Pumpkins? Pumpkins, you ask? Whaddya think? Do Dakota and I look like we just fell off the turnip truck?

Here I am at the Harvest Festival, just sitting on a hay bale in front of a huge pumpkin eating an apple Nana let me pick out. I don't remember what has caught my attention, there were so many things going on. Must have been the band that was playing. I had lots of fun, and, of course, good things to eat.

Nana takes me to a nearby apple orchard and lets me pick out any kind of apple I want. Don't tell her, but I really don't know any of their names. I just pick out one that has a pretty color and a nice shape. I don't want her to think I'm too superficial, though, so keep it between us, okay?

Psst! I'm tellin' ya, Blake. I've posed for thousands of pictures. Just smile, wait 'til you hear a few clicks, and then they leave you alone. Better get used to it in this family!

Okay, I appreciate your teaching me how to play badminton, but are you sure I'm supposed to be the only one on this side of the net? And that I hold the racket this way? Yes, I will back away from the net, as soon as you answer the rest of my questions.

Ava, Camille and Gracie. Three cousins caught in the act of eating fruit. Not a bad thing, but we could have been a little more graceful, perhaps.

Umm. This is kind of a stretch for me, don't you think? Junior Gym is tougher than I thought it would be. Oh well, here goes...

Just...one...more...step...and I'll vault over the top and run down the other side. Having fun at the Junior Gym and getting ready for my Olympic gymnastics career. I love this place!

Sign? What sign? I didn't see any sign! Besides, I can't read yet, so it must not apply to me, right? And what does "No Off Road Vehicles" mean, anyway?

Mmmph. Got a good grip on my Elly, snug in my car seat, Daddy at the wheel, time to reflect on our wonderful day at Storyland. TGIF.

Here I am coming in first in the 1,000 meter freestroke event. Well...kinda, sorta. It's how I like to visualize myself as I practice my kicks in Brian's pool. I really didn't swim 1,000 meters. Not yet, anyway. But I'm practicing, so watch for me in the 2024 Olympics. Does anyone know where they're gonna be held yet? Will I be able to ride there on my tricycle?

Yo, Ho, Ho, and a bottle of rum! Is that what I'm supposed to say, Daddy? It feels more like, "Ho-Hum," with this motley crew behind us and not a parrot in sight. When does the plundering and pillaging start?

Uh, oh! Daddy, I changed my mind. Where's my car seat? Are you strapped in? Can you stop this ride? What happens way down there at the bottom? Where are the people that were in the log ahead of us? Why don't I see any survivors down there?

Here I am riding on the carousel at Storyland. I brought Daddy along to keep the horse from running away with me. You know how that is, I'm sure.

Happy Birthday, Papa! We couldn't come to your house yesterday while wearing our Birthday suits, so Mommy took a picture to help us wish you Happy Birthday while thematically attired. Now, please don't reciprocate on our birthdays! Okay?

Okay, I wasn't expecting this picture to be taken. It was not one of my best "Kodak Moments," if you know what I mean. I was pouting a bit because I was scolded for not doing what I was told by "She, who must be obeyed," better known as Mommy. Apparently she thought it was a good idea to record this for history. Me, I got over it soon enough.

Now you and I both know why Daddy was digging the big hole in the sand at the beach! He's trying to find some way to keep me in one place for more than 5 seconds! Ha, ha. It will only work this one time.

Daddy caught on to my little dodge, so here I am helping him dig this big hole in the sand at the beach. He hasn't told me what it's for, but as soon as I find out, I'll let you know, also.

Ha, ha. I've got this whole beach thing figured out. While I sit here enjoying some yogurt, Daddy's digging away in the sand making a huge hole. All I have to do is keep smiling when he looks up and somehow make this little yogurt snack last until he's all finished digging.

Grandpa Dave is elevating me to new heights. I'm just trying to get a look at the newly repaired steeple on the church in Market Square, Portsmouth. Looks pretty good from up here, too.

How much longer before the music starts? I'm waiting for the concert to begin at Newburyport's Yankee Homecoming but nothing's happening. I bet I could go up on that stage and sing to the early gatherers. My repertoire includes "Hot Potato" and "Happy Birthday." What else do I need?

Auntie Ann came over with Nana Jan to babysit Blake and me. She didn't know I can make a slide out of almost anything I can climb up on. She knows now!

Let me see, Grammy Sue let me play with these and I think I saw her doing this with these thing-a-ma-jigs. Do these measure My interpupillary distance? Or will they turn the end of my nose up? I wonder.

Gee, whenever there's water around I'm instantly drawn to it. I just hope the kids I hang around with as I grow older don't nickname me, "Dowser."

Here I am with Maddie and Olivia at their camp in Poland Springs, Maine. They're two of Leanne's daughters, a childhood friend of Mommy. We're searching for frogs and fish, but I've noticed an enormous bug crawling up Olivia's arm to her shoulder. I can't take my eyes off it. She doesn't seem to even notice it! Doesn't she have any fear at all?
