Lil' Halloween

If you look on the blog in October of 2008 you can see Syd in the same outfit. I think this time Annaliese will prevail and actually wear the dragon costume. It's way too cute and Liese seems to like it much more than Syd did.

Halloween

Last week Syd went to a pumpkin patch and fall festival with my Mom and I. There was an area that had pony rides for the kids and she was enamored with the ponies. Thankfully she didn't ask to ride them that day, but she did say that she wanted to be a pony for Halloween, then she clarified that she wanted to ride a pony for Halloween. (shoot) This week we were shopping at Target, and wouldn't you know it, they had a pony costume. Of course I had to get it.


The second part to this story is that tonight we had our friends Ronnie and Becca over for dinner. Syd was playing with them and showing them her room, and her costume, and when asked what the pony's name was, she said "Horse."
Awesome!

Still Funny

A couple of nights ago in the bath Syd was squirting Dave's teeth with water from her bath toys and cracking herself up about it. So much so that she wanted me to come into the bathroom to show me. So while I'm there, Dave asks her why she's laughing so hard, she sits back and says, "because it's funny." That got a huge laugh out of me. She knows what's funny, don't be so surprised.

The family

Lately when Dave and Syd and I hug, she says, "My family. And Annaliese."
Here we are in August in Pebble Beach. Thanks to Molly and Brian for the great pics.
