Yaya and Grandpa Visit

I'm several weeks late but in late October Yaya and Grandpa John and their 4 dogs came to visit for a few days.  We had a nice few days together.  Sara was much more crabby and needy than normal so while we wish they got to visit with the usually happy Sara, Ellis and I were grateful to have extra hands around.  Plus grandparents think your great no matter what.

 We think Sara might have fussy because she was teething.  She enjoyed some time sucking on the cool granite




Grandpa and Sara spent several hours reading her new cloth book.  She love that book.  Thanks Yaya

All 6 dogs made themselves quite at home. 

The dog cousins enjoyed some chase and started a mini landslide on the hike

We enjoyed a beautiful fall walk with all the changing leaves

 Sara and Mom

Grandpa and Sara switched hats for the hike.  What a grandpa won't do for the amusement of a grandkid


Bath time

And since I'm so late, one photo from Halloween.  Sara was a Strawberry.

Fall

I haven't been very good at updating the blog lately so this post will be a bit of a catch up of the last month.  So here goes...

Sara hung out with her buddy Johnny who was born in August but is almost the same size.
 
Sara discovered the fun of toys.  Her cousin Caroline sent her this one as she loved it too.

 
Sara watched some football

 
and ate some wings and drank beer...oh wait just milk

 
Sara got a new Colorado sweatshirt so she could support the right team and not wear that embarrassing Oregon State hat anymore

 
Sara learned to roll over and now uses it to roll across the room. Moxie is her tummy time coach and often lies down with her


 
We took some naps

 
We went with our friends to the fall fest and grabbed a few photos of Sara and Rex.  For a 2 year old and a 5 month old they were pretty cooperative

 
 Sara learned to read...ok just learned to flip the pages of her favorite cloth book
 
 
Sara got a new clothes to prepared for winter.  She is ready to be a snow bunny
 
And of course we took lots of family walks. Its really fall her now
