Fall is here. The days are getting shorter, the
weather is getting crisper, the leaves are falling and pumpkins
are here. We’ve had a few beautiful fall days with
jack-o-lantern carving, raking leaves, and baking pumpkin
bread. I know I’ll be raking as many leaves this year as I did
last year, but I’m hoping to stay on top of the task so it
doesn’t become quite as arduous as it was last year. We’ll see.
We carved pumpkins on Saturday with Alan’s parents. (yeah,
probably won’t last until Halloween, but oh well) Lex drew all
over the pumpkins (and himself and the table) with permanent
marker and took great thrill in the anticipation of putting his
hand into the pumpkin. He wouldn’t actually touch anything
inside, just sort of reached his hand in. Silly boy. Here are
some pictures and a movie.

Friday night. Lex is eating dinner (you
can hear him in the background) and Eve is on the floor. She’s
moving pretty good these days!

Friday night, turned the camera on Lex having
dinner with the raccoon.

All done eating. Time to play. I was hoping
he’d finish the puzzle while I was recording, but he can’t
quite get it. He’s done it once or twice. It’s a tough puzzle,
but a good next step from his other puzzles.
