My Ladybug

Lydia's costume from last year still fits her. Since we still don't know what she's going to be this year, I've been putting last year's ladybug outfit on her for fun. She loves it!

Say Cheese!

We're working on the whole smiling for the camera thing.

Lydia loves to say "cheese," but she still hasn't figured out how to look at the camera while saying so.



She IS getting pretty good at keeping her body towards the camera. That's something, at least.



And every now and then, we are finally lucky enough to get a smile and a face at the camera.

It's Cold

We headed up to the mountains this past week to view some some leaf color changeage, but were greeted by this.



Snow. In October. The BEGINNING of October, mind you.

We did see some pretty colors through our frosted eyelashes.



And we certainly did enjoy our walk alongside the creek.



But it pained me to dress my child so...



...when only a week ago, we were traipsing through the mountains feeling quite comfortable in simple long sleeve t-shirts.



And instead of watching her innocently play with leaves as I did last week, I had to fear the dangers of frostbite as she played with snow. (Yes, dramatics awards go to ME).



Oh cursed cold weather.
