Finding the Perfect Pumpkin

can be an arduous and encompassing process. The succesful pumpkin-quester must be
skeptical,

tolerant,

easily entertained,

determined,

and open to advice.

Sorry sorry sorry -- things got a little crazy there for a while, but we're settling in. FRD loves nursery "shule" now. Although when you ask him what he does there it sounds a little like a work camp. His favorite responses are "laundry," "cook" and "sweep." His teachers report he does none of these things. Mostly he seems to eat snack, nap, and ride tricycles.

Recently Nana came to visit, bringing all sorts of wonderful presents that earned her the phrase "Nana, stuff." And she and Freddy spent some great time together climbing in tunnels, captaining boats, and other fun activities that you do when your grandmother is visiting. Thanks for the beautiful blanket (which Freddy pats each night, saying "Nana gave you"), beloved Boots, and the adorable Mushroom shirt in FRD's favorite color.

To School

It's not Back to School for FRD, cuz it's his FIRST TIME EVER. Last week wasn't the most tear-free, smooth sailing week in recent memory, but we survived. Here are some shots from the final throes of summer.

Just Freddy being Freddy

Lake, Bees, Waterfall

FRD took a little August family vacay to Lake Lure. It was a beautiful weekend - great views from Chimney Rock, a lovely morning out on the water, and a ball of a time getting covered in yuckies at the beach. A few less yellow jackets and ever-lurking turkey vultures, and it would have been perfect. Of course, Freddy reports that his favorite parts were watching Dora the Explorer in bed and counting the four air conditioning vents in our hotel room. That's our boy!
