Day 229- Journey to Dreamland

I've been wanting to take this picture forever. This book was written by my Great-Grandmother, my Dad's Mom's Mom. Got it? Anyway, my Grandma read this to my Dad when he was little and my Dad read it to me and now I read it to Quinn. The little girl on the cover is supposed to look like my Grandma. I love the smell of this book. It's old and dusty. And the pages are beautifully yellowed. There were only a few copis left and my Dad just finally gave me mine. The jacket is ripped but I still love it so much. It's full of happy fairy tales, nothing scary or sad, like most of the classic fairy tales we know. Just sweet stories of curious puppies and raindrops falling in love and magic wandmakers. My childhood dreams came from the stories in this book and I hope Quinn's will too.

Day 228- Rainbow Brite

I love this picture of Quinn. Probably because I have one of me just like it. Just this angle that makes it look like I have a giant head and a little body. Plus her outfit is too freakin cute. Oh, and check out that scratch on her forehead. Thats from her bush accident.

Day 227- Seasons Change...A Little Early

This is at the entrance of my neighborhood. I guess all the cool weather we had this summer tricked our trees into thinking it was already Fall. That's fine with me! I L-O-V-E fall!!!

Day 226- Quinn's Favorite Fair Treat

I love Fair time! We went twice this year. Once to see Sublime, which, as I said before, didn't happen. And this time to take Quinn and eat as much fair food as possible. We had bratwursts with sauerkraut, ice cream, roasted corn and funnel cake. Yum, yum, yum and YUUUUMMMM! But out of all these things, all Quinn wanted was a pickle. I can't even express to you how much this child loves pickles. I gave one to her when she was about 10 months, just to see her make the classic sour face and...nothing. The girl doesn't even react, she just chows down. It's crazy. She also loves blue cheese crumbles, onions and lemon. But she won't eat corn. She's a strange kid.

Day 225- Rollin with Dad

And I'm BACK! Things are still kind of crazy but thats okay, we're going to be alright. Last weekend, Mike's stepsister and her family were here from Texas. I love when they come and visit. They're fun! Mike's cousin brought down his big trike and Mike and Quinn rode around the neighborhood. Quinn loved this SO much! She laughed and screamed the whole time. And she made her little vroom vroom noise that she makes when she sees motorcycles. Something tells me this little girl is taking after her daddy.
