Winter in Pittsburgh

We finally have some signs of winter here in Pittsburgh...about an inch of snowfall this afternoon. We've had relatively warm weather so far this season. This afternoon I bundled Autumn up and she was able to play in the snow while I shoveled the walkways. She apparently didn't think my work was adequate enough, she would brush snow I missed off the steps with her hands. What a help! Autumn is certainly giving us a run for our money...she's testing the boundaries and hamming it up at the same time. She's quite a character, and makes us laugh everyday.

Miles and I had another weekend getaway without Autumn this past Friday night to Sunday morning. We took a short drive to Wash DC to visit Lucas. We were able to relive our younger years and go to an open bar (an experience I don't know if I'll repeat...). His roommate (he works for the New Jersey house representative) also gave us a tour on Saturday afternoon of the Capital building, very interesting. We met up with Cate on Saturday night for dinner, some darts, and a little dancing. It was nice to spend some time away...and it was nice to come back home...

Miles found out today that he'll be going to Korea all next week for work. It'll be an experience, but we'll miss him!

This is Autumn and Miles at El Grande for lunch. We ate after dress shopping for Andrea's wedding.
This was funny because I told her to smile for the picture. After I take her picture she'll reach for the camera to see what it looks like and then laugh at herself. She also likes to watch those mini videoclips you can take on the camera after I download them onto the computer.
Here's the new table set and chairs...it's been a long time coming. Now she has a nice place for her coloring instead of standing on the big chairs in the dining room. It's working out well. We did have to move the tent out of the family room for more space.
This is Autumn and Miles at The Center for Creative Play. It's a big open room where they have different areas for the kids to play. It was a nice way to spend a rainy day.
