This week..
-- we took family pictures! It was 55 degrees right before sunset so poor Elle was shivering with rosy cheeks by the end. She was such a good sport! We only had to bribe her with fruit snacks once to get her to stand in a specific spot. We have thousands of pictures of Elle but it will be great to have some formal photos of the three of us!
-- our contractor poured footings for our covered deck and fireplace! We wanted to maximize our outdoor space but the west sun is pretty intense on our deck in the evenings (basically the only time we're out there!). We've talked about a roof for a while, but of course, if we're going to do a project I'll find a way to make it even better. Furniture is going to be the slowest part so we may be enjoying it in bag-chairs - but it will be such a nice space when it's finished!
-- Elle had a cough this week and we successfully bribed her to take a cough syrup with dark chocolate. She's a fan like her mama. She can now pull the freezer drawer open (using all of her body weight - but effective!) and pulls ice cream out multiple times a day. She is loving all the pumpkins around town and can point them all out in her books too. Before bed, we still read books but she also stretches and grunts pretending to reach the top shelf in her room where her stuffed lion sits (a gift from Uncle Evan from his trip to Mexico!). She insists on growling and playing with it before she'll willingly go to bed.

Krista
