First Trip to the Beach




ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA

On November 12th, Papaw took Adelyn and I on a trip to the beach. We had three beautiful 87 degree days while we were there. Adelyn loved the beach! We returned home to 40 degree weather. Oh, how I miss the sun.

WARM FALL DAYS



Adelyn and Mommy tried to make the best of these last days with above average temps. As you can see, we painted (sporting her favorite sunglasses from Aunt Kim), and then went to Henry's Ark in Prospect. Adelyn loves to be outside. Almost every morning she asks to go "outside for minute." If I tell her it's too cold she says "jacket on, Mom." So much for outsmarting her!

Adelyn's First Halloween

Happy Halloween from Adelyn & Butterbean!



We started celebrating at the Louisville Zoo 2 weeks before Halloween. It was great because there weren't alot of scary things/costumes. Adelyn picked up quick that treats were being given out along the halloween path. We took the "Headless Horseman Trainride" which was scary but we just kept saying "look at the horsey." I don't think she even noticed that he didn't have a head.
Our lil ladybug wore her wings out this halloween. It was a wonderful surprise that Daddy made it home in time to be with us. Don returned home from Germany as we were walking through the neighborhood trick-or-treating. He joined up with us to enjoy the rest of the night. (Thanks, Daddy....I know you were exhausted!)
We wondered if Adelyn would be afraid of all the costumes, but after getting treats from the first few houses, she didn't seem to mind. Mom has been a little strict (ok....very strict) about not giving Adelyn alot of candy. She was very under weight and we had to ensure that most everything she consumed was nutrient rich. But after halloween, she has finally discovered that the "ball on the stick" is actually something you eat. Bless her heart!

Our first stop was at our neighbors Halloween party (before all the treats).
