Where Does Time Go?

Somehow time is flying by, and I haven't even had time to post pictures or update on here.

I've got pictures from the Open House that the OSU Farms had and we attended, but the network drive isn't on so I'll have to wait until later to upload them. We've been so busy. I can't even say how many hours a week I'm working.

We fly to DC for one of my lovely meetings this coming weekend. I'll be there Thursday night late through Sunday around noon-ish. Joe and Emma are coming with me -- I'm away from my little girl so much that I can't stand to be away from her much more. Luckily, APA is paying my way and the hotel so all it is going to cost us is Joe's plane ticket and his food.

My "little" girl is going to be 2 very, very soon. Someone tell time to stop moving!

Pumpkin Fun

So you know we went picking pumpkins...


And last night we carved them and put them on the porch. Emma was SO excited. She loves the pumpkins, and the little gourds we got with them.


Then she decided to get silly. She'll even say "Silly Emma!"


She thought it would be great fun to go over to "Momma Pumpkin" and give it a kiss.



Then she went to the "Daddy Pumpkin" to give that a kiss.




Sometimes the best things in life are free... like a hug and a great smile. And a pumpkin kiss!



I also finished an afghan that I've been working on for years. I purchased this yarn after seeing the free pattern in the store in 2008 -- back when I was pregnant with the first baby and before I knew he/she was gone. I put that yarn away for almost a year, and then started working on it again in September 2009. I've worked on it on and off since then, but just completed it tonight. It's HUGE -- over 7ft long. Weighs a ton, but so warm and awesome. I love it. It's going to a friend in North Dakota (very appropriately!).
