I also voted (#93) in something other than the Presidential election on November 2. It was actually a great feeling to be contributing in that way. I plan to continue voting during more elections.
A few weeks ago, Emile and I went to see True Grit (#43) one evening. It was a great movie; one we'd recommend. And of course, it's always wondering getting time away with just my husband.
I made a curtain (#81) for our guest bathroom which I'm very proud off. I think it actually turned out well. Having finished the curtain also means I've finished decorating another room in the house. Plus I have finished my office. Two more rooms done (#78).
Last night I finally finished and order Natalie's 2nd year photo album (#48). Now to finish Claire's 1st year.
Since my last post, I've only sent out one birthday card to my father-in-law (#95) but there are a lot of birthday's coming up!
Although we didn't take Claire because she's too young, we did take Natalie to see her Oma's production of the Nutcracker (Continental Ballet Company) (#26). She loved it and even got to dance with the lead, "Clara", after the performance backstage. Here's my favorite photo from that day:
Shortly after Claire turned 1 yr. old (December 3), I weaned her from nursing (#52). She was exclusively breastfeed for the entire year (i.e. no formula), 12.5 months. I'm proud of myself for doing this for both of my girls!
I also organized the storage room, finally (#80). It is so much easier to get to things, and so much more room, now that it's organized. Emile and the girls helped assemble a shelf system.
My friend Jenny has started a professional photography business, Sweet & Sunny Images. We had her take a family photo (#97) of us for our Christmas card this year. I love how it turned out so much that we got a 16x20 print made that we'll be framing for our living room.
Apparently I've been pretty busy with these in the last few months. I've completed an additional 9 since the last time I posted!
