October/November catchup


Wow, October and November have flown by and my mom hasn't helped me with a real blog update in a long time. She keeps talking about how busy she is at work.

We did manage to have some fun. We went to a couple of Pumpkin patches. First we went to one with my school. Nothing says crisp, autumn weather like a yellow sundress...it was hot!

So many pumpkins from which to choose
Picking out my pumpkin:
It is heavier than it looks
Look mom, hay
ew, you want me to touch it?
mom, daddy is making me touch it
looking at the baby goats. Pure happiness
I need a wagon to help carry my little pumpkins
We also went to the Roche Pumpkin Patch where I found a perfect pumpkin as well. It was right at the entrance of the pumpkin patch

I spent some quality time with my gene donor, dad. Some people think we resemble each other
Dad also took me inside of the bounce house. Fun
And Olivia and I solved all the world's problems over sippies of water
I had some important business to attend on one day. I drew a picture for Nona for her birthday. I promise i got just as much crayon on the paper as I got in my mouth. Crayons are yummy

October was just weird, in terms of weather. It was also really cold on a few days. Here I am at Emma's 2nd birthday party, in a wool sweater and in a jacket
Eating strawberries for the first time:
Swinging with Olivia
There will be more blog updates soon as Thanksgiving is on the horizon

One last thing, we are moving to New Jersey. i am scared!

Barack the Vote

get out and vote

Mommy: "Elena, who are you voting for?"
Elena: "O-mama" 
Mom, leave me alone, I have to make some political Obama calls
seriously.  This campaign can use my cuteness.  we can't get complacent

Are we headed to the polls yet?Mom, I am getting worried, is there going to be a line?



That way to voting booth
let's go.  I'll bring the snacks


Excited about our civic duty, that i can't keep still

Did I make my point.  Go out and vote, especially if it is for Obama.

PS For those in California, vote NO on Proposition 8.  Stop discrimination

Chocolate and peanut butter combined...2 forbidden foods.  they taste so good
