'Recent' happenings

Ellsey had her first Halloween and the Boersma family went as "Angry Birds."  How do we compare to the real thing?

Ellsey really enjoys her squash!

Ellsey also enjoys her bouncy seat!

She has been working on crawling too!

We also discovered a tooth in her mouth, but don't have a photo or video of that because she seems quite protective of her little 'toofer'.

And probably the most exciting milestone of the last month or so is this:

Fall!

 We went to Center Grove Orchard with Grandpa and Grandma Gunderson and Uncle Doug and Aunt Alicia - it was a beautiful fall day and there was tons to do!

Corn Pool

Corn maze with Daddy!

Hay ride!

It was a fun day

Biker babe

I (Nic) was doing some research and found that in Iowa, there is no age limit for motorcycle passengers.  I think we will get Ellsey started pretty soon on riding the motorcycle.  I have been working on mounting the car seat to the back or modifying the saddle bags to hold her.  Here are some pics of Ellsey enjoying her first sit on the bike.
