Visit with Nana After A Beautiful Fall Day

I wanted to make sure I got the Halloween pictures up on the 31st, so here are a couple pictures from earlier. Thursday was a beautiful fall day and we went outside for awhile in the afternoon. Hayley loves playing outside and we are trying to get as much out of these last warm days as possible. I raked the leaves into a big pile and tried getting her to play in them for some "picture perfect" poses, but she was just not having it. But I still managed to get some really cute pictures.









Dave's mom was in town, well, in New Hampshire staying with Deb and Keith, so we headed up there for the day on Friday to visit with them (and take home a ton of toys and hand me downs). Josie came too, of course, and Brett had a great time telling every adult that Josie stole a mini hot dog off of the table. She is so naughty! Besides that, it was a beautiful day so we got to go out side and play on Brett's play scape, which is new to us since we hadn't seen it before. Hayley loved the slide and went up and down and up and down, over and over and over again. Hayley hates sleeping in the car, so we tried a nap before we left, which didn't happen, so therefore she hadn't napped all day. At about 3:30 she had had enough and started falling apart. I took her into Brett's room and played some lullaby music and lied her on his bed. I rubbed her back and her head for about 10 minutes and out she went. She looked so adorable lying there! I went to the door to check on her after about 45 minutes and she was standing up, off the bed, at the door, getting ready to come on out. She is so smart, and getting so big! It just shocks me every time she does a "big girl" thing. She got along great with Brett and Deb, but still is a bit shy with Nana. We're hoping when we go to California she'll warm to her since we'll all be together for 5 days in a row.















Here is a video of Hayley going down the slide:
