I mentioned Jillian’s party here, and alluded to the fact that Nora had already taken off most of her costume. Here it is in all its charmingly hand-painted glory. Since the lantern (much like the real Saturn) doesn’t have arm holes, Nora talked a lot of other party guests into feeding her apple slices.

Bonus photos: Blake as Jupiter (our largest planet, Nora unfortunately not included for scale) and Sarah as Dippin’ Dots (ice cream of the future).

A new haircut and a giant pile of fall leaves.

My dad gave Nora a pumpkin from his garden, and she has to go out to the porch to pat it every day.
“Pup! Pup! Pup!”

Who doesn’t like to give their tummy a little scratch while vegging out in front of the computer?
