Brother and Sister Moments
This post captures Julianna and Adrian enjoying each others company. Julianna likes the idea of taking pictures with her brother but getting both of them to smile and look at the camera at the same time is next to impossible but we have fun trying and enjoying the moment.

Muddy Puddies
Last weekend saw a lot of rain which in turn provided lots of 'Muddy Puddle' opportunities which for us are really just water puddles.

Pumpkins and Gourds
With Autumn arriving last month the weather is just about perfect and we have stripped our yard of summer annuals and replaced them with fall and winter pansies and violas. We also added a big pumpkin and gourd collection for Julianna and updated her flag for Halloween. She was super excited to see her decked out playset and we got some terrific shots of her enjoying the changing weather.
Enjoy!

Tangerine Dreaming
In addition to a new baby brother, Julianna has fallen in love with eating tangerines which is great because they can sometimes be a little bitter if you focus on the taste of the outer skin and not on the delicious insides. In addition to that Julianna has been interested in her little brother and making muddy puddies on the deck with her water can and pink boots.

My Pink Boots
One of Julianna's favorite items of late are a pair of pink boots (Crocs) which she absolutely loves. She can put them on, take them off, and really loves using them to splash through puddles. The rest of the post are some great pictures of Julianna messing around school and in the drive way with the autumn leaves starting to fall.

Monday we got back from the Hospital with Julianna's new baby brother Adrian Maddox Clay and got back in to the swing of things. This collection is from a few weeks ago but still some great pictures capturing Julianna in motion.

Magic Doodle Dandy
In addition to coloring, Julianna likes working with the 'Magic Doodle' which is a cool drawing mat that uses water and a mat to do temporary drawings (they evaporate with the water). Julianna also loves collecting the leaves that are starting to fall from some of the tree's. Now I just need to teach her how to use the rake and we'll be all set this fall. We round out this collection with some pictures by the window as we watched the birds, deer, and whatever else happened to be moving through our yard, and some play set pictures.
