Laura’s Birthday in December

In April AJ gave me a birthday present of taking a glass class at the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio.  However, at the time I was pregnant and thought that it was probably a bad idea for me to be anywhere near the hot house.  So I decided to wait until after Alex was born to go to a class.  They had a ‘blow your own ornament’ class so AJ and I took that class today.  Here are the pictures of our process.  The ornaments need a few days to cool and then we’ll update this page with the finished product.

Fall Photos

Here are the photos we had done for our Christmas card this year.

Playing in the Leaves

Today I cleaned up the leaves in the yard with Brooke’s help.  Alex even came and joined us for a bit.  Brooke loved jumping and climbing in the leaves, and even sharing them with Alex.  As you can see, Brooke is getting ready for Halloween by carrying her trick-or-treat basket with her.

Yearly Daddy-Daughter Photo

Now going on three years, every fall Brooke and I take a photo together.  Below are the three in order.

Splish Splash

Yesterday it rained all day, so we stayed in for the morning.  After Brooke’s nap though we all went outside and splashed around in the rain and puddles.  Even Alex came outside with Laura (although they did stay in the cover of the garage).  I don’t know if you can tell, but Brooke is really happy to be outside in the rain.
