Model Train Garden
On Friday Mom and I went to the Botanic Gardens with Nana and Pappa G to see the model train garden before it was packed up for the winter. It was incredible. I couldn't take my eyes off the trains and Mom was amazed at how intricate the scenes were. We had a lot of fun. All the fall flowers were blooming and the trees were changing colors -- it was beautiful.
Here are more pictures of the garden and trains!
More Pumpkins!
Danny and I carved pumpkins this week...well, we scooped them out (which was kind of yucky) and then Dilma and Donna took over. Boo!
Good Morning!
"Morning, Bear! Morning, Doggie!"
Pumpkin "carving" 2007
We gathered for our annual pumpkin carving party this weekend, and this year we went to
the Fiorato's. The
Ferraras couldn't make it this year as they are awaiting the arrival of Baby #3 any time now...and without Mrs. Angela to motivate us we slacked off and used stickers instead of carving tools! With the pumpkins out of the way and another hot October day on hand Lydia and Harvey and I had snacks and ran around the yard having a great time playing. The parents were quite challenged to get us all in costumes and organized for a picture, and even resorted to heavy candy bribery, which worked out well for us kids!
See more costumes and play here.
Storm
One evening last week a big storm blew through; Mom snapped these pics off the back deck after dinner.
Train Ride to the city
Last week Dilma took me downtown on the el to see the
Midnight Circus at Daley Plaza! It was my first time on the train and I LOVED it. I waved bye-bye to everyone on the platform and had to stare out the window the whole time. We went with Danny and Donna and Max and Marlene. One of the pictures above is the three of us with Max's mom, Julie. She and Max's dad are the leaders of the circus -- how cool is that?! We had the best day, it took me an hour to wind down in my crib before I could take my nap. I've been saying "train!!" ever since.
Cookie Monster
"Are the cookies done yet?"
"Are they done now?"
"Three minutes takes forever!"
I'm back!
Hi everyone! I'm finally back online! There were "server issues" here at House of Levine and Mom and Dad just took forever to deal with them. Sigh. I am trying my best to learn computers, and I can bang the keyboard very well, but the FTP thing is a little beyond me just yet. Anyway, I had a wonderful summer and had many adventures and I hope you did too. If you want to catch up on some of my escapades, check out this
summer slideshow that has a few shots, including my first carousel ride! The big deal this summer was going to Saugatuck, MI on vacation. I loved it! And that made Mom and Dad happy cause it's one of their favorite places ever. Here we are for
Dad's bday weekend and then we went back for
Labor Day and took long hikes in the woods -- I insisted on being the leader! Come back to my site again soon, Mom promises she's back in action with the pictures.
