Here are some pics of what we've been up to so far....
Lots of nature walks! Love the colors this time of year!
Bundled up and enjoying the view!
Apple picking time! I see applesauce, apple butter and pie in my future!
Soup season, yea! Last year I started cooking my way, page by page, from the A Beautiful Bowl of Soup, pictured below. I don't normally eat soup when the weather warms up and stopped cooking right before the recipe Chestnut Soup. This is where I will pick it up so I was pleased to find the chestnuts (pic above) at the farm stand where we went apple picking.
I also plan to start the doing the recipes from the other book, Vegetarian Sandwiches. After all, man can not live by soup alone.....
We did a little clean up of our garden and harvested the brussel sprouts. I don't think K knew what this was. Toy? Food?
And finally..... We have a tradition of putting M in one of my old dresses every year on her birthday. We use the same dress so we have pictures of her growing into it. We planned on doing this with K also so we purchased a dress in China for the occasion. Having the same birth day makes it even more special. Their pictures will now be together in their "birthday dresses". Their birthdays are in June and you'd think once we got home with K in August we'd do this right away. I'm embarrassed to say that we just got to it.
K could not figure out what was going on and it was cold outside.
Trying to walk in an adult size dress was a little challenging.
Posing nicely and getting a good picture was a bigger challenge.
