Pumpkin Farm

Natalie and I visited the Shady Lane Pumpkin Farm with our church play group today. We bundled up for the hay ride through the corn fields. Afterwards, we checked out a pretty neat train display in one of the buildings. Once we were done playing outside with our friends, Natalie got to choose a little pumpkin to take home.

Tomorrow, we are looking forward to going to an apple orchard with some friends.

The last couple of days, Natalie has enjoyed playing with one of her toy phones while riding in the car. Yesterday, she overheard me making a phone call as I was setting up an oil change. Since then, she has been imitating my phone conversation. It is cute to hear her sounding so much like me. Her conversations on the phone go somewhat like this: "Call oil change place. Service department, please." She then goes on to state our last name, spell it, and then says, first name...Natalie. Tonight, Nate got to hear her phone conversations. If he has time, hopefully he can add to this story.

One other neat thing that Natalie has been doing a lot more lately is putting letter sounds together in an attempt to read. She was so proud of herself last weekend when she read the title of one of her books, which happened to be - "My First Word Book."
