Halloween

Morgan's first Trick or Treating with her best friend Raggedy Ann

I am SO ready!

Morgan was just short of pounding her cutlery on the table, "I am so ready to eat!"

Almost a year...

We are getting ready to inter my mom at Fort Snelling. Morgan and I painted a box to be buried.

Early October Weather

October 4!
The last time we saw snow this early was in Alaska!

I took the thermometer pic on May 18!
It will be interesting to see what winter will be...

She riding her bike!

 We started Morgan on a Strider balance bike a year and a half ago, she rode it off and on through the summer and fall - then 10 months off for winter and she rode it a few times this summer. The end of August we gently pushed her into to riding her 'big-girl' bike that has NO training wheels. She and Jim have gone out in the afternoons - usually once a week to practice. This is where she's at as of the end of September. I am totally SOLD on kids learning to ride this way! Morgan even gave her strider to one of her teacher's daughter's in celebration of her being so good at riding a bike!

The first video was shot last summer



And here she is now
