♥♥♥ Baby's first birthday ♥♥♥

This baby girl having her first birthday party is my little second cousin twice removed. (I had to consult wikipedia's page on cousins to know what degree of cousins we are.) 

Her cake was adorable and really delicious.

Purple dress with flowers = soo darling.

An old-fashioned baby piano!

So how exactly are you related if you are second cousins twice removed? Well, for me and this little doll here,  it means that Rebecca and her husband David (who was born around 1868, possibly on May 23rd) are the ancestors we have in common. David was my great-grandfather and would be her great-great-great grandfather. I hope I am getting that right. I've heard my mom talk a lot about her grandfather David and while I never got to meet David, he must have been a very wonderful grandfather, my mom has so many sweet stories about him.

♥♥♥♥ Happy Birthday Baby K!!! We had so much fun at your party! :)♥♥♥♥

(((Pumpkins!)))

Just down the road from my house there is a pumpkin patch. The couple who run it stay in the RV pictured below. A few weeks after Halloween, they turn it into a Christmas tree lot. I went down there to take photos and get a pumpkin. I had the tilt shift lens on my camera, so when the lady who runs the lot wanted to take a photo of me with my pumpkin, it came out a little blurry, but that is okay, I am glad to have a record of me and my super cute pumpkin.

King Pumpkin! I got the one in the foreground, for obvious reasons.

I mean, isn't that the prettiest pumpkin you have ever seen? 

Some day I want to do portraits in a pumpkin patch.
