November

In November, Julia started eating more finger foods and standing by herself. We went to Charleston for Thanksgiving, but also to say goodbye to our beloved Mama Jean.

Yummy cracker!

What Happened to 2011?

OK, so I cannot believe it's been 3 MONTHS since I last posted! I'm so sorry! We've been so busy but had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! I'll try to post some of the best pictures of the last few months, starting with October. Enjoy!

October was such a fun month for us! In addition to Julia being baptised, we also took a trip to Snowshoe and enjoyed a gorgeous long weekend full of colorful foliage, warm weather and fun activity. We took a ride on the train at Cass, rode on the chairlift to the lake at the bottom of the mountain, went paddleboating, played on the pirate ship playground and watched a lot of bikers.

Julia loved her first train ride - she was asleep by the end!

Eric still talks about taking the train - I'm sure we'll be riding it much more!

At 7 months, Julia was learning more about her surroundings and was becoming especially fond of Bailey!

We were outside a lot, going on hikes and enjoying the cool sunshine
Such a happy girl!

At Halloween, we had lots of parties and lots of dressing up.. Here is Tinkerbell! And our handsome Captain Hook

Peekaboo!

One of the best days was when we went to Leeds Farm. Here, Eric rides on the banana bus. He also rode the kids zip line, jumped on the giant pumpkin and rode the tractor bike (below). We (Marisa & Tim) got to go on the big zip line - such a fun fun day!
Julia's camoflauged!
Eric on the zip line - this was probably the 15th time he went

How cool are these?! Eric did great! Kept up with the big kids! Baby pumpkin

Happy Halloween!
