Autumn in Grand Rapids = summer days and giant pumpkins

Hello.

Today was a gorgeous day, temperature in the 70s, not a cloud in the sky... just what you would expect for fall. I guess someone didn't see their shadow.

The ladies and I went to Meijer Garden this morning and had a lovely picnic lunch and then walked to their Replica Farmhouse exhibit to see the giant pumpkins that had been set out. There isn't that much to tell (I can hear the collective "whew," I know you only come for the pictures). Basically we posed Lyla next to pumpkins that were almost the same size as her and watched with enjoyment to see her reactions. We ended up getting a bunch of great photos in the process. Here you go:

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Lyla and I have been enjoying a visit from Kristin! She arrived on Saturday night and we have had some fun and full days. Sunday was church, and then allllllllll afternoon in the garden pulling weeds. Weeds grow very quickly, in case you were wondering. Monday we went to Meijer Gardens for a lovely walk, and then home for naptime for Lyla and a National Treasure marathon for Kristin and me. Today is her last day here (sadly for me and for Lyla). It's been fun to see her interact with Lyla for the first time, plus a huge help to have someone else around. And we've snuck in some good food and (so far) one trip to Jersey Junction.

Lyla is getting bigger by the minute! She is almost done with her brief stint in the Bumbo since she's just about able to squirm out of it. I think her hair is getting curlier, which explains the wild stylings. She squirmed around 180 degrees on her stomach this morning, so we're counting down to crawling too.

Here are a couple of pictures from Meijer Gardens yesterday:
