pumpkin patch: year 3

Thank you, Hyde Park Village Pumpkin Patch for three years of sweet photos with my little girl!

If you'd like to take a walk down memory lane you can view pictures from the previous two years HERE and HERE. Sadly, our moms group is getting smaller and smaller these days and only Haleigh and Lacy were able to meet me at the pumpkin patch this year. Everyone keeps moving away! My dear friend Helenka (Maya's mom) moved to Washington, DC last week. Telling her goodbye broke my heart. Other friends have moved to Denver, Raleigh and Australia.

So this year Abby got to hang out with the boys: Axel and Connor. We tried to get a posed picture of the three of them together but this was the best we got.

Abby proudly wore her sparkly Wichita State Shockers shirt from Grandma and "Grumpy" Zajkowski. A little later at the park I had fun a conversation with a mom whose daughter was wearing a purple Kansas State shirt. They lived in Lawrence, KS for several years and their extended family owns and runs Whistle Stop -- my favorite coffee shop back home in Lee's Summit. If my dad looks out his office window at the bank, Whistle Stop is right across the train tracks. What a small world!

Here's Caroline, Lacy's baby girl.

Abby and Axel, together yet again.

As determined as I was to avoid princess costumes, Abby insists on being Cinderella for Halloween this year and there was no talking her out of it. She has a parade and party at her preschool on Friday so I will try to get some pictures of the kids then. So fun!
