Genevieve's first snow

This Friday night we got our first snow. It was only about 3 inches, but it has stuck around all weekend, and knocked most of the leaves from the trees. It is a very helpful reminder that winter is almost here. It was also Genevieve's first snow.


We often sit Genevieve in her swing in the kitchen while cooking or cleaning. She likes it OK, but she much prefers being held. I've also set her in her car seat on the counter, which she seems to like better because she has a bird's eye view of activity in the kitchen.

Speaking of cooking, Dana has been trying to help me find better things to cook for Alex than macaroni and cheese on nights she has class. Last week I came home to find this do-it-yourself, cook-by-numbers arrangement:
It worked perfectly!

Alex has been enjoying the change in weather, even if it limits his outdoor time a little bit.

Waiting for dinner...

Genevieve has been working on talking. Here is a video of her chatting with me and Dana

Such a cute picture of Daddy and Alex waiting for dinner! I cringe about the mistakes I made, knitting Alex's sweater, especially the arm-length - like I said, I learned a lot knitting it!

Re: cooking by numbers. I wonder if that would help me. Probably not, I have trouble boiling water!
CUTE video of Baby G! I loved it! Post more, please.

How the heck has she gotten so big so fast?! I can't wait to chat with Ms. Genevieve myself in 2 weeks - she will probably be reciting Shakespeare by then!

Love,
