Going for a stroll

Before you get all excited, no, Nate can't quite walk yet. He can roll over in a most threatening way, and sometimes push himself under a chair, but we've got a ways to go before he walks. That said, there's no rule against a little parental assistance now and then.



(Note for the record his political affiliation, if not his tree-trunk legs.)

School Picture Day

Sadly Nate does not get his school picture taken until he actually goes to school.

I said I was doing statistics today and it was sort of true.

I don't think it is quite accurate, but it's pretty fun.

An LL Bean catalog autumn

What would the fall be without a cute little girl playing in the leaves?

All your Pears are mine

Keep your fingers away from his mouth. He'll eat whatever he can grab these days.

I'm gonna get you Sukkah*

Now were not the most observant people in the world, but given an opportunity to buy some lumber and design a temporary structure in the back yard, well that's a challenge I can sink my teeth into. So a quick run to Home Depot, with a very slow drive home with loose lumber tied to the roof of our car, we had some friends over for an old fashion Sukkah raising. We'll try to decorate it a bit more each night, but if the weather holds out, we've got a sweet new space to eat dinner in.



*(For all your Sukkah questions)

(Update - a more respectably decorated sukkah)

Leaf Peeping

Nothing quite like a trip to New Hampshire in early October to make you appreciate New England in the Fall. The Crew tromped up to visit Aunt Janine on Saturday for a night at her farm, see the colors, a crystal clear night sky, and plenty of friendly cows. And should they come away with happy memories of an Ivy League college campus, well we can live with that I suppose.
