Vala's Pumpkin Patch In Pictures

This is Lindsay sitting in a really BIG rocking chair. She wasn't so sure what to think. But, she still wanted to climb it!

Last year Lindsay was scared of the baby goats. This year she loved to point and "talk" to the big goats.

This is Cinderella's Carriage in the story book area. She loved looking out of the window.

A really big slide. Since we know that Lindsay is scared of tube slides at the park, we thought that maybe if she went down with Joe holding her it would be better(this slide is bigger around than those at the park) and it was. She really enjoyed it!

Lindsay "driving" a tractor.

She wanted so bad to reach out and touch one of the bunnies. But, all she could do was reach as far as she could. And then she settled for just looking.

These are called "Jumping Pillows". Lindsay had a lot of FUN on them. She enjoyed laying on the side and being bounced around as the bigger kids jumped.

But, she wanted so badly to jump as well. She did pretty well on her hands and knees. Just not big enough to jump with her socks yet.

As much as Lindsay enjoyed the jumping, I think Joe enjoyed it even more!


Coming off the "pillow" all jumped out.



More to come...

15 Months

I can't believe my little baby is so BIG! She is continuing to learn and explore many new things. Everyday we have a new adventure before us. I love my little girl and her excitement about life!

Helping in the Garden

Lindsay is always very happy to help Mom and Dad in the garden. Her favorite part is picking the tomatoes. She has (over the course of the summer) pretty much chosen her favorite part of the garden: the cherry tomato plant. It is the first thing she zooms to and we usually have to take her away from it!

This is how the process goes.

First, look around and locate the best one.

Second, reach a little further to pick it off.

Third, enjoy the delightful taste of your harvest.And Lastly, leave feeling very happy (and full of tomatoes)!!

Lindsay's Leg Rings

When I was finishing up some canning, Lindsay got into a box of rings and seals. She neatly placed the rings on her leg and the seals back into the box. By the time she was done the rings covered from her knee to her ankle.
I think this picture shows a little of who Lindsay is; I love watching her creativity and preciseness shine through. She has an amazing personality and is fun to be around! I love her so much!

Peaches

I couldn't help but smile when I walked into the kitchen to find this:

She decided to help herself to a peach. She enjoyed it so much... that she went back for another one not many hours later! The only difference is that I caught her quicker and saved myself some mess with the high chair. (Oh, and the story with the fork, Lindsay refuses to eat in her highchair unless she has one!)
