Young and Old

This past weekend we kept pretty busy with this little girl ... 4 1/2 months old and such a real person now! She's strong, inquisitive, alert, observant ... and drools a lot ...

Her smiles melt my heart.

She can be very serious. Very.

She loves to swat at her toys - and talk to them.

She's full of sugar and spice and everything nice!

And now for the old part of the weekend. We drove downtown to find the Nina and the Pinta or whatever they're named ... docked at the riverfront for a week or so. We were too cheap to pay to go on board. Kind of evil, pirate-y looking boats, they were! So that was a short visit.

Then we found Rte. 50 West out of downtown and wandered quite a way into the setting sun. We saw this sad but beautiful old church just off to the side and had to check it out.

I imagine it was a good German-Catholic church back in the day.

Someone in the neighborhood felt it appropriate to dump a mattress off to the side of the church. Interesting in its own rusty way.

Now that fall is upon us we're hoping to take some drives out into the country and find all the colors of the season ... stay tuned ...
