Kinder Farm Park

The fall weather was calling us yesterday so we made a trip to nearby Kinder Farm park.

Mary-Catherine was very excited to get out and run around.

Fall Festival 2010

We visited the local Fall Festival this afternoon. At a balmy 79 degrees it felt like autumn in California but it was still lots of fun.

The past couple years we've been to the pumpkin patch MC didn't show much interest in the pony rides. This year was a different story.

The Pumpkin Express was a big hit too!

A little face painting helped Mary decide what she wanted to be for Halloween.

I just can't believe how quickly she is growing. Here she is at the same pumpkin patch two years ago..

Ahhh, those were the days. She still ate fruits and vegetables, had never heard of time out and certainly didn't request Lady Gaga when we got in the car.

Thank goodness she still lets me put silly bows in her hair :)

Happily Ever After

Our niece Muffie got married to a fantastic man on September 25th. We were lucky enough to have a front row seat to all of the festivities as I was the Matron of Honor and Mary-Catherine was the flower girl.

Muffie is the oldest of eight children, six of which are boys which means this wedding was...... a BIG event.

I can't get enough of the vintage cake topper. The wedding had a late 1950's flare. Wedding crashers were welcome as long as they looked like Don Draper or Roger Sterling.

Heading into the church for the rehearsal. Muffie rarely takes a bad picture and I'm a brat. Sorry Muf.

The soon to be Groom, Bride and Mother of the Bride.

Nana, Mary-Catherine and my sister, Mother of the Bride. Half way through the rehearsal dinner MC asked my sister if she could be her other mother. Which seems weird unless you take into consideration her current mother is a cranky pregnant lady who doesn't allow her to have popsicles for breakfast.

The adorable bride was the picture of grace on her wedding day. Thank you Muffie and Dan for sharing your day with us.
