... FINALLY!

Okay, these aren't in any specific order... I need that time for the fam rather than perfecting the post.

Me, Elayna Vaye, and Diane outside of Madigan Hospital


Madigal Hospital


This is the view from Madigan's OB floor. You can barely make out Mount Rainier past the flag post. I'll have to take another picture when the sky isn't cloudy.

Yeah, I know this one's sideways. Don't wanna take the time to fix it.


I LOVE IT. She's been giving us these gummy grins for quite awhile and I never have been able to catch it on camera. Yesterday, she was giving them left and right.



She reminds me of a koala... except not so stinky. When you hold her, sometimes she'll wrap her arm around you.




Randy, EV, and Renee. This was typical the week they visited. Everyone had smiles except little Elayna.

This is Ron Roloff talking to Ryan. While Randy and Renee were here, we visited the Roloff Farm to get a pumpkin. We went on the tour and were able to browse through the western town. We spent the majority of the time speaking with Matt Roloff's parents, Ron & Peggy Roloff. They have a fascinating family history, with influences in American history and the military. There was also a camera crew at the western town and we were in some of their footage. Peggy and Molly informed us that some of the camera crew were from Paducah, Kentucky. After signing our releases, we headed home. About an hour into the drive, we get a call from Granny (who was staying at Randy & Renee's while they were out of town). She said Little People Big World's producer had called and wanted to know if we were still on the farm. He wanted to meet us! Oh well, maybe next time.



Someone was generous enough to loan us an umbrella when it started to rain during the tour.


Here's the family with Amy Roloff.



We're waiting in line for the tour, taking pictures and chowing down on kettlecorn (the good kind).



I was worried she would get cold... but she's looking pretty snug with her Daddy.



There were a few new attractions at the Roloff Farm since last year's visit. They added a second, scenic tour as well as an animal house (which had all types of small mammals and reptiles) and fun house. The fun house was under Sven's charge. He created all sorts of pumpkin people in their daily activities within the home. The last "room" was lit with black lights. It's Matt Roloff with his pumpkins.




We've just arrived on the farm.
