Where Olivia Goes, Samantha Will Follow

Okay, so I was going to take a little break for a few days, but man, it's in my blood now!  hehehe  Somehow I still feel compelled to post every day, which I'm sure will change when I realize I have nothing to yap about.  So I'm taking it a bit easy, sharing some pics from yesterday of Samantha and her best friend, Olivia.  (Some are from my SLR, and 3 are from my cell phone - any guesses which ones?).

I'm still going through and editing the pics from Samantha's school Halloween party and from Halloween itself, so they should be ready in a few days.  In the meantime, here's a glimpse of the beautiful day we had yesterday - crisp, cool, breezy, sunny, sky dotted with white fluffy clouds, ground littered with the bold reds and yellows of fallen leaves.  It was just...gorgeous. 

Just like my girl.

Going down the slide just like Mommy does with Sammi.

Samantha being a good friend and letting Olivia slide first.

(yep, there are some continuity errors here - note the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't coat).

Pointing out the big, fluffy white clouds in the sky.  I know it won't be long before she begins to think about what animal/vegetable/mineral/fantasticalcreature the clouds look like.  I'm so looking forward to the day when we can both lie on the grass, looking up at the sky, telling stories about what we see.
