We're into fall and much has gone on since the last update.  This means many pictures!

John, Madeleine, and Nancy dining out at Outback Steakhouse for our 4th Wedding anniversary.

At Aunt Mary's house trying on Uncle David's sunglasses.  Cousin Catherine is on the couch.

Madeleine seems to prefer sunglasses worn upside down.

A full couch at our house! That's Grandpa Bob in the background.

Big smiles from Madeleine.

Out at the Japanese Friendship Gardens by Happy Hollow feeding the fish.

There were plenty of fish to be fed!

Getting ready to go out to dinner with Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Bob.  Madeleine is admiring a necklace she was given by them.

Looking very coy, she is still fingering the necklace.

Daddy, Madeleine, Grandma Nancy, and Mommy at Teske's Germania in downtown San Jose.

That is a soda Madeleine is sipping from, not a dark beer!

Madeleine next to Ryan James Chavez (approx. 15 weeks of age) at Valley Fair Mall.

Madeleine in Half Moon Bay and Lemos Farm picking out pumpkins.

A more serious pumpkin pose.

Can we get this one?

Madeleine on the pony ride! Her first time in the saddle.

A close up of her in the saddle.

While it does not show well in these shots, Madeleine seemed to enjoy the ponies quite a bit.  Every time we went near them after this, she had to run over and wave to them through the fence.

Madeleine feeding the goats. Her cup is empty.

Petting the goats. Her friend Katherine is with her in the purple.

Feeding a goat with Mommy and Katherine.

Off to feed the little goat.

Nancy getting friendly with the goats.

Katherine and her father Ian along with Madeleine and Daddy.

Out at Bonfante Gardens again. I know, we've seen the artichoke ride before, but Daddy is having a good hair moment.

Madeleine pointing out the pretty roses.

Madeleine checking out more pumpkins.

Here you can see her shirt, a gift from Grandma Nancy.  It says, "It's All About Me!"

Having fun on a hay bale at Bonfante Gardens.

Erin and Vesna Jennings and their daughter Allison joined us at Bonfante Gardens.

On the slide at Grandpa Paul and Grandma Emily's house. We went there for a BBQ.

Holding hands and walking around with cousin Lauren.

In the back yard again having fun!

A group picture.  The kids, from the top, are Madeleine, cousin Jack, cousin Lauren, and cousin Kayla. A minor miracle getting them all in the same picture.  We'll work on getting them all smiling at a later date.
