This is not the post I was going to write. The one about our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Because when I look at my folder of pictures the only thing that comes to my mind is the marvel that is my 3 year old girl. Marvel I tell you. As soon as we were inside, she was off. And never looked back. Not once. If you wanted to see her feed a goat, pedal a mini tractor, ride a horse swing, go down a two-story slide, or navigate a corn maze, you had better be running behind her. I love Lily with a fierce motherly love. But some days, like pumpkin patch days, I wish I could just be her friend. She enchants me with her blazing independence. And I am so not that girl. Surely she would teach me a thing or two. Of course her choice in pumpkin is an easy example...
wait for it...
wait for it...
It was love at first sight. Totally her pumpkin. And what about a sweet photo with mom to commemorate the day?
not a chance.
not a chance.
Lily, maybe you'll read this one day.
I love you. Oh my gosh, I love you.

Sweet Lily!! I laughed to hard at her pumpkin! It must have been a charlie brown tree moment for her!
I have to second Christy you look BEAUTIFUL! You have to tell me where you got your shirt! I love it!
What's the personality of Roman? It seems like between Zach and Lily you have one of each personality types.
What a little stinker (a cute one, but a stinker nonetheless!)
Love the mini green pumpkin, too!
Too cute!
On a side note, I love your top!!! So pretty.
So cute.I think Zach looks huge too.Love lily's choice in pumpkins.I'm sure throughout her life she will choose lots of little green pumpkins and stand out of the crowd :)I can't beleive we only live a few hours away from you and still haven't come your way.I miss you, we keep talking about it, just need to DO it.I liked this one because it has a picture of you in it, a rare but beautiful find in your posts!
yes, Zach is getting so big! I can't believe how much older he looks! And the little green pumpkin, how funny! Lily is such a cute girl. And you look beautiful, as always. :)
So adorable. There's nothing else I can say. Just. so. adorable.
awww so sweet.
please tell me you let her keep that little green thing ;)
hehe, love it! girls are wonderful! can't predict what they'll do! :)
I know another little girl who also doesn't like taking pictures. We actually bought a picture from J.C. Penny's because Julianne has her little pout going on. I like to think it adds character!
Oh I love that photo of you and her together. Someday you will tell her the story of that photo and you will laugh together and then one day she will have a little girl JUST LIKE THAT and you'll laugh and she probably won't;) I love this post!
Great post-great way to look at sweet independence:)
Oh my gosh I LOVE Lily's pumpkin hahaha she is the funniest girl ever!!!! So excited to see you all next week!!!
