During Melanie’s visit here last weekend, we enjoyed a walk at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center. We had two fearless trail leaders to blaze the way. One of them was sporting a new princess dress made by Granny as her Halloween costume.
Here Sylvie is jumping from stump to stump in a circle…a favorite and long-enjoyed activity.
Love this blue sky. Still lots of leaves on trees, but we’re seeing more and more bare brances.
Melanie’s hair is so petty in the sunshine. It shines like copper!
Here’s our crew (minus me!).
There’s Bryan and Mel on a pier on the pond.
I just love the way that the dried flowers glow when back-lit by the sun. Such a different look from their summer blooms, but really just as striking.
New favorite picture of Melanie and Bryan in the woods.
She wasn’t really taller than him…just standing on a rock:)
I love the energy in the look that Andrew and Sylvie are giving each other. Wonder what they were talking about:)
Other new favorite picture!
Melanie with her niece and nephew.
Princess Sylvie running down the path.
Here’s Sylvia and Andrew sitting on the dock…
…and a few minutes later, Melanie and Bryan. Sibling mirrors.
Such beautiful color!
Pensive princess examining the foliage.

Spinning!!! Sylvie’s hair is really quite long when it’s not all bouncing up in curls:)
Mel and Sylvie under a red maple.

That’s what I’ve got for photos of our time with Melanie. We’ll see her again at Christmas, which in some ways feels like a long time, but those two months of November and December are probably going to fly by! Thanks for coming up, Mel! We love you. xoxo
