Little Miss Mae's First Joke

The girls were invited to a birthday party at the park.  Before the party this morning, Little Miss Mae came up with a joke on her talker:  "What do you call a birthday at a park?.......A birthday park-dee."   We thought it was pretty cute. 
K-Rae is giving the birthday girl a little moral support with her candles!

Fall beauty: Maroon Bells

Maroon Bells, near Aspen, CO: Oct. 2, 2011
I'm pretty convinced we had a picnic in the most beautiful place that anyone in the world could have been picnicing at yesterday.

I've been here probably more than a dozen times, but Maroon Bells never loses it's "awe" for me.  Beautiful anytime of year, but simply spectacular in the fall.
Loving the leaves!
Same place....one year ago.
This is the view almost opposite of the Bells....just as stunning, in my opinion!
And here's that baby bump shot, for those of you wondering how the little one is coming along.  Happy Fall!
