One thing that El has discovered this fall has been the grapes that are ripe and ready for picking surrounding our house. She has decided that her favorites are the "purple drapes" and she can sit at the base of the Concord grape vine, eating grapes for hours on end. You can imagine how this plays out in her bowels, but we won't mention that here on this clean blog-site. If you come to visit us right now, one of the first places she would take you would be to the base of the Concords. For die-hard grape fans like her, the grape is eaten seeds and all. However, most normal grape-eating people don't enjoy the seeds and spit them on the ground. However all grape eaters are accepted around here!We had some great times with my brother and his family and my grandma came from Iowa for over a week to visit with all of us. Graham has been able to climb four 14er's with my brother and my dad made it up (and down) 1 of them. The following pictures are from the past couple weeks and will show you some of what we have been up to. Blessings!

Oh, the frustration of it all:

Grapes are very yummy. Although I've never tried to eat the seeds.......^_^
Wow, great Praying Mantis pics - and the reading the Potty book on the potty is priceless too. We know all about that adventure.
the picture of el with the hat is gorgeous!-mags
That potty shot is AWESOME! So is she starting to show any interest in sitting there? Did you know that Elmo has a potty video? Since she is such an Elmo fan, maybe it would peak her interest, just like it did with bananas. : )
Also, the picture of all of us turned out good. Graham has a good eye for photo taking, even with a tripod. : ) It was good to spend time with you recently! Love you! : )
