New Family, New Traditions

Last year, when Marlee was less than two months old, we watched the Roswell Youth Day Parade and followed it with a trip to the pumpkin patch. It was a festive fall day, and we decided to make it an annual tradition. This year, the Schugs joined us to watch the parade. Sophie and Marlee enjoyed it...I think Nick did too, but he didn't have much to say :). After the parade and a nap, we took Marlee to the pumpkin patch. It was so much more fun this year. She enjoyed the animals, the hayride, and picking out pumpkins. She chose a small orange one and a teeny tiny white one, which she carried around (and slept with!) for two days. I have some pictures to post, but I'm blogging from LA, so they'll have to wait until we get back.

More MJ updates:

Marlee is talking up a storm (new words: breakfast, magnet, finished) and is very in to her baby doll these days. I keep meaning to take pictures. She carries her around, pats her on the back, and even pretends to nurse her. It is so stinkin' cute.

We also went to the Youth Day Parade! I thought about you guys, since you're in a prime spot to watch it. :) Wow, it brought back some serious memories. :) That is too cute about Marlee and her baby doll, especially that she tries to nurse her - how sweet!!! Can't wait to see pictures.
