We had a nice warm night last week, so we scooped up Jude and took him to see our neighbor's lights. This family goes all out every year to raise money for the local children's hospital. It's pretty mind-numbing.
It's getting harder and harder to get decent tub shots as Jude grows up. Luckily, he's just as cute as ever, suds and all!
Hold on to the handlebar tight, Mommy! Don't let me fall!
Be careful Mommy! Go faster!
I'm gonna fall! I'm gonna fall!
Hey, this is not so bad...
Daddy, check me out!
Did you guys see that?!
Yes, that is what you think it is. We did a study on cartilaginous (bony) fish at co-op recently. That is Jude making a fish print place mat. Yes, it did stink like you think it would.
For cub scouts, Jude made a family scrapbook. You can see more pictures of his book in the library tab on this page.
Innovation! Perhaps Jude should be a transportation engineer!
Boy, do I have a lot of catching up to do! And Christmas is right around the corner, so I'll try to be a good momma and get up to date.
We had a pretty short visit with Nana-- especially since I had SOOO much work to do to get ready for the Christmas Music season at Trinity. Nana was Jude's constant caregiver while I worked. We had a couple of days to actually get out of the house and do some fun things. Of course, we HAD to take Nana to visit the pipe organ!
We took a trip to the Virginia Air and Space Museum in Hampton. We were all so surprised by how much there was to do and see! Jude especially wanted to check out the air planes. We spent a good amount of time in the cockpit of this passenger airplane. I played with a flight simulator and successfully took off and landed a flight! Kinda missed the runway by a few miles, but hey, no one died. ;)
Our final meal together was at our old local mexican joint, Mi Hogar, where Jude got his first taste of fried ice cream.
We loved having Nana here and can't wait until she retires so we can see her even more!
Nana: "Jude, I love you."
Jude: "Thank you."
Could we have any more fun with a Bad Robot Monster costume? I think not! All in all, Jude got to wear his costume three times. By the third time, it was definitely falling apart. We went to a community Halloween Party in Norfolk, and Jude won first place for having the most creative costume! We also enjoyed a party with our friends in Va. Beach. Jude loved having all the attention.
