Bry is really starting to get creative. Today part of her pancake looked like a duck! Then she proceeded to pinch it and said she took it's head off! LOL


She has really been into her playdough and making things out of it. It all started with Uncle Eric and Aunt Melissa playing playdough with her and now she is obsessed! 

 A few weeks ago I noticed her playing with her Little People Farm - she had it open all the way and was pretending it was a train saying, "choo choo." 



My mom used to make these for me when I was little - it HAD to have the heart on it. I thought I would give it a try and it was a big hit...I have to admit though, I did add a little sugar on top of the pb to get her to eat it.

Eric and Melissa came to visit us again - wow, two times in one year! We had a great time, as usual. We went to the Mystic Aquarium. It was E&M's first time, Bryanna's first time and although Scott and I had been there before,  everything seemed new to us. We stopped in one of the shops at Mystic Seaport afterwords and picked up some fudge...yum! And of course we hit up OR (Pepe's Pizza) after that.

she likes to rub his face and stroke his hair when on his shoulders, LOL!
Our favorite place this time of year


Of course Bry was scared of the big pumpkins again, so she had to go pick another one. The only little baby pumpkin left was a green one, so we went with it. 


And here are our decorations. It's hard to believe that most 
of this fit in the little garden area at the condo.

look at that zombie in the bottom right corner

Our poor baby had allergies. It only lasted 2 weeks, which wasn't too bad. We were sure if it was the time of year, pink eye or the new kitty - thankfully, it wasn't Hazel or pink eye! A week later she got a cold and ended up needed an inhaler because she was wheezing!

 
Wow, I can't believe this was the 3rd year in a row and Bry has been to every one of them. It has become a tradition that I hope we continue for as long as we can.

We had such a great day today! For anyone wondering about the Alzheimer's Walk in Norwalk, it is really a sad/emotional/happy time all at once. When you get there, you get t-shirts and you choose a forget-me-not flower. Ours was yellow because my grandmother is still alive, but there were a lot of purple flowers which represents people who have passed away from the disease. There are some refreshments to charge you up for the 3 mile walk and then a speaker. I always get teary
eyed listening to the speaker, and it really hits home knowing that my grandmother is suffering and will most likely die from this disease. I can't help but wonder if my flower will be purple next year :-(. The speaker this year was a 60 year old man who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. He seemed pretty normal to me, I would never have known that he had the disease.

We raised $285 and even though that doesn't seem like much, I feel so good knowing that I have raised this money to help END Alzheimer's. THANK YOU everyone who has donated to this cause that is so dear to my heart. If anyone would still like to donate, you can still do so until November 30th.

she wanted to bring puppy for the walk


all the purples are people that have passed from Alzheimer's



Grandma and Grandpa Neal decided to grow pumpkins this year. When we were home over Labor Day we went pumpkin picking in their garden since we weren't sure if we would be back before Halloween. Of course Bryanna is scared of the bigger pumpkins, so she had to have the "little baby one."

"It's too heavy, Daddy!"
