It's the little things

This past weekend we spent some time working in the garage and getting it cleaned up. Now, for the first time since we moved here, we have both cars parked in the garage. I tell you what, it's the little things in life that can really make you happy. Not having to scrape windows is such a nice thing. Plus, now we have an "extra" parking spot next to our garage for guests - hint, hint.

Halloween Preview and "Boo at the Zoo"

Yesterday we ventured out to the Lake Superior Zoo for a fun Halloween event called "Boo at the Zoo." I heard about the event from a couple of co-workers who reommended it as a fun kids event for Halloween. We were grateful for the sun to have returned as most of the activities/exhibits were outdoors. Even though Isaac won't enjoy the trick-or-treating aspect of Halloween this year (save for mayyybe a bite or two of some candy), we still dressed him up in his costume (could be interepreted as a dragon, lizard, crocodile, alligator - we can't decide). See for yourself...

Fall is in the Air

The fall colors have peaked here in Duluth, and we have enjoyed many of the beautiful trees in and around our community of Lakeside. We don't always have our camera (while driving) to snap some photos, but we did manage to get out and take a brisk afternoon walk today despite the colder weather and were able to get a few pictures. You'll also see our remedy for keeping Isaac warm and cozy despite the cooler weather. As Joel reminded me earlier today (when contemplating whether or not we should take a walk), we are Duluthians now, after all (so we'd better dress accordingly and get outside anyway)!

First Snow in Duluth

As many Minnesotans did, we awoke on Saturday morning to find our first snow of the season. Even though the snow disappeared by mid-afternoon, we'll remember the excitement we felt and will remember it through these few pictures:

Uh-Oh!

Isaac's vocabulary is increasing every day. One of his latest words is "uh-oh!" He will purposely drop things on the floor just so that he can say "uh-oh!" We captured this short video so you can see for yourself. You'll notice he had been enjoying some yogurt (as evidenced by the messy face) while he started throwing his spoon on the floor to practice his new phrase. We think it's pretty cute. Enjoy! :-)
