"That's Enough, Daddy!"

Anna was in rare form tonight. She's usually pretty animated, but tonight she was particularly silly at dinner. Jimmy was being funny cooling his food down, and out of the blue, Anna said, "That's enough, Daddy!" She got a kick out of herself, as you'll see from the video. She then proceeded to crack up as she watched the video about twenty times after that. We sure enjoy our budding comedian!

Fall

We enjoyed a beautiful fall day last Saturday, spending most of the early afternoon with Eric, Melody, and their kids at Young's Jersey dairy in Yellow Springs. Anna and Cate got to feed goats, see cows, pick their own pumpkins, and eat the biggest ice cream cones I've ever seen. It was a great day!







The next three pictures are from this afternoon --- I got to leave work uncharacteristically early and was able to spend an hour exploring a new park by our place. The playground was packed, so Anna and I had fun "climbing trees" and playing in the crunchy leaves. I love this first picture ... it totally captures how Rapunzel is a constant companion. (P.S. I know she's wearing the same outfit ... trust me, I washed it Sunday!)


"Climbing" trees:


This one loaded out of order --- but here is Anna with our pumpkins!

Finally, here's a cute video from our time at the park this afternoon. It's one of the many rather random conversations Anna and I had today. One woman at the park asked me, "Does she always have this much to say?" "Yes," I answered. "Always."
