Picking Pumpkins

6a00d83451dd1e69e200e54f40b0908833-800wi5

We went to None Such Farms to get our pumpkins on Sunday. It was a beautiful day, a bit windy, but nice and sunny.

Fiona especially enjoyed dancing to the bluegrass band and riding in the wheelbarrow out in the fields.

You can see the whole collection of photos here.

Halloween Photos

6a00d83451dd1e69e200e54f40b0908833-800wi14

Halloween is always a big deal around here. Jack and Owen start planning their costumes in about July.

This year, Owen is Hercules and Jack is a Roman gladiator.

Fiona was supposed to be a monkey, but she HATED her monkey costume and wouldn’t keep the headpiece on, so she …

How Fiona Spends the Time at Soccer Games

6a00d83451dd1e69e200e54f40b0908833-800wi10

She doesn’t really always cry. I think this particular fit was set off when I took something away from her. She especially likes to snarf other people’s water bottles. Mostly she enjoys soccer games, being outside with the people and dogs and playing with all the balls.

Fiona had her one-year-old photo taken last week (actually, I guess it’s her 13.5-month  photo). She was pretty wild and silly during the whole photo shoot, as you’ll see.

This is one of the proofs from when she was REALLY being a happy girl, but it captures her …

Fiona went to camp as well

fiona

Fiona’s been schlepped (sp?) along to soccer all week, but she’s pretty much enjoyed herself. She LOVES to play with a ball, so she sits among the extra soccer balls and amuses herself. She also got to play a bit on the playground with Owen one night. Being a flirt, …

What a Girl!

Gotta make sure Fiona gets equal time.  So here’s a page with her. She’s having a great time playing in her wading pool at Grandmom & DadDad’s.

Although … just a thought, but, perhaps, with that little belly, maybe she shouldn’t be wearing a bikini?

Fiona’s Ice Cream Adventure

6a00d83451dd1e69e200e54f3a2e0b8833-800wi

Fiona is officially a McKenna (as if we weren’t sure!) Apparently McKennas love ice cream above all other desserts (Hales prefer other kinds of desserts.) She’s had nibbles of ice cream on other occasions, but Monday was the first time she ever had an ice cream …

Just Another Cute Photo of Fiona

6a00d83451dd1e69e200e54f3a1f6b8833-800wi

Just a cute picture for everyone to enjoy. Fiona was sitting on the back on my dad’s boat yesterday looking especially adorable. (Of course, just after this she demonstrated why we call her “Thunder Princess;” she spent about 20 minutes eating leaves and wait ’til you see the pictures

Not to Neglect Fiona

fiona

I don’t want to neglect Fiona (aka Thunder Princess), so until I get to write about her, here’s a recent photo of her pretty little smile.

(However, she’d be a lot prettier if she’d sleep once in a while. The baby books say that babies need 12-14 hours of
