The Ranch

Marley had her first trip to the ranch for the annual pheasant hunting gathering. She loved being out in the beautiful fields and playing with all the rocks. It was a great trip, even though Marley came down with a little cold.

Fall Fun

Marley is having a blast with the new season. She runs almost everywhere she goes and has become quite the talker. I think my favorite new word she says is "balloon" which sounds more like "bluhbluhbluhbluh." She is curious about everything and likes to repeat words you say. She has started "singing" along with her favorite songs and it is so precious. I love how friendly she is; she says "hi" to everything from people to animals to passing cars.

For those of you who didn't know, I started a new job in Duarte USD in mid September and am really enjoying counseling at the Junior High level. Although the commute is long and it is hard being away from Marley full time, the staff is wonderful and I am blessed to be employed in this uncertain economy. Here are some pictures of the season:

Swim lessons!

Marley sleeps with her booty up in the air, but somehow she managed to get her blankee on her back in the middle of the night too!

Pumpkin patch fun

Marley dressed up as a bear for our church Harvest Fair, but she thought it was a dog and went around saying "Arf" all night. I dressed as Marley in onsie pajamas and so she was my teddy bear.
