Fall leaves and first snow

Here are some pics of our recent romps in the beautiful fall leaves. Sawyer did a good job helping me rake up the front lawn.
He had some fun playing in the garden too.He is never happy when it is time to go inside...

And the leaves were really beautiful until.... our first snow! It has been a very, very cold weekend.

I love this pic of Sawyer- he has such an earnest face.

It was so cold that on Saturday Diane and I brought Sawyer and Amato to the butterfly pavilion. Sawyer hasn't been there since he was 11 months and just learning to walk (and Omi was visiting). He was a little nervous about the fluttering butterflies but he loved the spiders and cockroaches, touched the starfish. Sawyer spent most of the time in the pavilion running after Amato yelling "Mat-mo! Mat-mo!"

I tried to get to some good pictures but only this picture of Amato turned out well. Here he is!
Sawyer's vocabulary is really growing! His new big words this week are tunnel, cricket, and honey.
