Long time, no see. Sorry we haven't updated this in a while. Tonight we're finally taking the time to upload photos and catch everyone up on what Paula has been up to.
On October 19th, Paula was Baptised at Our Lady of the Valley Church. It had special meaning to me (Jennie) as that was the church where I was baptised as a baby. Paula was very good during the ceremony, except for refusing to wear her hat (and it was adorable the brief moment she had it on!) and also for wanting to eat Father John's book (he thought she wanted to hold it, but we all knew better than that!) Father John really made everyone feel welcome, especially the children. He invited all of the children up to the Baptismal font to get a closer view, and all of the children went to watch (with the adults standing nearby watching also!) When the water was poured on Paula, she didn't cry...she only made a movement to go "plop-plop" in the water...just like she does in the bathtub!
I'm going to post some of the photos from Paula's special day, but have a request. If anyone took any photos, could you please email them to me (or let me borrow the negatives so I can make a set). Thanks :)

Our Pumpkin Princess
Here are some photos of a recent trip to a farm near my Aunt Marie's house. Mom, Aunt Marie, Paula and myself stopped there to get some beautiful mums a few weeks ago and couldn't resist capturing Paula on film! Paula actually kept her barettes in her hair all day and was intrigued by the different flowers and plants and enjoyed the pumpkins too! In one photo, you'll notice Paula holding a flower in her hand...compliments of Aunt Marie's visit to a nearby mum. She smiled at the flower and then giggled at us! The final "car seat" photo, shows Paula holding some straw in her hand (and mouth!) Paula likes to put things in her mouth, and we guessed correctly that by the end of the day that she would somehow get a piece of straw to "chew on!"
