Fall update

Happy Fall! Hope everyone is doing well. We have a great big maple tree in our backyard that is midway through losing its leaves. Marek is having a ball playing with them, jumping in them...and as you will see below - being buried in them. We even started a book for him with his first leaf collection.





Today he also headed to the annual model railroad show at the library. He just loved it! There were all different scales of trains and he was mesmerized. I can't wait to build a layout with him when he is older! Uncle Kevin will have to give us some tips.





For those of you who haven't heard...our Halloween was not too eventful this year, as Marek decided he didn't want to wear his costume. [Anyone need a lion or chick costume? :) ] He did head to the Halloween party downtown, but it was "too noisy" and he wanted to leave early. He went to the downtown trick-or-treating with Grandma and me on his walk to the toy store, but only wanted one piece of candy. I think the costumes actually frightened him this year. But that's ok! We just went out for pizza, then headed home for an early bedtime. He had skipped his nap earlier, so that may have accounted for some of it! But it was a good day anyway!

We are all doing really well...very busy these days (as you can guess by the lack of regular posts here!). I'm heading to a conference in Chicago next week and will be missing my little guy like crazy then! But the conference should be interesting, too. I hope everyone is doing well these days and we will be in touch soon! Love to all.
