Happy 3rd to Lyla!

We had a wonderful trip to Chicago this weekend to celebrate Lyla's THIRD birthday. Lots of photos to come of that soon. And just realized I never posted this video to the blog...

Bluegrass for Babies

Cincinnati has been impressing us lately. Certainly there are other decidedly more-hip cities that spring to mind, but Cincy has been holding it's own lately. I posted a quick bit about the Bluegrass for Babies concert last weekend, and I finally had a chance to update the blog with something more than my cellphone pictures. Bluegrass for Babies - equal parts fundraiser for Children's Hospital, great live bluegrass music, loads of families, kids-activities, yummy (healthy!) food and sunshine. Really, what better way is there to spend a fall evening? As added bonuses - they had a ton of hula hoops just lying around & Josie found her bestie Lucia within five minutes of arriving. Good times. Great memories.

Here's a scan of the scene:



And some snaps of all the fun:

And...they played "Wagon Wheel" (which may or may not have been the result of a certain mom putting in a special request on a certain facebook page):

Necessary to balance out previous post. (Oh how I miss our sunflowers. We called this one "the king.")

Hula Hoop Art

Here is Josie's recent school journal entry, depicting her evening of hula hooping with her best buddy Lucia at the "Bluegrass for Babies" concert. Too cute!

Parent \ Child Work Day

This afternoon we got to hang out with Josie at her montessori school while she shared her favorite works with us. She really enjoyed being our teacher, and we really enjoyed being her students. (Boy do we love her school!)

Brrrr!

And just like that, bedtime in our house requires wool again.
