photo odds and ends

Here are a few pictures from the last couple months that have been sitting around collecting proverbial dust:

it's a tough life.

Saturday Oct. 3rd Evyn had a birthday party to attend. Afterward, we visited Aunt Chris, then went to the New Holland fair for yummy street-vendor food. With days like this, who wouldn't want to be a kid again?

The birthday party was held at Positive Fitness. Evyn's friend Sophia was celebrating turning 5, and her sister Ana was celebrating her 7th birthday. Check out the pictures of the kids in this post about last year's party... can't believe how much they have grown. (the gym has a policy against flash photography, so forgive the blurry pictures)


The kids' instructor (orange shirt) was a lot of fun. I learned he had a role in a film due out next year, The Last Airbender. Check out the trailer, it looks like a great movie! We're looking forward to seeing it.









Evyn only rode one ride at the fair, with her friends Ryan and Carley... unlike last year, where she rode every ride she could! After that, all she was interested in was her purple cotton candy.

parade & mud pies

Wednesday 9/30 we took in the parade at the New Holland Fair with the C's and Aunt Chris. Andrew slept snuggled up with Chris, even as tractor-trailers honked their horns and marching bands passed by.






On a recent warm afternoon, Evyn decided to mix up some mud and make mud pies.


What I didn't know, until a couple days later, was that she decorated our patio while she was at it:
