Wrapping Up September

September 30th, Nina sure can be happy at times. On the other hand, she sure can cry when she wants to! See this image larger.

Let’s take a moment and think about her in the sun room having this sunny moment! See this image larger.

Mmm hmm! See this image larger.

Alright then, back to your regularly scheduled less-cheery-than-this activities! See this image larger.

*Ride ’em cow-kids!* See this image larger.

Ian tries on some cool sunglasses at Target. See this image larger.

See, they um… they flip down. Pretty awesome. See this image larger.

At school, our little Nina made this for Ian. What a nice girl! See this image larger.

We bid the crib adieu, but yanked out the mattress so that Nina would have a familiar surface to sleep on. She chose the floor instead. I have other pictures in this set… she created a “road” out of books and ended up sleeping in some pretty bizarre positions. We’ll miss you crib! I still remember wheeling it down the middle of the street after purchasing it from a garage sale, before we had told any of the neighbors that Ian was in the works. “Nothing to see here! Carry on!” See this image larger.

Some of the kids from Ian’s class gathered in the leaves. Fare thee well, September! See this image larger.

Life is a Ride, Like Days on a Train

September 29th, why the great big hugs, you ask? Because “we’re going on a traaaaaain!” See this image larger.

Waiting in line to hop on the train! See this image larger.

“All aboooaaard!” See this image larger.

The excitement was palpable! See this image larger.

Nina, resplendent in a strawberry band-aid, expresses a deep-seated need to begin the journey. See this image larger.

By this time, we’ve waited too long, and it is time to do goofy things like try on Daddy’s sunglasses… because, well, what the heck else would there be to do? See this image larger.

Nina tried them on too! See this image larger.

Lighting is so important to a good picture! See this image larger.

Ticket punched, here we go! See this image larger.

Eventually some odd characters showed up and started dancing around in our train car. Ian’s reaction: Enchanted. See this image larger.

Nina’s reaction: Concerned. See this image larger.

Halfway through the trip, they just move the engine to the opposite end of the train, and go back the way we came. By now, teenagers on the train have begun texting their friends with things like “OMG I M SO TOTALLY BORD, DOOD.” See this image larger.

Ian shares a wave with the engineer. I was assured his name was not Choo-Choo Charlie. See this image larger.

Love the wispy bangs in this shot! See this image larger.

Pretty smile from Mommy. See this image larger.

Nina enjoying a slight tickle. See this image larger.

Ok, seriously enjoying said tickle. See this image larger.

A random scene from along the tracks. See this image larger.

Our journey complete, I made the kids stare into the sun so that I could take their picture next to the train. See this image larger.

We received a pumpkin each, as a bonus! See this image larger.
