Leon Day

"Hey guys, what are you doing?" that's Leon's greeting to everyone.

 Today Vincent and I took Leon out for a special treat, a train ride... or three.
 Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad

"train!"

Leon's train face, a big kissable smile!

Not a good pic, but there were a few ghosts on the carousel. Leon
loves ghosts, and skeletons, and pumpkins with scary faces, he doesn't
 even mind scary clowns. He's seen Nightmare Before Christmas a dozen
times in the last two weeks. I can't wait for Halloween with him.
 

"I'm a hobo" Vincent said

Leon's gotten good on the scooter of course.
 (Don't mind the dumpsters, it's easy diaper drop off on the way to our carport!)

Going to sleep with his last love of the day, tonight a stack of
Halloween books and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Saturday after our hike

Dear Teta and family,

Sorry to concern you, your computer is working just fine;)  You haven't seen a new post since Sept 5, cause there have been none - meaning we've been busy!  But we did get some good photos.  Hugs to all our fans. xoxo MMVL

We begin with Romy's sixth birthday party!

Minion cupcakes - by Trinity of course!

silly string fight finale!

at home in bed - Leon was hungry for pennies.  Lucky for us
he can help himself into the piggy bank:(

boys' room upgrade.. Leon calls the leaf canopy - "nice green leaf"
which is from the Very Hungry Catipillar - a nightly read -
actually Leon can read it all by himself.

Leon, Vincent and new neighbor
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
They pretty much live together in this space between
our apt and theirs

above and below: Vincent and I went to see my coworker in the musical
In the Heights

Mom always has fun with Vincent:)

Saturday at Vincent's school event - Family Fun Fair
Mom was the spin art volunteer!

And today, Sunday, we went to the Webb Ranch Pumpkin Patch!

Zombie pumpkins!

Hay ride to the cornfields!

fearless in the cornfields, he ran and ran

Vincent found the smallest corn

even at home Leon is the corn husker

fearless in the haunted house - "YOUR TURN MOM!"

"BYE PUMPKINS, BYE CASTLE"

home now with his babies:)
