After the loop, we took a fieldtrip to My-shells house, to play with all her farm animals. Again, molly was very timid at first, but came around to pet all of them- the horsie caballo, the roosters, and a hen. Maya once again was enthralled by her surroundings. A great afternoon, thanks so much Michelle!
With a Sunday afternoon free, and a sunny October day, we decided it was time we got up to the Georgetown loop. It was fun to go on the choochoo train, and both girls were very curious about it. Molly was starting to come down with something, so she wasnt nearly as impressed with it all as we thought she was going to be. Maya seemed more interested most of the time!!!! Both girls looked adorable in their train conductor overalls!
Maya took her first crawling steps when we were in Chicago, actually at Brett's grandfathers wake. (circle of life?) She was very slow and tentative about it, but every time she decided she wanted to be somewhere, she did it. Pretty quick she was into everything, and everywhere all at once! And then it is always special when we can actually get the two of them together, smiling, and being sweet to each other. It happens, just not often when the camera is available!!!!
Molly found one of my bras, and decided she needed to run around saying "look at my boobies!" where does she get these things? Brett can confirm that I haven't done something like that for many years! ; ) And then she wanted to dance in her pretty ladybug dress from Abulita's trip to spain. I guess these are pretty much wedding slide show shots!
What a perfect fall day to go on a field trip with papa and his kids to Miller Farms. Molly loves watching the big kids do things, and we ALL love a good farm with pumpkins! We picked potatoes, corn, squash, cucumbers, cilantro and of course pumpkins. Molly sat on her "big green tractor" rode on a little green bay packer train, and did lots of jumps on the hay pile. What a big girl. Maya LOVED being pulled in a little wagon. A great day, fun was had by all!
I told papa that both girls could use baths while I was at work, and he decided that they were ready for one together in our big family tub. Maya looks so tiny with her little 12 lbs 15 oz. Her bright blue eyes look even more beautiful wet. She didn't seem to much mind molly's watering.
While the reason for the visit was a sad one, Brett's grandfathers passing, the trip back to Illinois was a fun one to catch up with family. We enjoyed trips to the park, wagon rides around the neighborhood, and lunch on the back porch. The girls slept in the same room, and giggled their selves to sleep together every night. What a treat to listen to. Great time with Grandpa, can't wait to see you again!
