While it lasted...

This was her costume at the music together Halloween party. Couldn't get a good shot. We saved her real costume for the outdoors tonight.

Ready for anything

It went from 78 degrees to the 40s this week. Fortunately we have several pairs of mittens and Rikki was pretty fascinated by them this week.

Goodbye summer

After 78 degrees on Monday it is getting chilly and windy. On Weds we lost Rikki's first pair of mittens to a big gust. A gentleman chased them across Michigan Ave while I hung on to the stroller, but no luck....

Remembering Pops ....

Or Rikki meets Dickie. We spent last weekend in Ytown for my dad's unveiling. We were sad that he is gone, and we hope he knows what a fine new granddaughter he has. (In addition to his fine grandkids in DC).

Father daughter walk

While on our travels, we stopped in Pittsburgh to visit the Jenkins. Mom and Linda met us there. Here are Rikki and Davis strolling the grounds of the Frick Museum, where we had a lovely lunch.

Going to school

Max took his baby cousin on a tour of his new school, where she gave fist bumps to all of his teachers and his classmates. Max showed her his fist bumping technique. She was also especially fond of the steps.

Aunt

It's cool to have an aunt, but especially one who looks so much like my mom.

I'm holding my bowl sideways so that everyone can see all of my strawberries - or at least the ones that haven't spilled on the floor. Uh-oh!
