Halloween Fun

      Happy Halloween! Grady couldn't help but be excited with all of the festive decorations in our neighborhood being up since September. This was a first pumpkin-carving for several members of the family!

        We took the kids to the pumpkin patch and had fun on the hayride...

 

 ..picking their pumpkin...

 ...climbing the rock wall...

  and crawling in the spider web!

     All  dressed up to get some candy!

 

Nine Months!

        At nine months, Emory has 3, almost 4 teeth, is crawling (just transitioned from army crawl to knees today), saying mamama and dadada, and having a hard time going down for a nap because she is doing this instead:

     One of my favorite things is how Emory makes kiss noises at us when she catches our eye.
     At her check-up today, she was 28 inches long (63%ile), 16 lbs and 11 oz (27th%ile) and 17.75 in head circumference (68th%ile). 

Botanical Gardens in Athens

       Here are some photos from our visit to the botanical gardens while visiting Athens. 

   I love those purple daisies. (NOT their scientific name.)
