Fall Is Here!

Fall is here, and with it has come Hoodenpyle busy-ness! Here are some highlights:

Jim recently watched the Tour of Missouri cyclists come through the Springfield area for the second year in a row. He is really quite the pro at acquiring autographs, I have to say. Last year he got several sharpied scribble-scrabbles of the athletes, and this year was no different. Below, Jack and Jim get ready to go for a ride (yes, in their matching jerseys).


Emma has been learning new tricks left and right lately. Well, okay... not her right... just her left.


Although gyrating is not mentioned in any of the baby books' lists of developmental benchmarks, she can do a darn good impersonation of Elvis.



And she's saying new words all the time- new words that are impossible to capture on video, it seems. Her latest is, "Uh-oh," as in "Uh-oh, I'm getting ready to cause major trouble... maybe even break something... and laugh while I do it." It's amazing that she's nearly ten months old already. How is this possible?

  3. So she's a lefty, possibly? Love her sweet dancing skills. Next thing you know, she'll be playing with nun-chucks.
