Updates on their way...
I forgot my memory card reader in NY, so my pictures aren't on the computer yet. It should be here by the weekend and then we'll have lots to post about. Including Luli's first day of school, the bachelorette party, the wedding - and Luli's subsequent obsession with who she'll marry.

Raspberries
Today we went to Hicks Farm and picked fall 
raspberries. It was a great time and the girls really enjoyed it. Not only did they have so much fun, they ate a ton of raspberries and were in terrific moods. Pahpah came with us and enjoyed the picking and fun of the girls also. There was no one else there, we were the only pickers. Which was really great! The weather was beautiful, maybe a little hot but really a lovely morning. The girls were great about only picking really red berries, and never once complained about the tiny thorns. Luli commented:"Mommy these are so DElicious" emphasis on DEEE. I asked her if she had more berries in her pail or in her tummy, she said pail. Pahpah and I both laughed out loud on that one!
She had about four in her pail, and I was certain a good 20+ had already entered the tummy. Nearing the end, Fiona handed me her pail and said "car." Taking the hint, we went into the store and looked at the model (really large) train that circles through the ceiling of the store house and around the donut making area, pretty cool. Fiona loved it so much she walked around with her head tilted back so she could see, and even tried walking backward for a continuous view. Then as a treat we all got apple cider donuts to enjoy on the car ride home.

mind on the pool! We checked on the fairy house the day after we made it and would you believe? A fairy has started living there! We can tell because she left behind crumbs from her dinner and fairy dust is all over the place. The girls are really excited they were able to build a home for a nice fairy, if only they could catch a glimpse of her.

Other than that we've been enjoying the backyard, it is great for chase, and Fiona is regularly asking someone to "play catch." Remarkably the girls are going to bed at 7:45pm every night and waking at 7:15am! Though the past few days Luli hasn't napped and the evening does become a bit challenging.
On for tomorrow is raspberry pie making and my cousin Sue's Bachelorette party. I've also posted all of our photos from the past couple days in the album. Enjoy!
