Backtrackin: Pumpkin Patch


Annie has a ton of pictures on her camera that need to get posted and some go waaaaay back into late summer. Its almost winter now. Most of these pics are coming from October and that month really flew by. Here we are already in November with the daylight savings shift coming up, my least favorite time of the year. Why? In these latitudes children are destined to go to school in the dark and come home in the dark whether you shift the day an hour in either direction. Lets get on board with the forward thinking States and boycott it -- tomorrow is election day, lets get this one on the ballot!

Kian has been a super-stinker the past couple of months, of course he is two now so that comes with the territory, we're told. He's in daycare now and learning all kinds of tricks, and every day he comes home with new way of expressing himself: often new words, sometimes new means of manipulation. Otherwise he's doing great and physically he has caught up: he's finally reached the thirty/thirty club (30-lbs/30-inches) and he's above the 50th percentile in both of those.



It began as a super foggy morning but it all burned off and was fabulous for the rest of the day. We were up north of the city with Mari and her kids and we picked out a few pumpkins, rode a tractor-train and then went for a hayride.


One of Kian's favorite things right now is trains, he's really really into trains, and so about once a week we'll hike down Jackson Street to the "tube" and we'll hop the light rail into the city, and back, and forth, until he's happy... or I've had enough which, so far, comes first.




Not sure whats going on in this picture but it looks
compelling enough. Poor little guy has had his share
of nagging ailments last month.
