A Brisk Day on the Lakewalk

Mom took me to canal park on Monday. We walked for 3 miles and then went shopping in all the neat shops down there. We bought Christmas presents for Aunt Shelly and baby Eleanor Beck! I hope they like them!

Tickle Time

Daddy is tickling me! He is not nice! Even though I am laughing, you all know how tickling is torture!!

Hay Ride at Grandpa's Funny Farm

I went for a haunted hay ride at Grandpa and Grandma G's farm on Halloween. It was chilly out but I was bundled up nice and warm. Luckily we went during the daylight so I wouldn't get too scared. I saw ghosts and a cemetery and a beheaded farmer and even a capsized canoe with a leg sticking out from beneath it!

Aunt Jill and Uncle Justin joined us for the hay ride. I had a fun time!!

Packers vs.Vikings

On Sunday we went to Grandpa and Grandma R's house to watch the most exciting game of the season- Vikings vs. Packers. Daddy made sure I was cheering for the Vikings. He was pretty upset when he saw my hand-me-down onsie, so he changed the bib to be anti-Packer. I don't know what the huge interest was in the game when I had the coolest blinking, singing star in front of me. No one seemed too interested but me. Hmmm..

I love the little football on my dupa!!

The Vikings won! Yay!! But that is all just boring football. I wish I could be watching a cross country skiing race instead!

Halloween!!

My first Halloween has come and gone. It was lots of fun! We went to visit my grandparents and trick-or-treated at my Aunt Linda's house. I got to see my cousins all dressed up in their cool costumes. I was so cool that I even had 2 costumes! Check me out!!

My cousin Hannah, a witch, held me for a great picture. Doesn't she look great!? I like her purple hair!

I am a Luke-a-saurus!! Pretty scary right?? I'm coming to get you!

See my sweet spikes all the way down my back!

Happy Halloween!

Finally a fall day without rain or gloom! Mom saw the sun and wisked me out first thing in the morning for a Halloween photoshoot. She obviously didn't seem to mind sitting me in a pile of wet leaves.

Basking in the glorious sun that has made itself present only after 2 straight weeks of cloudiness.

That afternoon, we went on the bike trail for a walk, but you can hardly see the paved trail. It was beautifully covered with leaves. Which was great for me and Mom, but Daddy complained later when he was rollerskiing that the leaves kept getting stuck in his tires.

This is the last walk with leaves on the trees. Now (3 days later) they have all fallen down and it looks like November out there. Or so Mom says. I have yet to experience a Duluth November, but I haven't heard too many good things about them!

October Lounging

Hi everyone! My hand looks freakishly large in this photo, but Mom still though I looked cute, so she is posting it for you all to see. I got this cute hat and onsie from my great Aunty Kathy out in Maryland.

Mom caught me right as I was waking up. This was a great stretch!!

My cousins and Aunt Linda and Uncle Charlie went to Disneyworld this summer and brought me back this totally cool Tigger cap and onsie. Thanks guys, I love it!!

Can you believe it!!??? My first freestand!! Or is it......?
