Attia's Eight Month Photo Shoot



At the beginning of November Attia and I did her eight month photo shoot. The weather was great and the leaves and fall colors were beautiful. A perfect combination for one last outdoor photo shoot for the year! Attia thought it was great a good idea also, because as we know, she loves to play with leaves - and apparently pumpkins are fun too!

Let the Good Times Roll, Part 2: October

     Like I said, October was a busy month for us and we had a lot of good times that haven't made it on the blog yet. We had family in from out of town a couple times during the month, and it was a lot of fun getting to see everyone!

     At the beginning of the month Austin's sister Abby, her husband Adrian, and our nephew Linus made a trip to Kansas from their home in North Carolina. We are always excited to see them, but we were extra excited this time because Abby is pregnant with baby number two! While they were here Heidi threw a Baby 'Sprinkle' for her. As always, Heidi threw a great party. There was tasty food, cute decorations, and she had supplies for us to make personalized onsies for Miss E., which was very cute. It was a lot of fun visiting with everyone and getting to see Abby's baby belly!



Attia even made a new friend :-)




That same weekend Austin road Octoginta, the annual 80 mile ride and time trial sponsored by Lawrence Bicycle Club. This is Austin's second year in a row to participate. 







The following week my mom and D. came in for a visit. They were very excited to see Attia for the first time in several months and it was a lot of fun having them in town. After they were here for a couple of days my brother joined the party. He was just finishing up a road trip across the southwest/southern midwest, and was on his way back home to Boulder, CO. It was really nice that they were all able to be here together!










And then of course there were the random good times just hanging out and playing. Attia continues to learn new skills and enjoy new things all the time. 

By the end of the month she was even playing the piano! She loves to sit with us and play on the keyboard, and sometimes she even tries to hit the keys that we hit. Maybe she will take lessons like her mommy?





 



Let the good times roll...
