Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch

We found a great pumpkin patch just out of town! It was a beautiful fall day and we had a great time picking out our pumpkins!

Here are a bunch of pictures.

Family Haircut Day

Well, we knew this day would come. Maya and Danny needed haircuts and Fin decided that it was time to assert her authority with regard to her hairstyle. So...Fin got a haircut too. A big haircut.


Fin before

A little pre-cut book reading time.

Fin in the chair

The first length. (I was fine with this but Miss Finley said, "Still too long!")

So we ended up here!!!!

Where did my baby go?!?!

Profile!

Sisters together!

And Maya got cleaned up for pictures on Tuesday too!

Boot Freedom?

Today was Maya's 4 week check-up on her foot. The good news is that the metatarsal has healed. The bad news is a tendon is pulling on the growth plate. So...we go back in 2 weeks for another x-ray. Maya (and Mom and Dad) were pretty bummed. You could see the disappointment wash over her face and then she got very brave. Sweet thing. But then at bedtime she started to cry because she just wanted to rollerblade to Finley's school.

Here's hoping to being released from the boot on October 18th!

First Snow

It made for a cold morning at the bus stop!

It is Fin's favorite hair-do these days! Here's a picture of her and her favorite "do" with Maya and Henry!
