Wordful Wednesday: Pumpkin Girls

Finally, after nearly 6 months of temperatures in the 90s and above, fall has officially 
arrived in Louisiana!!  The windows have been thrown open, pumpkin spice candles are lit 
in every room, and I cooked my very best soup to date: beef and vegetable with every 
single ingredient purchased from our local vegetable co-op.  Isabelle and I 
finished homework duties at lightening speed last week so that we could catch an hour 
of sunshine before dance class.  We walked over to the little pumpkin patch at our 
church and I let the girls pick out pumpkins and a few gourds.  These photos are an 
amazing representation of life with my two girls lately: Isabelle prancing around with 
her head in the clouds, dancing and singing to herself as she acts out the musical that 
exists inside her extraordinary imagination.  And Brees, my sweet little baby who has 
grown into a toddler overnight, running at full speed the second I point my camera into 
her general direction, covering her face with a diva-like "No pictures please" attitude.  
They have such different personalities and I'm not sure if it is because of their age 
difference or if they are just truly different people.  Only time will tell, I suppose.  Until 
then, we will treasure these moments of Belle's super size grins and the glimpses of the 
back of Brees' head as she heads for the hills.
