This is Life!: Revolutions Around the Cruciform Axis

The Fatherhood Chronicles XLIX

The following are some photos from our trip a week and a half ago to Goebbert's Pumpkin Farms.

Here's momma and Sofie looking at the chickens. Sofie was particularly enamoured of the lightning-quick chicks.

Me and Sofie with llamas. Sofie liked the llamas best of all. She likes big dogs--Jeff and Catherine's Sydney, Mitch and Denise's Zack--so I wonder if she thought they were unusually large dogs.

Yep. That's Sofie grabbing a teat. A fake one, to be sure. But we have another picture (not as good quality) that shows her squatted down both hands grabbing rubber teats and trying to milk. You go little farmgirl!

Sofie in the midst of a bunch of pumpkins.

This one makes me tear up especially. Sofie's getting independent, which means she's going to spend the next several years walking away from me. Sigh. It's necessary, I know, so that she can walk right back. But the walking away still doesn't feel all that good.
