Lots of firsts today!

 First time in big-girl undies:

First time pushing her own cart at Trader Joe's:

 First Daddy-daugther road-trip to St. Louis:

 "This dinner is really good!"

Does anyone else feel like time is flying by?!?

Music and dance

Pals and pups

After having some friends over at home...

 ...it was off to the mall on a rainy day.  No shoes required!

 Going for a ride in the helicopter...

 ...and on the train with Noah and Magda.

 JUMP!

 Haley was a quiet observer.

 She was more interested in the puppies!

 Look all you want, girls!  Not bringing one of those home any time soon!

Pictures a la Stephie

Daddy assembling a new soap dispenser:

Mommy tying her shoe:

 Haley encouraging Mommy to drink some water:

 CHEEEEESSEEE!

Catching up

A few new puzzles...

Fall clothes...

And dueling train races.

A school project with Daddy...

A great start to fall!

New beds

 Haley's new bed is finally done!  Beautiful headboard and footboard in place.

 Stephie has a fancy new addition to her bed too!

Gym class

Stephie was still feeling a tad under the weather, but she went with Haley to her gymnastics class.

 Need to refuel!  Yogurt is Haley's favorite snack.

 Stephie prefers refried beans.  Yum!
