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.

Rainy day

Kiran sporting her raincoat and holding her duckie.

Ooh, acorns...

So much for Henrietta.

Twins

Kiran and Henrietta.

Security detail

Kiran and her security detail. The Obama girls have nothing on this.

Mia Hamm

The next Mia Hamm. Though she'll probably have to work on the handball thing.

Reverse psychology

Kiran has been refusing to wear headbands for months now, and I finally had enough. So, I put a headband on Guinness and told Kiran that headbands were ONLY for dogs, and absolutely NOT for little girls. Within thirty seconds, she was stamping her feet and begging to wear the headband. Mission accomplished.

Dizzy

A little dizzy post-twirl. :-)

Twirl

A little twirl for Dada's girl!

DADA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Richard coming home from work is the best part of both of their days.
