Clara's really settled in to preschool! She is full of fun stories and loves her friends and teacher. She's learned so many songs, stories, prayers, and has had so many wonderful opportunities to learn through play. We love her school!
We made a visit to Lewiston in September, and helped sell Kaufman corn at the Moscow Farmers market! Their corn tastes amazing, especially RAW!
We had the most glorious weather through September and October. It was even warm enough for Clara to swim!
In late September, Em, Mom, an I tasted our way through the Snake River wine region.
The Kaufmans came to visit Oma and Opa's house, and so did many frogs.
Teenie and I ran the Wine Run 10K at the end of September. I hadn't run a race in about 4.5 years, so it was fun to experience the energy of a race again!
Clara, Grandma Janet and I went to the Botanical Garden Harvest Festival and had a ball! Clara ran through a hay bale maze, painted a pumpkin, went on a hayride, and got her face painted. What a great time!
We whipped up some play dough for Clara's preschool class, and had a little fun playing around with it at home.
Clara made a jet pack and space helmet at school and zoomed around the house for a few days!
We harvested many pumpkins and even a watermelon from our garden. This year's garden was bountiful!
The fall garden looks gorgeous.
And a little overgrown... The start of school always means neglect for the garden.
Clara has her Oma wrapped around her little finger. This summer Clara convinced Oma to buy her an Elsa dress, and this fall she convinced Oma to buy her an Ana dress! Little stinker!
Clara and Grandma Janet went to Boo at the Zoo and had such a fun time! Clara dressed as Ana for this event. Why not use the plethora of costumes for the Halloween season?
We enjoyed a fall hike in the foothills with Oma and Gwen. The colors were stunning and the adventure fun! Clara hiked almost the entire 3 miles by herself!
After the hike, we went to Java to refuel. Clara was invited by a nice gentleman to paint a rock. She loved it and considers the rock very special. It is kept in a "high up" place in her room. Goofy girl!
Fall has been packed full of fun events! It is hard to believe it is the end of October!
