We have been having a busy fall. I will try to share some of the highlights.Bill and I took Alexa to a local orchard to pick apples. It is not Edwards but it was fun to pick. Alexa picked an apple and started to eat it! She loves apple slices but I always had to peel them for her - not anymore! She loves the whole apple now.
She is trying many new foods too - with some encouragement. Tonight she had some chili (with goldfish crackers). Tacos are now a favorite. And she loves corn. I made a cider pork stew in the crock pot one day and she ate some! I can cook real food again! I was getting rather tired of fish sticks and cheese pizza.
We have been back to the zoo a couple times. There was some special music one day. Alexa went up and grabbed the microphone and insisted - yes, insisted - that she be able to sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. And so she did!

She loves school. These are a couple of her projects she has brought home.

She did her own hair on Sunday. Can you tell!?!

The weather had been quite dreary for a while but Sunday was beautiful. Alexa and I headed over to Saylorville and Big Creek and found some parks. I wanted to take pictures with my new camera. I had a great subject!
