Harvest Fair

Image
By Sarah
Once again the 3 of us journeyed to Shepherd Valley for a fantastic Harvest Fair.  They had pony rides, hay rides, a giant sand pile with buried treasure, a scarecrow with lots of pockets children could take a toy out of, all kinds of crafts for kids of various ages, booths, fresh squeezed lemonade & apple cider, homemade pie, and best of all the Michaelmas play. The weather was wonderful, and Kaelah like always loved spending the day outside.  Below is a picture I thought Dan edited nicely.  Props to my wonderful hubby & iPhoto.  (:

The Michaelmas play consisted of a smoke breathing dragon that the children (as farmers, knights, smiths, gnomes etc.) were able to tame through their faith, team work, sacrifice, and virtue.  I simply adore Waldorf education.

I love fall with the outdoor festivals and the pumpkins! I can't wait to start wearing sweaters and enjoying the brisk air.

What a cute picture of you and Kaelah. Kudos to Dan for a good editing.

Cute picture. Every little girl deserves a great mom like you, Sarah.
PS...I LOVE the picture of Kaelah with the little pumpkin hat from last year. Praise be, Gymboree! (I have that same hat, but it looks so much cuter on a lil' baby!)
OH and PS...guess who is getting married end of October?

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

By Sarah
Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

By Sarah
The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
