"Fall"ing into Fun

Where has the time gone?  We've been busy the last couple of months!  Pinky has been growing like crazy and continues to amaze us with her growing vocabulary.  Last Saturday we heard her request from the kitchen:  "I want some coffee, daddy".  We were still counting the words on our fingers when she added:  "I want some apples too." 

Here's a quick look at some of the highlights from the last couple of months:
