"Where's Guin Guin?" #3

"I cannot BELIEVE I still can't find him. I have a stick to share and everything!"

"Where's Guin Guin?" #2

"I have no idea where he is!"

"Where's Guin Guin?" #1

"Wait a minute. Where's Guin Guin?"

HIGH ENERGY

Yes, everything Kiran does these days is HIGH ENERGY. And if you're wondering what that stick is on the left side of the picture -- it's a toothbrush. Because that's a totally normal thing to want to run around with in the yard.

Pigtails!

At long last, Kiki's hair is long enough for pigtails!

Londontown

The first three minutes of Kiran at Londontown. Coincidentally, also the only three minutes that did not involve a tantrum.

Messy Fun

I hope this picture makes Mema and Dada happy. This kid is highly skeptical of messy fun.

Picking up Pumpkins

She also tried to pick up pumpkins that weighed at least twice as much as she does.

Pumpkins

Guaranteed to make even the fussiest 18-month old happy.

Melancholy

It has been a rough couple of weeks, but there is now clearly a need to cheer up this household.

Cowgirl

Kiran breaking in her new boots and me breaking in my new lens.

Outfit

I have been having entirely too much fun with sweaters / button downs / plaid skirts this fall. Props to Dada for pairing the All Stars with the school-girl outfit. Love it.

Doorbell

Apple counting came to an abrupt end when Kiran realized -- from across the yard -- that our front door has a doorbell.

Apples V

Awww. No matter how much sugar apples have, they can't be any sweeter than this.

Apples IV

I wasn't previously aware that the sugar in apples was sufficient to induce this effect...

Apples III

Like Schnitzel with stick stick!

Apples II

Kiran was hamming it up tonight, so there will be several apples pictures...

Apples

Counting (and eating) apples.
