Oh How I Love Fall!

 Heading out on a leaf hunt
 Playing with the hedge apples which make very good bowling balls according to Court.
 Fall color on the porch.
 Leaf art inspired by pinterest. Other than helping her choose three good leaves for chicks and cutting "bumps" for clouds, Luca created this entirely by herself.
 Her fish (I gave input on the tail leaf and small fin, the rest she did herself.)
 What would October be without caramel apples? Especially when the Honeycrisps are on sale. Mmmmmmmmm.
 A caramel covered Honeycrisp apple dipped in white chocolate and rolled in cinnamon and brown sugar makes a girl happy.
 It's also a good thing to surprise a Daddy with.
 And of course, we have to share with all.
 One more pumpkin craft.

Meeting Malcolm

In early October we got to meet Malcolm Oberon Till, our sweet new nephew and cousin. 

Court and Malcolm
 We were initially worried that Court would treat Malcolm with his usual rough exuberance but he was very kind and gentle. Lots of time was spent snuggling and "ooohing" and "aaaahhhhing" over virtually nothing. Babies are so much fun!

 
 Luca got in some ipad time and took advantage of all the extra book-readers available to her.
 
 
 What happens when Mommy sleepily grabs an outfit out of your suitcase and sends you upstairs to Grandma? You end up wearing your little brother's pants.
 Successful family picture!

 Relaxing after all that hard work (and eating a pumpkin of course).
