Join me during my third year as I start school, learn to ride a bike, and search for "pretty girls with colored toes."

The Long Kiss Goodbye


I will miss you, Clara! Thank goodness you are moving to Nashville! I can still play with you whenever I'm visiting the grandparents at the Ranch. I know your Daddy is closely watching this kiss, but we're little, we can get away with it! Besides, what's a "Going Away Party" without a little action, right? You need something to remember me by. Bet those Southern boys will be too polite to lock lips like this!

Pumpkin Pickin'


Wow, these pumpkin-things must be really important this time of year. They are everywhere in my neighborhood, and now Gram is visiting and the first thing she did is take me to the "country" to find some more of them! We are at Schlagel Farms today in Waldorf, MD. The nice farmer took everyone out to the pumpkin patch on his hay wagon. He offered to let me drive the tractor with him, but it was too noisy, so I declined. Perhaps next year.

Peek-A-Boo!


Anderson and I are spending the morning checking out the cool Halloween stuff at Burke Nursery's Pumpkin Playground. We both survived the scary kitty slide, thank goodness. There are lots of fun vehicles to check out and slides to go down, and some animals in a petting zoo, except you can't pet them or they will nibble your fingers off! The turkey was particularly scary, but after all this is a Halloween fest. Guess the idea is to be a little scared at all times (as if the ride into the Virginia suburbs wasn't nerve-wracking enough). We liked the hayride through the haunted woods best of all. Anderson convinced the Mommies to take us on it twice by pitching a really impressive fit when we tried to get off. Now that was scary! Good job, buddy!

Cat Attack!


Oh no! Gotta get out fast! I thought this was just a tube and a slide, but now I can see that I've been tricked! The big kitty is going to eat me! Maybe if I move fast I can get away. Hope the cat doesn't get Anderson. He's behind me and has no idea what he's in for....

In the Wilderness


Anderson has this neat creek in the park near his house. We've been playing down here all morning. I can't decide what's more fun, throwing rocks at Mommy or watching her leap to get me whenever I try to sit down in the water! Anderson doesn't have his puddle-stompin' boots yet, so he's not allowed to splash in the deep parts, which means he didn't get all wet and muddy like I have! Hope Mommy packed extra clothes today.

3-2-1 BLAST OFF!


AHHHHHHH! Mommy says these rockets could launch any minute! Is she for real? They are much bigger than the one I have at home. They are bigger than cars, or the garbage truck, or the fire engine too. It's really hard for me to get any sense of scale between real forms of transport and my toys. Wonder if there's a Space Dog or a Moon Buggy aboard any of these things? I see some planes at the far, far end of the room. What is this place, some kind of neato building full of flying stuff? Why hasn't anyone brought me here before? This is so much better than the park....
