HappyThanksgiving

We hope that everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving. We had a nice laid back day. Aunt Susie came over and made a Thanksgiving dinner (with a little help from me) which was way too much food for the four of us, especially since Ellie didn't eat any of it. Well, actually Ellie did have some cranberry sauce...

Happy Thanksgiving!

9 Months Old!!

Time for dolphin pictures!

Okay.. I'm done with dolphin pictures now.. I wanna go to bed.

The fact that we did dolphin photos, in her pajamas, lets you know it was that kind of day...

No!! Ellen, No!!

Life with a mobile, quick, likes to pull up on anything, almost 9-month-old is something else. Ellie is curious and loves her new vantage point when she pulls up on a piece of furniture or person. However, we find ourselves telling Ellie, No! much more often. Just a few examples...

"Ellen! Stay off the wine rack!"

"Ellie...don't eat the remote!"

"Ellen! No! Do not put your fingers in the VCR!"

"Ellie...hey...well, okay, you cn explore the new cabinets"

And no, by taking these photos we do not feel we are encouraging this behavior. She is going to pull up, grab, taste, and exlore as she is a curious child (aren't they all?).

Our Halloween

So I know we are a couple weeks late...but I figured I would share some photos of our Halloween fun.

So Nick and I decided to dress up as a farmer and the farmer's wife. We participated in the children's parade at the monument (along with hundreds of other kids!). We could not have asked for better weather. Then we did a little trick or treating on the way home. Ellie wasn't quite sure what to make of her loot, but she knew she really wanted it!
