Autumnal Fun

Our friends, the Eisenhamers, invited us to join them on a trip to a pumpkin patch.

After a long drive out to Valley Center, we were delighted to see this large pumpkin patch. There were hay rides, mule rides, an arts & craft fair, corn maze, live music and vendors.






Miss Jinji was initially unsure about pumpkins; she was unwilling to touch them. Within a short while, she warmed up and was frolicking through the patch. She became particularly attached to an acorn squash.



Here are our trophies from the day.

Jinji Hits the Big 2-0!

That's 2-0 months! She growing faster than we can keep up with. Her language is developing daily; sometimes hourly.




Jinji's Auntie Kathy and Uncle Ronald didn't wait until Christmas to give her this amazing animated horse. Her face lights up with delight everytime she sees it!

Picture Day!

We were all excited about Picture Day at Jinji's school. Mommy found a cute outfit that one of her quilting friends, Joan, gave us. Along with her black MaryJanes, Jinji looked like such a big girl.

Mommy & Daddy comment daily on how much Jinji is growing. She is no longer a baby.


This is Jinji in her class, patiently waiting for the photographers to get ready.
