Our Jack-O-Lantern

We finally got around to carving one of the pumpkins we picked last weekend. This was a first for us. I think it turned out pretty well...

Sophie helping Dave empty the pumpkin. Yes, we saved the seeds and toasted them later. 

An eye!

And the final product! Our pumpkin has just one tooth in the front, Sophie has all but two teeth in the front. We thought they complimented each other well :)

Potty Training

Well, it's been about 6 weeks, but I think we've finally got it down! Sophie is potty trained! There's been a lot of conversations about the potty and all things related in our house. Here's a shot of Dave ready "Once Upon a Potty" for what may be the 30th time.

Pumpkin Picking

This weekend we headed out to farm country to do some pumpkin picking with Claire and her family.

 They had some farm animals the kids could pet. This goat took a liking to Soph.

 This one might be a little big...

 Sophie crashed the photo shoot with Claire's little sister, Emma. Claire wouldn't sit down, but Sophie was more than happy to. 

This size is a little more appropriate. 

And for a preview of Sophie's Halloween costume this year, you can check out her Flight of the Bumblebee video on our YouTube channel. 

Haircut!

I gave Sophie her first big haircut right after school started again. It was getting really ratty and unruly, so decided to take matters into my own hands. I cut about 3 inches off the back, and some bangs, and have to say, it turned out pretty well (thank goodness!).

 She seems pretty happy with the results as well

Here's a shot once it's dry. With her BFF Claire of course :)

Dan and Maithili's Wedding

We only had two weddings this year, and they happened about 3 weeks from each other. Dan & Maithili got married just outside of Philadelphia in a beautiful waterfront ceremony. I didn't have my camera, so only have the pictures there were emailed to me. Once I get some of the actual ceremony (and bride & groom!), I'll update this post.

I love this picture! 

Carl Gets Married

When we got back from vacation, we headed straight to Delaware, where Carl & Amanda were getting Married. Dave was the best man in the wedding and the whole college crew was back together again.

All my ladies!
