Tim's self portrait using pumpkins as his medium. Luella learning how to trick-or-treat using our house for practice! Tim's masterpiece - cannibal pumpkins! Kyla made Goobers, Luella and herself using pumpkins. The family is complete with Tim's pumpkin too! The goose is just for fun. Kyla replanted fall flowers. Luella, the butterfly, looks cute with her candy bag. Kyla can't wait to paint Luella's face tonight and trick-or-treat for real!

Crisp Autumn fun!

Luella helped pick out pumpkins and we had to get the one that's as big as her! Kyla and Luella showing their cart of autumn goods! The moms and babies tried to get a picture at Sigrid's 1st birthday party. What were we thinking? You just have to laugh about it! Paige and Sigrid Evers, Carly and Ian Riisager, Kyla and Luella.
