My Favorite Season

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.--- Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is hard to believe that October is almost over. This month marks six months since Juliana has been home. I can’t image a time that she wasn’t here. She is such a joy to everyone who meets her~ you just can ‘t spend time with her without leaving with a smile. She has such an amazing spirit and an abundance of energy. Every week, she surprises all of us with her new found tricks, skills she has accomplished and funny antics. She has refined her climbing ability~ this month she has escaped out of her crib, almost made it to the top of her dresser using the drawer pulls as a foothold, started up her changing table and mastered the stairs. This is from the “tiny little peanut” who is barely making the growth charts. One thing you can say about her is ~ don't let her size fool you! She still has a never-ending supply of energy that exhausts all who watch her. But boy, is she cute!! She also has the best sense of humor and loves to have fun and laugh.
Last weekend, we (along with Aunt Karen, Zeke, Kaleigh and Grandmom) went to Duffield’s for a hayride and pumpkin picking. It was a beautiful fall day and we had a great time. I am posting pictures from that day. We are looking forward to Halloween and hopefully it won’t rain. This weekend is our last swim class. It is hard to get up early to go swimming when it is cold out. I think we will do a gymnastics class for the winter.
I have always said that I can't wait for her to talk (I know, I will regret saying that one day). Well, she now can say apple and Jackson. Yes, Jackson...it is a boy in her room at daycare that she fancies. What is worse is that she says it and smiles. Oh ok, I need to have more talks with her about playing harder to get....first it's Henry, then Milo, now Jackson. I think I still have a good 14 years!

Anyway, right now my life is filled with toys, books, alot of laughter and even more love..... It doesn't get any better than that!!!!

I will post Halloween pictures when I can. Bet you can't guess what she will be??
