Oh now I see, now I understand.

The penguin made you do it!

Smiles and school days

A sampling of fall smiles and fall styles (including her school lunchbox)

You know how there are some people who really know how to celebrate?!

We think Leah is one of those.

Here she is at her friend, Mia's recent birthday party.

Leah's first Radio City Music Hall visit! Yo Gabba Gabba: October 2, 2010

Dancing before the show starts

The show!!

C'mon! How am I supposed to concentrate?!

Mom's at work today and thinking about Leah who's at her first full-day of pre-school. Morning, lunch, nap, and activities! (music and photo project today, if you must know)

The whole she-bang.

This photo popped into her head and she thought, "How am I expected to get anything done today when THIS is who I hang with when I am not at the office?!"

Am I right?!

Visiting a new town.

At the end of July, Leah and Mom went up to Connecticut to visit friends - Eliza and Lewis. We went blueberry picking and spent time wading in the kiddie pool in the driveway. We were rural AND suburban!!

Above is from our Summer 2009 visit.

Summer 2010 - Three in the back

Let's go!!

So, wait, let me get this straight. I am supposed to pick these, NOT eat them and put them in the bucket? I don't understand.

Eliza, Leah and Lewis:
"No blueberry too blue for us to pick."
Or "Will pick blueberries for food (or for blueberries!)"

Sunny days. . .

The clouds were definitely kept away yesterday when Leah, Dad and Mom visited Sesame Place!!

Waiting to get into the gates
to meet Cookie Monster, Abby Cadaby and friends for breakfast.

We're in! We're in and on our way!

C is for a calm, cool, and collected Leah
as she met her favorite characters (aka ALL of them!)

Ernie but where's his rubber duckie?

Bert. No signs of Bernice, the pigeon anywhere. It would have been kinda gross if she'd had joined us for breakfast, anyway. Coo.

Sitting down to have a talk with Cookie (formerly known as Num-Num).
No cookies to be seen (for him to steal) , thank goodness, or
we would not have been as friendly.

Big Bird was dressed formal for the occasion for some reason. Well, in the Bird's case it's better to be over dressed than under dressed
otherwise he would have been naked!

It's so sunny on Sesame Street, Leah even likes the carousel here!
