Thanksgiving

We have just celebrated the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving with some friends on Thursday evening - lots of turkey and pumpkin pie for everyone. But the most important part of the holiday is the Friday morning shopping - known as Black Friday since this is supposedly the one day of the year that makes a difference between a yearly profit and loss. Alex and Daddy had quality time at home while Mummy tackled the crowds. And here she is with the spoils of the day!

And before she's even two she makes it into the local rag. Wearing a skirt her Auntie Chelle bought her and sporting plaits and a bag that she refused to leave a shop without, Alex really enjoys herself at the local library story time.
Follows in her mummy's footsteps.

Potty Training

Well, after having a potty in the bathroom for the past week, Alex has done her first "pooh-yeah" in it - SUCCESS. Well, until next time at least. Here is a photo taken early in the week when the potty was a novelty. She just liked to sit on it like mummy and daddy did on the toilet. Only today, she actually did a "pooh-yeah"!

Snow before Thanksgiving!

Well - only a few days after Chelle left for the Australian summer, we have seen our first snowfall of the year. The sun is still shining, there is no snow left on the ground, and Alex got really, really cold.

Luckily she was wearing her super-warm red coat (the same one I and my siblings have worn) so it was just her fingers that got cold.

In this photo it's hard to see the snow as it is falling, but it is there!

The beginning

Hi everyone.

We've decided to try blogging to see how it helps viewing of pictures. I'm still checking it out, so please bear with me - my next effort will be attaching some photos. So stay tuned! Meanwhile, here's a photo of Alex being pulled in a wagon through the pumpkin patch by her Auntie Chelle a couple of weeks ago.
