penny: your post-nap sleepy face and messy hair... they are my current favorite things.

penny: as far as looks go, you're pretty much a 100% combo baby. it's a 50/50 split when someone tells us who they think you look like. personally i don't see much of either your dad or i when i look at your face. however, there are two exceptions. when you give me a furrowed brow, dirty look kinda face... i see your dad. no doubt about it. and when i look into your sweet blue eyes i am instantly reminded that you are my girl. those baby blues have been handed down through a long line of wonderful family members, and i'm so proud that you can now claim them too.

a family farm session...

when we were down on the farm last weekend, we decided it was the perfect time for a little impromptu family session for these fantastic friends of ours. little wiley boone turned 6 months old on this very day, and what better way to celebrate then to go say 'hi' to all the farm animals, smell the sunflowers, and get your picture taken with your mom & dad.

happiest half birthday to you, wiley! it goes without saying that you bring so much joy to your mama & papa, but you also give me, evan, & penny a whole lot to smile about too!

down on the farm...

this weekend our little family (and that includes our best buds. ie, extended family) loaded up with snacks and headed on out to the pumpkin patch. lemme just tell you about the wonder that was that afternoon. we got to hang with the likes of horses, cows, a rooster, some chickens, what may or may not have been quail, and one rather aloof donkey named cracker jack. it was great. it was free. and somehow none of us left with a pumpkin. too early in the season if ya ask me...  

so if you're in the charlotte, nc area i'd definitely recommend checking out Hodges Farm. it was some good family fun!

penny: your recent love of slides has us scouting out new playgrounds almost every day. i just live for that little "weeee" you sing each time you push off.

oh, Boone.

when your friends kid is this darn cute you make no apologies for taking a million pictures of him...
