We had a picnic lunch on one of the beautiful days this fall.

Picnic-ing at the Hunt Race on Saturday

Silly kids!

The boys got to ride ponies, Anya was worn out and headed home for a nap

The heavy horse race

Becky!

Finished kitchen!!

The kitchen is finished! Hurray! It took four months, but it is most certainly worth it. There are a few decorating touches I want to add; like valances and some baskets on the shelves, but that will come in time. It is a most wonderful kitchen. The new lay out is just as nice as all the new cabinets and counter.

Anya is 2!

Anya turned 2 on Monday. We had a good day and she had a good time. What a fun little girl!

Had to try on the new clothes right away, and sit in the new rocker to open presents.

more new clothes!

this afternoon

This was preluded by Ethan carefully dressing her in her costume and then giving her instructions as to what she was to do. I came into the porch to see her diligently and obediently whacking the screen door!! Keeps it interesting:)
