Finally, a use for that crib mattress! (it was an old crummy foam one)

testing out a new sling I made

"I'm a drill!" (drilling holes in the driveway)

Lorelei inspects a bowtie noodle

Nana gave us some dry ice to play with

"I will be very very careful"

adding dish detergent.. this is fun!

Silly face

I'm a super duckling!

Lorelei snacking

silly snarky girl

practicing his chopstick skills

Boo!

Lorelei and Mike having some sling fun

happy little slingling

Well, it would be a cute picture if he didn't have goo all over his face. Oh well.

Lorelei scores! Camera strap!

snoozing in her big girl carseat

Mmm...

Meanwhile, mountain climber Elliott explores the farm

Having fun at the Boyden Valley winery/farm

Whoosh!

Elliott's first tire-horse ride

enjoying their giant swingset

Nana feeds the apparently starving goats and donkey

"really, we haven't eaten a thing all week! more dandilions please!"

Elliott in heaven - err, the giant sandbox

sheltering from the drizzle

the rooster selecting squash

getting down to some serious work with Nana

Lorelei loves the crinkly corn stalks

Looking a bit like Jillian in this picture, I think


"looks like rain again"

oooh!

the pumpkin hugs the pumpkin

describing how their crane arm worked "brrhhhhh"

Elliott telling Nana all about it

Only one thing could make this day finer.. a cherry tootsie roll pop!

Elliott not smiling

well, could be worse..

If I smile will you give me my lollipop back?

Look Lorelei, a pumpkin!

I love my sister (*squaaaash*)

Lorelei is sad after we accidentally drop Terry's new curtain rod on her head, SORRY!!

the perfect pout

Rachel cheers her up

Lorelei is not impressed with Dad's programming skills (she's asleep)

Mike before work..

We cheat and offer Lorelei a tiny touch of one of the Wellman's baked acorn squash

Hey, this is an unusually tasty spoon!
