Naomi's First Lost Tooth!

Naomi lost her first tooth yesterday, pulling it out herself after eating a wild apple. She surprised herself and her mother! What a brave girl
The tooth fairy brought Naomi a note of greeting and a dollar bill. She was showing our ants in the ant farm her new gap
Good morning Jack o' lantern girl

First day of school

Today, Olivia started 3rd grade and Naomi, 1st.
The girls pose on the porch, as it is raining hard!
Olivia will be nine in November
Nervous, excited, we can't decide how we feel
Here's a shot our new house, as well

Chloe's prettiest leaf find
More pitcher plant, apparently there are tons of sundews as well, but their season has peaked

Nature Preserve

On Saturday, we took the girls to this nature preserve and walked in the cool fall air enjoying the greenery.
A pitcher plant, with a spider in residence.
The bog, shaped like a bowl with a thick blanket of moss and blueberries ringing the water.
Geneva and the girls pose.
Classic self-portrait of mom and daughter.
