Dancing Maniac

This morning we had the pleasure of watching my cousin Marissa get confirmed. I am so proud of her and her many achievements, including the latest today. During the service, we sang a number of hymns accompanied by a live band. Our little guy really enjoyed the music. He was rockin' and rollin' and acting like a dancing maniac throughout the whole service. He must have tired himself out though because he seemed to sleep through almost the whole afternoon. After the service, we had lunch together as a family at my Aunt and Uncle's house. Since we all have very busy lives, we don't see enough of each other. Every time we part, I find myself saying we really should get together more often.

New Belly Bump Photos

In honor of the growing belly and the beautiful fall colors, we took a walk through Como Park today and shot a few photographs. It's always fun trooping through the park with the photography gear, setting up the camera on the tripod, lining up the shot and all the while trying to ignore the onlookers staring at us wondering what in the world we are doing. We weren't alone in our search for the perfect autumn photograph though, we encountered both a couple taking engagement photos and a wedding party taking shots near the Conservatory.





It's been a warm, rainy fall. The results has been lush green grass and gorgeous red and blaze orange leaves on the trees. Fortunately, the fall showers have not been accompanied by too many strong winds. While some of the trees are slightly bare, most of the trees continue to cling to their colorful leaves.



We're looking forward to next year, watching our little guy experience the falling leaves for the first time. We look forward to many photographs of the little one amongst the colorful leaves.
