Lunchtime Conversations

Anna at lunch yesterday ("Maw" is Grandma Blaze and "Baw Baw" is Grandpa Blaze): "Maw is my mommy and Baw Baw is my daddy."

I reply: "Really? What about me? I'm your mommy and daddy's your daddy, right?"

Anna: "Well.....(very dragged out and in deep thought) Maw is my old mommy and Baw Baw is my old daddy."


And today at lunch ----

We were discussing what would happen if we have another baby (no we're not pregnant yet but we do want more). I was talking about how we would need to put another carseat in the backseat or maybe we would have to get a van.

Anna's reply: "I would like a van. I want a minivan. (Then her eyes got really big and excited and she continued) I want Minnie on it AND Mickey AND Daisy!"

I love these sweet everyday conversations. Who knew that all this time Anna heard the term minivan, she thought it was a MINNIE van?! ha ha ha :)
Autumn

That season between summer and winter...sometimes exists in northern Kentucky, sometimes gets lost. We were fortunate to have many warm, summer days (70 degrees) all the way up until last week which meant tons of opportunity to still be outside. That's good for us because a typical day at our house is: wake up, eat breakfast, leave the house to play outside and then return in time for nap somewhere between 1:00 and 2:00. When it's warm, you will find us outside whether at the zoo, a park or our yard. And now that it's starting to get cold, my rule is that we will be out there, even if for an hour, if it's 38 degrees or warmer. It's too much to be stuck indoors all day. So here is a photo recap from our day-to-day adventures over the last few months.

A trip to the zoo with our good friend Katie.

We love to play at the Cincinnati Nature Center!



Just relaxing for a ride around the neighborhood.
We got to have a live playdate with our friends Charlotte and Becky (and Grandma Susan) when they came home from Texas for a long weekend in September. Yay!


Eating one of our many picnic lunches at a park.


Enjoying the deck and the pond with daddy.
