Walking and talking

Sula took her first few independent steps about two weeks ago. Everyday she gets a little better at mastering her balance. Soon she will be running.

What did you say?

Help, does anyone speak Sula?

Snow!?

This morning we woke up to snow. It's October.

The fall foliage hasn't even peaked yet here in Minneapolis and it is snowing. AND... more snow is in the forecast tomorrow. Crazy!

This morning I made the most out of this situation. I went for a walk and brought my new camera. I am learning fast and having fun. Here are the results!

Twin Cities Marathon

I always love watching the Twin Cities Marathon. With a delicious latte and cinnamon roll in hand from Lake Nokomis Coffee House, we walked down to Lake Nokomis before the first runners arrived. I REALLY wish I knew how to use my camera better for these action shots of the first runners.

A Beautiful Start to Autumn

Corey surprised me this week with a new Canon digital SLR, Rebel EOS T1i, camera. I got the play all weekend and here is a taste of the results!

The Brave Patient

Corey had outpatient surgery on his ankle on Friday. He was very brave and decided to not take general anesthesia, he was awake and observed the entire procedure. I think he should blog about the rest of his experience. He resting and doing fantastic!

Uncle David Hoffart's Retirement Party

Last Sunday, we went to celebrate uncle David's retirement at the Hoffart "farm" or "vineyard", I am not sure what to call it, maybe David's grand retirement project. The grapes were in their prime on this warm sunny afternoon. They tasted so good and I know that they will taste even better in a glass of wine.
