nana visits & we pick apples

ok, so i got a few weeks behind on the blog again... we had a nice visit with my mom a few weeks ago when she came to CT. Arwyn certainly enjoyed the extra attention :) one thing we did, in keeping with the season, was to go apple picking at a nearby orchard. Arwyn loves apples so of course this was a great fit.
















we also went for a nice hike during the weekend to an area park that has a "fairy village", in which children paint small houses for the forest spirits and leave toys. needless to say Arwyn got a big kick out of that.







































in all we had a great weekend. Arwyn really enjoyed her time with her Nana (and enjoys saying her name) and i think my mom was impressed with just how much the little one has grown up in recent months. i'll finish with a short video clip of my efforts to capture Arwyn drawing with Nana. i failed miserably as i was caught red-handed try to be sneaky, so of course she stopped drawing :)
