We found a bike on the side of the road last week. It is....you guessed it...purple with princesses. And Montana is doing so awesome at riding it. My heart overflows with pride.

Fashion Corner with Montana Faith
Where did this girl come from? This was her hiking attire for a recent family hike.
I was actually horrified recently when in the grocery check-out lane, Montana spotted a tabloid with a picture of a young girl from the show "toddlers and tiaras" and said "Mom I love her dress..."
Ready for dance class in her leotard and tights. So stinkin' cute!Thursday, October 6, 2011
Harvest
Like many people, fall is probably my favorite time of year. What is it about pumpkin, brisk days, and apple cider that is so darn heart-warming? Maybe the nostalgia or the excuse to be cozy? Whatever it is, I love it. But I also love the summer here in the Northwest and the availability of so much amazing produce. I was reminded this past week visiting my sister in Wyoming that we have it pretty good.
This summer Aar
on, Montana (although she mostly ate her weight in berries), and I picked 14 lbs of raspberries and 50 lbs of blueberries. I ordered a case of peaches, a case of pears, and a case of nectarines from a farm in Eastern Washington. We used several pounds of apples off of the trees at co-housing. I have had fun making jam, learning to can peaches, and making pear sauce. Our freezer is full of berries and our supply is quickly dwindling. Next summer we will have to pick more! We also bought a CSA (community supported agriculture) share and so every other week we get a box of organic goodness. I am so grateful for the abundant harvest.
Amos enjoying the abundance...beets and blueberries!

Stuff Runners Like
Last year about this time I decided that my post pregnancy goal would be to run the Bellingham Bay 1/2 Marathon. I did it! Aaron and I ran it together and it was a great time, despite the very blustery fall day. I was so glad that I followed through. While we were running we watched other runners to help pass the time and couldn't help but think of our version of "Stuff White People Like" and "Stuff Christians Like"....
Stuff Runners Like
Here's a few:
1. The farmer's blow on the side of the road
2. Wearing shirts from other races
3. Back handed compliments (Telling a fellow runner..."you're doing great" as you pass them up a hill)
4. Nasty power gels
5. Drinking cheap beer at 10am because it's free
6. Unique warm up routines
Do you have any to add??

Fashion Corner with Montana Faith
Another fashion moment brought to you by Montana Faith. She is digging the pant/tutu/t-shirt combo these days.By the way...
Is it normal for a 3 year old to beg her mother to go to the "kid clothes" section while grocery shopping at Fred Meyer? "I just want one thing, mom!" I replied with "NO!" because earlier in the week she picked out those pink shoes in the photo and begged me to buy them. Thankfully they were on clearance (and stinkin' adorable). Ah, my little shopper. She has been spending too much time channeling her Aunt Emily.
