A few shots from late Nov/early Dec

Josie sports a tasteful touch of zebra--her jeans have two zebras on them as well as a zebra belt.
















The local downtown garden store had a holiday party the other day. Josie was having none of Santa, but did agree to take this orange from Mrs. Claus and carried it around for the rest of the morning.














I don't know where we were headed in this shot, but Josie was happy to show me that Cat in the Hat was ready to go.*

*on a somewhat related note, Josie can say some basic two word sentences now, like "Go, keee!" and "Riiii, keeekeee!" (loosely translated: Go, Kitty! and Ride, Kitty!) thanks to one of her favorite videos on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6H6CcGiuFo)

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!

Some November portraits

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!
