Oops on the video

Ok, so the video won't load--the server seems to time-out before the full thing posts. So, I'll work on it this week and hopefully get it loaded soon. Stay tuned...

Autumnal Pleasures

One of the mixed blessings of living in an older, established neighborhood
are the quaint tree-lined streets. The trees on our street are very large
and FULL of leaves that never seem to stop dropping. We have an extremely
large oak tree in our front yard that is keeping us busy this fall. P
always wants to help, so we shot a video of her leaf-raking prowess (she is
getting quite adept at the task). If you listen closely, you can here
ask: "What is it/this?" It is her new phrase. Here are some
additional pics of P hanging out on the front step with her pumpkin and trying
on a jaunty new chapeau. No thoughts on what she'll be for Halloween yet;
stay tuned for updates...

More P and Politics

We have been making the rounds this week in support of Obama's campaign. On Saturday we were part of the record setting 100,000 crowd at Obama's St. Louis Rally. Tonight, we went to see Bill Clinton at a downtown high school. We made lots of new friends and P seemed to enjoy the excitement of the crowds. Here are some event pics. Don't forget to vote on Nov. 4th :)

Politics and Pigtails

It has been a busy couple of months and we've neglected our blog :( School has started back up and we are busy volunteering for the Obama campaign (Note: bringing a baby when you canvas immediately diffuses pissy McCain supporters and some will actually listen to you!). P's hair is finally getting long enough to enjoy some serious accessorizing! Check out the 3 pigtail/ponytail combo in these pics. We hope everyone is well!
