Nineteen Months!

Look at the left margin for older pictures!

October is a busy month, so here you go with an interim update.  We spent most of the month going to various pumpkin patches and Halloween parties.  Mason just loved running around through the pumpkins, but playing with the tractors was even better!

Next was a visit to Nash Farm, a historic farm only one block from our house!  Mason got to see more tractors, ride a pony, play with the farm animals and he got to decorate his first pumpkin.

Mason has always been a climber, but now it's just getting crazy!  Yes, he got on this bike on his own.  Also, Mason poses with some beautiful roses.

Daddy gets to see the pumpkin patch and Mason goes bezerk in a maze.  Afterwards, he got to enjoy a Mexican restaurant and dress up in a Home Depot apron.

The rest of the time leading up to Halloween is a blur, but here are a few samples.  Mason dances for the traditional singer; eats his cupcake with a spoon; helps Daddy complete a project; experiments with Dad's camera flash; tries out his bunny costume; steals a pumpkin; helps Mommy with the gardening -- while tethered to a tree; and finally on a very cold Halloween night gets to wear his costume.
