Image Potpourri
These are from all over the place, partially because I don’t download Melissa’s camera enough. I went to get some pictures off of it and discovered a few gems I had missed! But before we get to those, I wanted to show you this great image taken on his class picture day…
I got rid of a little drool, but otherwise this is how it showed up out of the camera. I think it is a nice shot, and I like Ian’s look. He looks kind of dapper and cocky at the same time “Hey ladies, go for a spin in my wagon?” Taken around October 20.See this image larger.
And then there’s this one… See this image larger.
Under less shaky circumstances, this is a perfect shot… but I had to share anyway because it is a cute one! (This is one of the shots from Melissa’s camera taken back on September 1st. See this image larger.
Another good one from Ma’s camera around that same date, you can never get too much peek-a-boo, even when you know the boo is coming! See this image larger.
Ian pauses to catch his breath and laugh while running from crawling Gramma Barb! See this image larger.
The rest of these are taken from our annual trip down the farm from which we are sold a half-share of vegetables every Wednesday. This event happened on the 18th of October.
Love this shot of Ma… she’s so beautiful! I like the way their outfits kind of work together as well. See this image larger.
Ian carefully eyeballs the coming terrain on our “go grab a pumpkin” hay-ride, while Ma and Da pose for a quick family self-portrait. See this image larger.
This will give you an idea of what the even is like… long rows of tables and a barn with lots of food… and something you can’t tell from this picture — it gets dark quick. There’s also a cool band called the Blue Water Ramblers that plays folksy music that had Ian swaying around and tapping his toes. Lots of Obama bumper stickers, and hybrid cars.

Happily swinging along! Something I want to point out that happened several times during this event: Ian is still such a… innocent, sharing little boy. I mean, he was walking up to kids a year or two older than him and offering them toys so they could play together. Most kind of shied away from Ian, kind of scared by how happy the company of other kids makes him. He’s a very social boy! I admit I walked out of there with mixed feelings — are we hurting him keeping him out of daycare two days a week? How soon should we be talking about a little brother or sister?
