Our little pumpkin

An unusually beautiful Fall day in the NW, we trucked up to Skagit valley and got a pile of pumpkins to go with our little punkin. She loved the wagon and the hot air balloons were an unexpected bonus.

J.T. (Jive Turkey) and his halloween harem

The harem consisted of the Indian princess herself, baby Fatima, Candy-Joe Reistad, and Jeanie-Joe Jovi. We hit the streets mid-day for free candy and freakiness. Lilja was in heaven and Garth looked outta sight!

Booty-licious

Lilja's booty looks so cute in these jammies from Gran! She kept carrying around this business card tonight and showing it to me, as if to say, "Have you seen one of these things?" The book is her favorite and a hand-me-down from Brooke and Brad...making it even more special. Thanks Jen!

Chair mates

Marina's darling little Russkie didn't mind sharing his rocking chair with such a cute little American sweetheart.

Little devil

Like mother like daughter...we both have a little bit of red devil in us. But that makes me love her even more!

Saturday morning on the kitchen floor

Can't help but share a picture of the new two front teeth and the little red laeder hosen outfit. She loves the tiger puppet from aunt Jenny!

Hiker in training

You talkin' to me?

The key to life is a pair of clean ears.

Orange you sweet

pj party

Lilja's butt looks so cute in these thermal pj's. There's Nana's sweater, too, which fits her perfectly. But it's the stuff inside the duds that Da-da loves!

Working girl

Lilja helped to take down the old fence today! She loves being outside with Da-da and watching both he and Humberto while they work. She was even willing to skip her morning nap for all the excitement!
