Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Part 2

While waiting to head out to the school buses yesterday morning, Mom found this Deep Thought by Kacy Horne hanging in her classroom.











FYI for anyone who also uses blogger and/or cares: I solved the photo issue but have to upload my pics directly from Picasa (instead of uploading from the picture folder on my computer). An extra step but I am sure your necks will appreciate the effort.

Columbus Day Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Kacy had her first pre-k field trip yesterday, to Roha Farms. She was very excited to ride a school bus for the first time.

10/10/10

Kacy and Daniel celebrating both 10/10/10, and another Ravens win, against the Broncos.

Welcome to October

We went to the Wolfes for dinner and a sleepover on Saturday night. Attempted to get a good shot of all four kids. Each one is good except for one participant. Attempt #1 great save for Grant.

Attempt #2 ok except for Daniel's perfectly-timed spit up.

And attempt #3 finds three wonderful, smiling faces, and one closed-eye Kacy. Oh well. You get the idea.

Despite blogger.com thwarting my efforts, I still wanted to include this picture of our princess chef (see spatula in hand, at the ready).

Hard to believe October is here; Daniel is 10 weeks old today, and Kacy's 4th birthday is lurking around the corner. Birthday cake theme discussions are already happening.

Penmanship Skills

Kacy has been working hard to master writing her full name. The above was done by herself, with some verbal guidance on how to form some of the letters.

Unfortuntaely I still have not found a solution to stop Blogger from rotating the photos from vertical to horizontal...but here are two good ones anyway.

Weekend in Rock Hall

Gearing up for the weekend sure does tucker a baby out.

We hitched a ride across the Chesapeake Bay with Grandma and Grandpa on the boat, and headed over to Rock Hall on Friday. We took a walk when we arrived and came upon a ton of butterflies.

Friday night, Daniel took his first trolley ride for dinner in town.

Saturday at lunch, after walking around the Rock Hall Fall Festival, Daniel stood in for daddy's burger, until it arrived of course.

Unfortunately I have other cute pics from the weekend, but though they rotated and are saved the right way on my laptop, for some reason Blogger wants to reflip them back to their original state when I upload to the site. Not being too tech-savvy, and having had no luck using some of the tips I found on google to supposedly solve the dilemma, I have opted to post the cute ones on Facebook in my pictures. For those non-Facebookers, just email mom at libbyhorne@gmail.com for a selection.

8 Weeks and Counting...

Daniel hits the 8 week mark tomorrow...so quick!

Kacy and Daniel getting ready for another boat ride yesterday, for Baltimore Yacht Club's annual Fleet Review to honor outgoing Commodore Dick Bruns. Yet another gorgeous day to be out on the water!

Beautiful Boat Ride

We tagged along for a boat ride with Grandma and Grandpa on Saturday afternoon. We took the boat for a "quick" ride to the Inner Harbor; the weather was fabulous and it was a great day for a boat ride.  Daddy took a turn at the helm, and Kacy helped him navigate. Daniel enjoyed the view between naps.

The Francis Scott Key bridge from the water.

Saturday night, our friend Erin came up to visit, and we celebrated her birthday (a few days late). Kacy of course had to help her blow out her candles.

Kacy Begins Pre-K

Kacy headed off to school today for her first full day of pre-K. She was all set, with her Dora backpack and Tinkerbell lunchbox.

Daniel is now 6 weeks old, and is growing into his chick magnet status.

Maryland State Fair Day

We spent Labor Day Monday at the Maryland State Fair. Kacy loved checking out all the animals, including cows, horses, pigs and chickens.

Kacy's first foray into fair games was successful. She won the monkey she really wanted.

Daddy and Kacy took a spin on the ferris wheel.

Then a spin on the merry-go-round was in order.

Daniel was a good caretaker of Kacy's monkey while she rode the rides.

At lunchtime, fair food was of course on tap. Kacy's choice was a footlong corndog.

On the way out, we visited Legoland.

It was a good holiday weekend, full of fair fun and food!

To back up a bit, on Tuesday the 31st Daniel had his 4 week visit to the doctor and weighed in at 12 pounds. This weekend he has spoiled us with some long stretches of sleep (6 hours overnight on Friday and Saturday, almost 8 last night!) and we are hoping this trend continues.

Kacy has her first official day of school tomorrow. We are sure she will do great and learn a lot.
