Tuba Lesson

We got Paul's mouthpiece for his tuba today. So of course he had to bring it out for Natalie to play with. She calls it "Dada's toy". So funny trying to get her to blow in it..we told her to blow bubbles. Mostly she talked into it!

Even Grown-Ups Need Toys

So..I got my Christmas present early....a new range! It has 2..yes 2..ovens. The top oven was able to preheat to 400 in less than 5 minutes..and it was actually at 400! The oven that came with our house was off by about 50-55 degrees and cycled on and off during the baking. NOT a good thing when baking. Basically the bottom of things was well done and the top was medium rare...and I'm talking about muffins not steak! Can't wait to do Thanksgiving in this stove and Natalie's 2 birthday cakes for her party, cookies for her class, and smash cake for her actual birthday! Here are some pictures along with the microwave that Paul and his dad installed when we first moved into the house!

Halloween and the Spooky Trail at Kalmia Gardens


We went to the Spooky Trail at Kalmia Gardens. We went early so it wouldn't be dark when we went through but Natalie still clung to Paul's shirt.

They had an inflatable "cemetary" when you entered the trail and Natalie kept saying "scare" but then wouldn't stop staring at it!

By the end of our time there, she was waving hello to the "cemetary"!!

On Halloween, the Browns invited us over to their house! We had a wonderful time hanging out and watching the kids coming trick or treating. Natalie kept trying to steal the candy from the bowls!

Here she is trying to shove M&Ms in her mouth along with her lollipop!
