Two Men And A Toddler

Pinch me 'cause I can hardly believe how beautiful the Pacific Northwest is at times. The rain we can hardly endure another day of at times does such a nice job of making all things green and lovely. Sophers recently had a special Saturday afternoon with Daddy and Grandpa in the great outdoors while I did some leisurly shopping all by myself. At the time it seemed like the right thing to do, but after looking at the pictures I think not.

A girl and her grandpa.

Ooooooo!



Ahhhhhh!



The brains and the brawns behind the operation.

So pretty even a toddler stops to observe.

Didn't they do a good job documenting their play? Another beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest.

Beach Day

It was a lovely November day in Oregon today. And if you know anything about Oregon you know lovely is somewhat rare this time of year. I felt we should do something special out of doors in celebration. Then my friend Nancy called and invited us to the beach with her family. After the tide went out far enough for us to frolic on the beach we had a grand ol' time chasing seagulls, playing tag with the surf and enjoying a picnic lunch on the beach. Thanks so much Nancy for inviting us along! It was the perfect use of our lovely and somewhat rare November day.

Halloween

I do take requests here on my blog and Aunt Lou wants Halloween pictures! I hope the rerun ladybug costume isn't a disappointment. I worked so hard on it last year and Sophia said she could rock that look again, so we did it! We got together with our friends Tim and Jessie and took our girls trick-or-treating at family friend's houses and then neighbors after that.

My favorite shot of the night. A sly little hand makes its way into the candy basket!

Her ladybug costume from last year still fit. Actually it was really big on her last year, but the hat was a different story. She was a good sport though!





Ladybugs and Butterflies are the best of friends you know.

Sophia is checking out Jessie's bling here.



Then the ladybug and the butterfly decided to try out their wings.

We enjoyed watching Sophia partake in the festivities. By the end of the night she had what she was supposed to say down pat, but she didn't quite understand why we kept knocking on doors and then leaving right away. However, this was a minor offense she was willing to endure since there was candy involved.

Hope you had a happy Halloween!
