These are all the good things about trying to make baby #2....

Finding jellyfish and tiny crabs under the rocks

Ferry rides with misty mountain views

catching waves and sunrays

can not keep her out of the water

Halloween

Foxy lady going to Mila's birthday brunch

She started the morning out as a bee

Then moved on to the cutest Pippi I ever did see. She kept the wig on all day and all night while trick or treating.

Mary and Burt. We put a movie on for Minea and quickly changed into character followed by some impressive arm in arm chim chimney singing into the livingroom to see our daughter's face light up with glee...except she hated it. Take it ooofffff nooooo mammaaaaaa. Surprise was on us, ha! 

Halloween party at the gymnastics club with Freya, a mini haunted house and trampoline jumping.

Trick of treating with the minions was priceless! Frikk or freeeet. Love love love holidays with our little one. And the rain stayed away for a couple of hours and Minea was so excited about all the candy and knocking on doors but mostly about hanging out with friends all day.

A working girl, northern lights and a Thanksgiving feast

I had to get my camera out for this one, she put on this jacket and hat "Mia going work" she said. 

First day out after being sick for a few days, looking a little pale.

King of the moss hill

Waiting for our guests to arrive to celebrate our birthdays. It turned out to be a beautiful night with some nice northern lights dancing in the sky as we stood shoulder to shoulder with friends, eyes wide open to the sky, the fire crackling and the smell of burning cedar filling the chilly air. 

Thanksgiving dinner with family.

The little kids table in the corner was the sweetest little set up.

The past few..

The Fall Fair is always a hit, especially with her best friends.

Ready for some birthday party fun!

 Minea became a big cousin (again!) to this little bundle of sweetness, Tove.

Minea's hair is finally long enough for little ponytails. She calls it pony hair.

Always has to do up her zipper herself..until she realizes she can't do it herself.

A beautiful walk to the canyon

A walk and snack in the park 

Peekabo and a walk to the lake with Elliott.
