Great-Grandma Tressa Johnson

My great-grandma died this week. She was a wonderful person who lived a long life. 104 years and 10 days. She was sharp as a whip until the end, belived in eating at least one fruit and vegtable a day, plus a glass of milk. Emily probably got her red hair from Tressa, even though it has been white all of my life! I think we can all be inspired by her life. I am glad I had the chance to know her.

Greatest Picture thus Far

This has to be the best picture our camera has taken yet. Robert is so handsome and Emily is too cute!

Fall Festival

We spent Sunday evening helping and enjoying our church's Fall Festival. I think it was a big hit with Emily. We went down the slide with her a couple of times. I got my hair "done". Emily watched the Praise Puppets, she loves them, they sing and dance. She requested more after each act. I helped with an "Apple Bobbing" booth. Did you know that actually bobbing for apples is against health codes, so we use paper water.

Pumpkins!

We ate a pumpkin and carved some pumpkins. HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

Playing Catch

A new game we started playing, I think it would be fun in the pool as well!

HUG

Emily likes to hug her baby

Cookie's for Fall

I have spent Emily's afternoon nap today icing cookies. I envy many cooking blogs, how they precisely take pictures of each step, adding fun baking quips along the way. I can't seem to find my camera until the end... I made some sugar and gingerbread cookies for the Fall Festival Cake Walk, treats for Robert's class on Monday and a couple for us to eat. Maybe they will let Emily crawl in the cake walk so she can bring home more treats! Above we have gingerbread mummys, ghosts and pumpkins.
