Little AJ's Theatrical Debut
Here are a few pictures and a video of Little AJ in the Sunday School Christmas program tonight. She was adorable and very entertaining to watch! Sorry for the all the shaking in the video, but she kept making me laugh. She was totally "that kid" in the play... waving to us, twirling, just doing her own thing. It was great.

Little AJ, the Storyteller
Little AJ loves to tell stories. I wish I had every one on video because they are all unique and quite hilarious, but this is the only one I've been able to capture so far. See if you can pick up on some of the funnier elements.

Colorado Trip
Little AJ and I just got back from our week-long trip to Colorado! It was a wonderful week with lots of outings and time with family. Here's a few pictures... okay, a lot of pictures.
We arrived late Friday night, so that we could drive down to Colorado Springs on Saturday for my ten year college reunion. Those ten years sure flew by! I got to see my two roommates from senior year and several other friends.
On Sunday, Little AJ went to her first pumpkin patch. It was a perfect sunny Colorado day!
We spent a lot of time with family while we were there. Little AJ especially loved seeing Granddaddy, Great Grandmother and Great Granddaddy.
One afternoon we met up with my good friend and her daughter at the Butterfly Pavilion. Both of the girls are very affectionate, so they spent much of the time holding hands, hugging and kissing. It was so sweet.
On Friday, we went to the zoo, which is always a hit. Little AJ was so excited to see all the animals, plus we rode the carousel and the train.
It was a great trip! We only wish Daddy could have been with us too!

What We've Been Up To
Sorry for the blog silence of late! AJ, Little AJ and I had a wonderful summer, and we're enjoying a beautiful Adirondack fall. Here's a few pictures from the last few months.
Little AJ as a beautiful ballerina (just for fun)... I think these were taken in June.
Little AJ playing at the beach after the summer crowds went home...
Little AJ at "Kids' Night" at our church in August. The theme was "A Night in the Big Apple." The pictures show Little AJ in front of a taxi and building a skyscraper with boxes.
Little AJ at "The Wild Center" in Tupper Lake, NY in September. She loved posing with the stuffed deer, seeing real river otters swimming, chasing butterflies, playing on the natural wood playground, and watching a film about mergansers (ducks).
Little AJ and Mommy stopping to take a few pictures during a nature walk near our house on Columbus Day. We collected red, orange and yellow leaves, wildflowers, apples, and sticks, and we enjoyed the sunshine by the river.
And lastly, AJ and I enjoyed a day away on Tuesday while Little AJ played with Grama, and we hiked Crane Mountain (one of my favorite hikes). It was the perfect fall day to be outside, and the views were incredible!
