Bill Clinton
I have no pictures for this post, so you'll just have to take my word for it! Today was Pennsylvania's primary election (and Earth Day! Happy Earth Day!!) So I went to the polls at Lincoln Elementary. Along the way I heard a rumor that Bill Clinton was going to be there at 12:30...and it was true! So Autumn and I saw Bill today, crazy! There were only about 100 people there, so we waited about 30 minutes to shake his hand. We were standing about 5 yards away, but alas no hand shakes for us. He didn't move quickly down the line, and was having really long conversations with groups of people (seriously...about 10-15 minutes!) So we ended up leaving so I could put Autumn down for her nap. But...I just think it's cool that I we were able to see him! So how about that for a Tuesday afternoon...

Spencer the Dog
This is Spencer. He is an 8 month old Blue Heeler/Hound Mix. You can see in his face that he's not sure which breed he should be. We got him at the pound. He is soooo sweet, gentle, soft and great with Autumn. Autumn and Spencer played together this morning and I didn't know what to do with myself.
I had to carry him out of Autumn's room when she went down for a nap. He wanted to take a nap with her.
At the dog park he ran around like crazy with the other dogs and played very nicely. Grammy Williams and Autumn went outside of the fence to go to the playground and Spencer was very upset. He didn't want Autumn to leave his site.

Wild Woman
I dropped off our camera yesterday to be fixed at Best Buy...hopefully there will be no more issues and I can start to take more (clearer) pictures soon! We've been keeping busy here. Miles and Grandpa George have been working on the back patio and sidewalk getting it ready to lay concrete. I should have grabbed some pictures before I sent in the camera...but it'll be on my "to do" list when I get it back. So far the weather has been fabulous...let's hope it stays in our favor! So here are some pictures of Autumn...She's getting so big (and so CRAZY!!) We've really enjoyed being able to play outside this past week...
I just thought this was a funny picture. She had a loaded diaper so I rinsed her off in the sink to make sure she was clean, and then dried her off with a dishtowel. I think the picture speaks for itself! She loved the towel!
Here we are hanging out! Autumn thought my legs were the perfect bed, so silly!

Autumn Update~18 months
Autumn had her 18 month check up today. She's doing very well...just the way we like it! She's 27 pounds (85%) and 35 inches (97%). She had a bit of a growth spurt from her one year appointment. We had to get two shots today which is always a bummer, but I think our trip to the park in the beautiful weather made her forget all about it (it's nothing a little cookie won't fix).
I think she forgot all about her shots, poor dear.
It's really hard to get a good shot of her anymore because she's always moving...

Budapest and Vienna
We just got back yesterday from a trip to Budapest and Vienna to visit Matt, Hilary and Reese. This was a parents only trip (Autumn was able to spend some quality time with Grandma Lori and her Williams Grandparents). Our hug at the airport was awesome...when Autumn saw us she cam running over screaming with a huge smile on her face...too cute! I should have had my camera running!
We were able to check out Matt, Hilary, and Reese's home in Budapest and spend some time with them while they're in Hungry. Their apartment is really nice, and in a perfect location for Matt's work, Reese's playground, and of course sight seeing. We spent a couple days exploring Budapest before taking a train ride to Vienna were we stayed for 3 days. I enjoyed spending some alone time with Miles and checking out the sights. We had a fun night at a local pub just drinking some beers and talking. We had decent weather that didn't stop us from seeing everything we wanted.
We then came back into Budapest to finish off our trip. It was nice to spend a couple more days with the Dowiak clan. We were also able to catch some sort of festival the last weekend we were there. We had a wonderful time together...
Here we are after a fun around Margaret's Island in Budapest. It's about a 2 minute walk from Matt and Hilary's place. There are no cars allowed on the island, which is awesome because it makes it such a great park.
I believe this is a view from the top of the church in Vienna. Ask Miles about the stairs to get to the top!
This one's for Matt...you can see the castle in Budapest in the background.
This is an aerial view in Budapest. You can see the island in the center. To large building on the right is Parliament. Matt and Hilary's place is about 2 blocks from the end of the bridge on the right (behind Parliament).
I couldn't resist...here's a picture of Reese. She's so cute! She is doing very well and is a very sweet girl.

Valentine's Day
A quick update for those who need their fix! Autumn is picking up some new words. She will now try to say a word after you say it. It's very cute. She's got the body parts down pretty well as well as animal sounds. I love her crocodile sound....she snaps her hands together...also as equally enjoyable is the pig, cat, and monkey imitations. Some friends came over last night for pizza and conversation. We reached the conclusion that are conversations from now on will probably be filled with baby/kid news...(evidenced by the prior "big news" animal sounds)...Today she figured out how to open the fridge door, which isn't so convenient for us!
It's been a bit chilly here in the Burgh lately...around the 30's. Miles and my Dad were busy putting in the screen door for the back entrance this afternoon. It looks a lot better, hopefully it will help keep out all of that cold weather. Home improvements little by little.
We've kind of bunkered down for the rest of February waiting for March to come, and we can't wait. The days are getting longer...spring will be here soon.
Just a cute picture of Autumn. I must have taken it after a meal.
Here's the new back door. I'll paint it white when the weather breaks and gets a little warmer. When the screen door is in I'll put up a new picture. We put in a lock with a keypad so you can just enter a number to unlock the door, a personal favorite.
Here's our Valentine's Day pictures...all kisses! I worked on Thursday so we went out Wednesday night to the neighborhood diner for a beer. It was nice to catch up and spend some alone time together. Dad and his baby girl...
Flowers!!
Kisses!!
