This year, Lily dressed up as a princess for Halloween, and she just loved her dress and wand! We took her to an SPCA event for the day, complete with treats for both children and dogs. Seeing the little puppies all dressed up was probably more exciting to Lily than the candy and games. Here is a picture with one of the dogs:
And here is Lily playing pin the nose on the pumpkin:
And here are some other photos from the day:
With fall foliage upon us in Central Virginia, we took our annual trip to Skyline Drive this weekend to see the beautiful changing leaves. Lily enjoyed running around outside and playing in the grass, while Jon and I enjoyed taking way too many pictures with our new camera! Here is a little slide show from the day:
Just last weekend, Jon's younger brother, Tim, got married. The wedding was absolutely perfect! Christina (the bride) looked beautiful, the weather was great, and the reception was just so much fun.
Lily was a flower girl, along with her cousin Ally, and she did a pretty decent job. I did have to walk her down the isle, but at least there were no temper tantrums!
The Fortney family went to an apple festival this weekend in Charlottesville. Lily got to pick her own apples right from the tree, choose her own pumpkin to take home, and eat some homemade apple donuts. And I guess I ate more than my fair share of donuts as well!
Jon and I took Lily to make apple butter at her Grandma's and Great-Grandma's church this weekend. Jon made the mixing look quite easy: 
Lily's cousin, Anna, came for a visit recently. The two of them "played" together very nicely! Here is a little clip of the two of them together:
Since we have to start making room for a new little baby, we decided to move Lily into the bigger bedroom (formally the guest room) and let the baby have the smaller room. Lily moved into her "big girl room" this week and really likes it! We just hope she is still happy when the new baby moves into her old room.
