A Fall Field Trip

Friday was Simone's school's annual field trip to Cox Farm Fall Festival. This year daddy did the chaperoning, and they had a great time. Daddy did his best at getting some pictures, so I've tried to pick the best ones.










You can really see how tall she has gotten and how long her legs are in these shots. She goes for her annual well visit next week, but our unofficial height measurement is 42".














Happy Birthday Simone!

It is mindblowing to think that Simone actually turned FOUR YEARS OLD. Sigh... incredible. We are grateful that she reached this milestone a happy, healthy, little girl who could not be more loved. To us, however, she is and will always be our baby girl.

To mark the occasion we spent an evening of Simone's design. For her birthday present, Simone wanted a pet. We settled on a fish. So after cupcakes and giftbags at school, we picked her up and headed to the pet store where she picked a small tank and a bright blue beta (which incidentally lived one day. we're now on fish #2).

The second part of her gift was an evening at the circus. Beforehand, we went for a birthday dinner at the Cheesecake factory. Simone had her favorites --chicken soup and broccoli.




And then to the big show...


Simone sat through the entire 2 hour show and only a few times became a little disinterested. But without a doubt, her favorite part was.....the COTTON CANDY.
