Fall

first fire of the season
Juila and Sol went on a walk in the jogging stroller, but the tires were flat, so it was more like a sled.
This is the face that Sol makes when he realizes the camera is on him. Laura loves taking pictures of this face.

Solomon has enjoyed the fall. Especially the outdoors. We had the best time playing and rolling around in the ginko leaves. I wish I had my camera with me. He was precious letting the leaves fall in his face. We could make leave angels in the grass.

MAGGIE

Maggie, MM, and Ben came to visit this past weekend. We couldn't get enough of Maggie. She and Solomon couldn't keep their mouths off of each other. Even Maggie would lean in for a kiss.
(Maggie 5 months, Solomon 14 months)

Pumpkin Carving and other to be Traditions

It's not easy taking a group baby picture!

Parker and PaPa Pat.
Disney characters!

This isn't a tradition I hope. Neall dressed Solomon.... need I say more? Even Solomon knew it was very bad.
Solomon loved to put the fake teeth in.
Our first pumpkin carving.

We made a very simple pumpkin. We pushed holes through the pumpkin, that's about it.

Neall and Solomon took a break from Halloween activites to play some ball. Now when we're outside Solomon gets the ball goes under the goal and grunts until Neall lifts him to dunk.


Martha, Laura, Neall, and I made paper mache skulls. They turned out really well, and it was fun. Neall and I also painted some gourds as ghosts.. very cute.

Solomon was Pluto. This was at Eldridge Court.


At the FUMC trunk or treat. We had a very good time. This is Kristen with Sol and Max. Max is only 4 months old and weighs almost as much as Solomon!
Greeting the newest member of the gang: Cooper Haralson.

Julia's first Hotdog! She loved it, almost as much as Kristen enjoyed feeding it to her.

My favorite photo

I haven't published this photo or video yet, and I don't know why. I love looking at it. This was taken before Solomon's first birthday. He loves to take the airplane book at my Mom's house and pretend to fly. This particular day Laura put radio headphones on him. Now he was flying and listening to music. He was hot stuff. That is a tube of mascara in his hand. He was pretending to smoke a cigar like PaPa... great influence.

Weekend Fun

Last weekend Mom, Dad, Poppy, Granny, Mary-Margaret, Maggie, Neall, Becca, and Solomon all went to the Pumpkin Patch in Augusta. We had a blast!! Solomon enjoyed the wide open spaces while Neall, MM, and I enjoyed getting lost in the corn maze.







Earlier the same morning we went to the Memphis Farmer's Market. Solomon was enjoying the live music.

PaPa and Maggie listening to the live band.

We love Emmy!

We loved loved loved having Emmy stay with us last week. We really miss her. She is such a delight. Here are a few pics from a very fun week. (Except the night that the Shepard family stole her.)
