October - December 2007

In October, we got dressed up in costumes (thanks Sarah and Anna F.) and went to the "zoo-boo" at the Indianapolis Zoo. November included our Kindermusik recital, a trip to Seattle and Thanksgiving with Granny and Grandpa. We got a big snow in December, but it mostly melted before we went to Cincinnati to celebrate Christmas. With no snow, we went sliding on Christmas day instead of sledding.

July - September 2007

We spent some time this summer visiting Granny and Grandpa in Cincinnati; they had a little swimming pool just for us. We also took a big trip in the minivan out to see Kevin and his family in Vermont.

April - June 2007

It got warm in early April (followed by snow!). Grandma Fern came to visit in early May; we had lots of fun with her. Once Daddy was done teaching classes, we got to take some trips. We visited Nebraska and South Dakota to see lots of family. We took Mommy and Daddy to Chicago. Also, one of Daddy's graduate students invited us to his wedding, so we got dressed up for that.

January - March 2007

January found us in Tucson for an extended visit while Dad went to a conference. Mom said something about "boondoggle", but we're not sure what that means. We also got up to the Phoenix area to visit friends. In March, we had our birthday, so now we are two.
