We started out with a pumpkin this evening. First I tried to stand on it.

Then I tried to eat the stem.
Then I tried to eat the inside.
And waaalaa! We ended up with a jack-o-lantern!

Move Over Beethoven!

Look at what I can stack!

Last Weekend

While Grandma was getting ready for her role in a relay at the local farmers' market, I got to play with puppies!

Celebrating my first birthday for the third time. This time it was a double party with Grandpa.

We visited a pumpkin farm.

And I got to ride in a wagon!

Daddy and I mooed at the cows.

Statues

Leaving, on a jet plane...

Those of you who know my dad, know how passionate he is about airplanes. Anyone who's traveled with him knows there's nothing that can stand in the way between him and the window seat. Looks like now he'll have some competition! I LOVED looking out the window of the airplane, in the air and on the ground.

Family Vacation - Part 3

For phase 3 of our trip, we met my West Coast family on the East Coast! Down the coast we went, courtesy of Amtrak, to Washington, DC, for Michael's wedding (Mom's cousin). It was a beautiful wedding, and we like our new cousin-in-law, Jennifer, very much. In addition to the festivities, we took in the sites with Grandma and Grandpa.

Climbing the Capitol steps.

While Mom, Dad, and Grandma watched the House hearings on the bailout bill, Grandpa and I made friends with several Capitol police officers. They made me an honorary member of their precinct and gave me my own badge!

On the mall.

With Grandma at the WWII memorial, with the Lincoln memorial in the background.

I climbed most of the steps up to the Lincoln memorial all by myself!

We tried to meet George, but he was busy trying to pass the bailout bill.

Strolling around the Tidal Basin (Jefferson memorial in the background).

All in all, I took DC by storm!

Family Vacation - Part 2

For phase 2 of our trip, we went to Uncle Keith and Aunt Amanda's house in New Jersey. Uncle Keith took us to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I loved the boat rides. I also liked chasing seagulls.

Family Vacation - Part 1

We just got back from a two-week vacation. It was so fun that I'm going to blog in installments! During phase I of our trip, we visited Oma and Grandpa in Rhode Island. I got to meet all of my East Coast family. They sure know how to have a good time! We rode on a boat, toured a mansion, ate lobster, and had a party. Here are some pictures to enjoy. Stay tuned for Part 2!
