We sort of missed Autumn…
OK, it’s obviously way past Halloween, but I really wanted to post this snapshot of Leo in his costume carrying his little pumpkin. (If you were stumped, it’s a turtle costume, complete with a little shell velcroed on the back.) He was very excited about having his own pumpkin. We had brought some pumpkins home about a week earlier, and he quickly established ownership over the one that he could lift. Several times a day he would lift the pumpkin from the shelf it was resting on, carry it across the living room, carefully set it down on the file cabinet next to the stereo, and step back with a satisfied grin. Then a little while later he’d carry it back to the shelf.
Well, it’s been an exhausting Autumn for us and we’re looking forward to some relaxing downtime during December holiday season. Here’s a very belated “Happy Halloween”, and a somewhat less belated “Happy Thanksgiving” too!
