A Day at the Circus

Jimmy's first circus (and mine and Grampy's) last Sunday was great fun. But if you ask Jimmy what he liked the most, he'll say it was the planes, meaning the planes flying right over the All State Arena on their way to O'Hare! The planes were cool, but the circus was exciting too. Jimmy did seem to like all of it, especially the music.

Jumping Leaves

Jimmy had plenty of fun the other weekend raking leaves with Dad. They spent a good part of the afternoon outside, but this year Daddy got to use his new leaf blower--so this annual ritual was much easier on the arms.

Learning(?) to Grab Things . . .

Below is an old video of Josie (really, just a few weeks "old") where she's trying to grab a toy. The photo at left was taken yesterday; in it, Josie has actually learned to grasp a link, but then she kind of let go of it. It didn't seem to bother her that she left it on her head.

More Halloween Pics

Here's me and Jimmy, just getting started on trick-or-treating. Jimmy wanted to be a pumpkin again, and thankfully the costume I sewed for him last year still fit--even the hat! I've got my usual bat wings on.
