Smiles for days around here. I'm not sure when Harper became a little girl, but, alas, she is not a baby anymore.

But I do have this smiley baby boy, so I can deal. I guess...

Harper, in true "Miss Independent" form, is trying to potty train herself. I'm not complaining. I'm just wondering where she learned to bring reading material with her...

Cy is never happier than when he's given a bowl of peas to inhale. It's the simple things in life, you know.

Our family visit to the pumpkin patch yielded much delight and two tiny pumpkins. 

Harper, as usual, did not want to pose for pictures. So Cy became our model and he obviously has a knack for it. 

Happy Fall everyone!

Jake was out of town last week, so these pictures represent my sanity. Good friends taking the bed head beauty for breakfast and baths. But we were all glad when Jake came back!

"Fall" days at the park are the best! Swings, slides, and very little sweating. A winning combination, in our opinion.

Cy discovers his reflection in the oven. Waving and excitement ensues. He knows he's cute.

My brave girl. She walked into a room of bounces houses and picked the biggest one to try first. I love that about her.

My boy is a clapping fool. It was his new favorite skill until he started pulling up on everything...

Last week Jake had the smart idea to get a bicycle with a seat for the kids. And Harper could not be more thankful. She loves going on bike rides with dad and wearing her helmet. 

ICYMI, I have an 8 month old... I'm not sure who gave Cy permission to grow up, but he certainly is.
