Brother and Sister

It's the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and Rachael is helping watch Slane because mom had a rough night.

Thanksgiving

Grandpa G & Slane.

Autumn Sky

Morning of November 13, 2008.
Wow it turned cold! Winter is about a month away, but we have the coats out.

Scioto Audubon Park

Wow! Sunny today, but not yet above 30 degrees.

Fall

Well the beautiful fall colors are almost gone and we are seeing a lot of grey.
It actually snowed today. Enough to stick to the roof of the carriaghouse.

Cooking

Rachael likes to help us cook.
Teresa said I should let her crack eggs, because she is so good at it.
It became clear this was one of those little tricks couples play on each other.
Rach doesn't so much crack an egg as she does squeeze it till it smashes.

Slane

Slane had a check up today.
Heeis 10 lbs 3 oz, but still only sleeping 2-3 hours at a stretch.

No TV

Call Children's Services! I turned off the TV & ignored my daughter's screams of displeasure.
As you can see she not only lived but is enjoying herself!

Slane

Teresa is working in her studio, Rach is playing & Slane is sleeping in his buzz chair.

Scioto Audubon Park

Not a sunny morning, but indicative of fall.
Rachael & I already walked to the grocery, Slane's formula was on sale.
Later Rachael & I are going to Babies R Us later to get letters for her room to spell her name. Before that I need to hit a couple of tenants up for rent.

Energy

It's Friday night & Rachael has more energy than either of us.
I won't be up past 9, she is wearing a grove in the floor running around.

In The Leaves

Rachael's cousins are lucky enough to have a yard with trees and leaf piles in the fall.
Rachael's dad is lucky enough to have none of the above mentioned items.
