Big boy bed

We had some fun firsts this weekend.  Aaron spent the last few days getting used to his new big boy bed, and Talia is trying to figure out Cheerios.  Pics here.  Aaron also continues to enjoy playing soccer every weekend.   

Fall into fall

As cooler weather creeps in and the leaves start to change, things have been busy in our neck of the woods. Katie has been back at work for about a month, and Talia is adjusting well to day care. (Mom is still a work in progress.) Aaron visits his sister's class every day to say hi and looks out for her on the playground.

Lory and Katie spent a weekend (sans kids!) in Ann Arbor with friends. We felt like we were in college again, minus the sleep deprivation and low tolerance, of course. We also celebrated the high holidays as a family and enjoyed a visit from Mimi and Poppa, who came to DC for Rosh Hashanah. Pictures here.

Thinking about crawling

We're getting close to full-on mobility here. Heaven help us...

Soccer star

Fall is here, and Aaron -- like every other kid in Northwest Washington -- is playing soccer. He took to his first experience with organized sports quite well, although the highlight of the day seemed to be drinking from a water bottle.

More from Michigan

Here are some additional pictures from our time in Michigan. These photos are brought to you by Aunt Megan, with tons more pics on cousin David's blog and cousin Kate's blog. We are already counting the days until next summer!

Laughs all around

Nobody makes Talia as happy as her big brother. Example below.

Michigan mania

We just returned from a month at Grandma and Grandpa's house in northern Michigan, and what a fabulous month it was. We passed our days swimming, playing, and spending time with family, including Aaron and Talia's two new baby cousins. Three babies + one toddler = never a dull moment. We wouldn't have it any other way! Pictures of our month in Michigan are here.
