First haircut

Now that Halloween is over, Josie's "hockey hair" is no longer needed. We decided it was time for her first hair cut.











Josie was not so sure about this idea.
















Good thing Josie can't see my expression (nor has she seen Sweeney Todd [which involves a barber and murder and meat pies]). And, yes, I'm using "regular" scissors because I have no idea where we packed the nice haircutting scissors my mom sent.








How do you like my sassy new 'do?

The old apartment

We finally sold our Chicago apartment last week, to our great relief. But we have a lot of nice memories of Rockwell and Haddon:


Moving in...
























A marching band...





















The corner store in the snow...




















Cats...








































Solana and Ben...


































Wedding day...





















Josie and friends...
































Goodbye, Haddon street!

Send bail money...and crunchies.

Josie was not too happy to have her passport photo taken. Don't be surprised if you see these show up on celebrity mug shot web sites soon.

Walking home from Plum

Josie chooses walking over strolling on the way home from Plum Market on Saturday.
















Hey, look at these leaves that I found.

















I think I'll help Daddy push this stroller.

Good morning, sunshine!

Nope...I don't do mornings.

















This picture is just kind of freaky.

















OK, now I'm dressed and I've had my morning crunchies and ready to face the day!

A trip to the Arb

The Nichols Arboretum (aka "the Arb") is a woodsy trail area over by the Huron River. The weather was so nice today we just couldn't stay away--hard to believe it was almost 70 degrees in November.















Josie enjoyed strolling and looking at nature.

















Josie's Michigan sweatshirt is hiding the kitty cat on the pocket of the shirt she's wearing underneath.
















Josie takes a break from her nature walk.

















Josie taking off into a nature run.

















Casually leaning on a rock holding her favorite ball.












Mmmm...that sippy cup hits the spot...back to my nature walk!

















This Arb is nice!

On the Diag...





























Pushing the stroller...















Done pushing!















Philosophy!

A Fun New Game

Up...
















Up!















Down!

Official seal of Josie-approval

Thumbs-up to mittens!

Around the neighborhood

Taking a break at the top of the steps up to the slide.












Our next-door neighbors did up their yard for Halloween. Josie thought the skeletons were funny.

Forever in blue jeans

Are you lookin' at me?













Pairing a jean jacket with jeans is often considered a fashion faux-pas, but I think the result is kind of cute even if she does look like she's heading out to a kegger in the woods circa 1987.
