration--Daddy's biggest fear is being eaten by a shark, so he got one step closer to overcoming that fear by petting one at the shark petting pool.--not quite sure what the next step would be :-)

I get to play with lots of friends throughout the week. We had my friends Kate and Elizabeth over one day and Mommy took us to the park. It was so fun!

We went to a cabin in Hawking Hills with some friends for a weekend. This was our hike around a lake.

I love my cousin!

Andrew's Place

We did a little photo shoot for the afternoon--Mommy and I stayed with Cousin Andrew's family while Daddy went to a friend's wedding in VA for the weekend.

Yeah, what a good driver Andrew!

We have fun going for car rides.

I am so excited. I learned to climb the stairs to the slide and then slide down--all by myself!!!!

Toledo

In September, we all finally went up to Toledo to spend a weekend at Aunt Julia's place. It was nice to be together and fun to see her area of town.

Uncle Stephen, Andrew and me

We went to the art museum and met up with a good friend of Mommy's.

San Francisco

The view from the home we stayed in for the week.

Sunset at home.

Frank and Kim so generously hosted us for the entire stay.

I loved playing at the water park.

After the scenic drive (below), we walked around the town of Carmel.


The Lone Cyprus (We took a scenic drive along the Pacific Ocean).

Daddy and me at the first tee at Pebble Beach Golf Course.

Sunset on the beach.

I'm posing.




Kim and Jennifer babysat me (and Kim's granddaughter Anna) all day. I had so much fun playing with them. Mommy and Daddy had a blast on their own (I can't imagine how, without me there!)

Mommy and Daddy ate in China town. They just told the chef how hungry they were and he picked out what to feed them.

We saw lots of seal lions and even two dolphins playing along the pier in Monterey.

Part of the scenic drive.


Sausalito, CA

San Francisco

The curviest road in the world.

The Golden Gate Bridge was always a bit foggy, but still amazing.

I got to play at the Children's Discovery Museum.

Boy, this is a big tree~

To start out our vacation, we went to our cousin's wedding and then had a family reunion. This is some of us a Applebee's.

This thing was cool; there was always another girl who looked like me on the other side of it!

The wedding reception.
