Singing

On Sunday morning, Lily was in a singing mood. We caught her singing while she was coloring with Grandma.

Farming with Grandma and Grandpa

On Saturday, Lily took a trip with Grandma and Grandpa to a farm in central New Jersey. Lily had a great time looking at all kinds of different animals and she even got to pet a piglet!

"That's a cow? I've never seen a hairy cow before Grandma!"*

*This is a Highlands Scottish Cow

"This is a cool farm Grandpa!"

"Ducks!"

"I've never pet a piggy before!"

Pumpkin Festival

Today we went with some friends to Butler's Orchard's Fall Festival. Lily enjoyed checking out all the fun "pumpkin people," looking at the chickens and bunnies, playing games, doing art, and of course picking pumpkins!

"Daddy, Linus is here!"

"BOO!"

Lily and Ryan playing the ball toss game.

"I really like this corn box. It's much cleaner then a sand box!"

"Look at our cute pumpkins!"

Lily is a good apple peeler

Saturday we went apple picking with some friends. After nap, Lily helped me make a pie. She was a very good apple peeler!

So much so in fact, that I let her peel a few extra, and the pie looked like this:

Until I moved some of the apples into a baking dish to bake separately.

All Dressed Up for Yom Kippur

Here are some pictures of us all dressed up for Yom Kippur.

Maryland v. Morgan State Football

Saturday was the first football game of the season. Lily enjoyed tailgating before the game with me, Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy, Howie, Beth, Benjamin and Eli. She also loved seeing the band play before the game and clapping when Maryland had a good play.

"I love tailgating!"

"Grandma, what is the band doing now?"

Playing with Cousins

At the family reunion, Lily loved meeting and playing with her cousins. Here are some of the highlights.

"Cousin Naomi, you are a good piano player."

"This is a fun sand pit, Cousin Richard."

"Thank you for doing my nails, Cousin Ryna."

"Cousin Julia, I love arts and crafts!"

"Swinging with Cousins Emily and Julia."
