October Snapshot

Or maybe I should call this post "October Snapshots," since I fear this might be a bit of a photo-dump post. But, well, no time like the present, right?

First, we've officially become one of those annoying homes that has a lawn flag. Worse, we fly a sporting-themed lawn flag. Suburban cliches, you slay me. With your cuteness.

Natalie had her follow-up with the ENT. Her hearing is fine; her listening, um, needs work. That, I suppose, isn't really a surgical problem . . . .

The friends go to school. As regards their listening, they spend a fair amount of time in time-out.

On a related note, I tried some mother-daughter yoga the other day:

Let's just say that, um, there was a lot more of Natalie announcing she was done and bored than listening to our breath and finding our zen. Maybe zumba would be a better exercise activity for us? 

Jacob in his resting pose:

Natalie ready for Pajama Day at school. Oh, yes, she is double-desserting in her pj choice.

Snuggles:

The lunch bunch:

Happy Boy:

 Jacob is pretty mobile these days.

He still prefers the army / stomach + forearm crawl to the traditional hands and knees approach, but he can really motor along on his belly!



Natalie built a sukkah in our bedroom. Let's just say her location and construction materials may have result in an, um, non-standard sukkah. But it's awesomely decorated - and very carefully balanced!

Beside the Natalie tree:

A cold day at the park:

We also went to a carnival celebrating the 60th anniversary of Jacob and Natalie's school.

That's all! Keep on hangin' on:
