Snow time

Well, we haven't gotten the big hit like a lot of the country, but we're expecting some this weekend. Then again, we did get a couple inches last week and it was Sophie's first snow experience...

Plus, 'giving mommy five'...

Wrapping Up November

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Hard to believe the end of 2007 is so rapidly approaching. Best to all, and stay cozy this winter.

Here are some recent shots of our baby girl, still growing and learning about life. Gotta bundle her up!

Love,

Florida

80 degrees in November? Yes, in the land of sunshine. We took Sophie down for a trip to see Grandpa and Mama Dollie in New Smyrna Beach, after the latest tropical storm cleared out. We had a great long weekend, with many trips to the pool and a Captain's Platter or two. Sophia took to the water tentatively, but seemed to enjoy it. At the bottom are a bonus shot of newest cousin Lucinda Meredith Herrington and a couple videos, swimming and "standing" with Grandpa.

Halloween

OK, by popular demand, here are a few shots of Sophia's halloween getup. Courtesy of family friends the Keens, we present the Butterfly/Colts fairy:

Hallo

We love you all. Don't be strangers. Here we go with some new pictures:

Apple Orchard/Pumpkin Patch

Pretty fall weekend; we took a trip down south to the Apple Works orchard in Trafalgar, Ind. We sat on gourds and loaded up on fruit. The little one is enjoying her first Indiana autumn.

New Pix

Hope all is well out there in Autumn-Internet-land. Here's some September shots of our little star. Six months old already! And now Aunt Nida has moved back to Indianapolis, so there's even more family around to help the girl grow up. It takes a village, etc....
