Travels with Charlie

This is Vi's buddy, Charlie.

It is well known that our roads are dangerous.

Charlie is one trusty travel companion.

Violet was (obviously) frightened during a recent hayride, and

Charlie held her hand tightly to protect her from the scarecrows.

Stokoe Farms with Abel

A few weeks ago, Abel and TT joined us for a visit to Stokoe Farm. It was a beautiful fall day. The kind of day when a light sweater is needed and sufficient. We enjoyed the day sliding down monstrous slides, watching piglets escape from their pen, getting lost in the corn maze, eating warm donuts and dancing to the sounds of the singing chickens. Vi hardly stopped smiling all day - mostly because Abel was by her side.

Dear Readers, Please don't hate me...

I'm using facebook as our "look-at-what-we've-been-up-to" site and have obviously, painfully abandoned vi's blog. My autumn resolution is to pick it up again. wish us luck! ;)

A few pics from a walk today. Vi and I shared an apple muffin at a local coffee shoppe. After Vi had successfully introduced hannah the (stuffed) cat to every patron in the shoppe, we set off on an adventure. Very few would consider a walk down a neighborhood street an adventure, but if you have spent any time with a 2 year old you understand. We had a wonderful time counting pumpkins, throwing fallen leaves into the air and gathering sticks (her new favorite). Oye.

Look at this kid. how could you not love that face.
