I was chastised for going an entire week without updating last night. I know. I’m a bad, bad father. (Thanks, Leah!)
There are a few great ones in this collection. Emma is now Mommy’s little helper at the grocery store. She’ll cross things off the list and make sure that Marla buys everthing we need… and more.
This year we are having a “holiday bush” rather than just a Christmas tree. What’s the difference you might ask? We’re celebrating TWO holidays, of course! Hanukkah and Christmas are always very close together so we’ve decided to make the tree a celebration of both. (Sandy Goldstein be damned.)
Emma is becoming more and more self-sufficient these days. She’s able to entertain herself pretty well coloring, reading or feeding her Baby. It sure makes life easier when Marla is fixing dinner or taking a rare moment to relax. (I stress rare, though.)
I know, I know. November is coming to an end but I’m just now catching up with photos from October. The high price of shooting lots of pictures, I suppose.
We had a rare storm sweep into Southern California from the NE this past weekend. Our weather usually comes from the warm Pacific, but this storm brought chilly weather from the mountains our way. When we woke Sunday morning we were greeted by snow on Saddleback Mountain – a rare sight in Orange County!
A few weeks ago we had an amazing deluge of rain. Marla, still a Seattleite to the core, decided it was high time that her daughter take a little “sprinkle walk” and learn just how wonderful the rain can be.
We took a short trip up to the fountain one afternoon a few weeks ago. This is the same one we visited in July, you may remember. Seems like I even took a few of the same shots without realizing it!
Emma has been enjoying Burnout 3 right alongside me for the past few months. She calls it “the race car game” and demands that it be played several times a week.
So the big day has come and gone, and Halloween 2004 was a great success! We had fun last year, of course, but this year we were really looking forward to trick-or-treating – Emma included.
A quick group of shots from the end of September and the beginning of October and I’m nearly caught up. It’s amazing what not being around will do to hamper your rate of picture taking.
