Baby Gallory

What do I do with this bucket thingy, again? Julian's second Halloween was more fun than the first one - for the parents, that is. He could walk further on his own this time, before having to be carried... :) Trust me, them costumes are not easy to work around if the kids refuses to take another step by himself.

We spent Julian's second birthday with Baba Hania and Dziadzio Andrzej in Florida. Because of the red tide, we couldn't spend any time on the beach (talk about a bummer), but manager to have loads of fun nevertheless. Julian discussing the upcoming presidential election with Baba and Dziadzio Julian's Birthday Cake consisted of an artfuly arranged egg-free scones from a nearby English Tea House. Kudos to Baba for finding these - and the candles!!! It took us a bit of an effort to pull out the candles from the scones before J-man ate them. Leisurely refreshing Dziadzio's knowledge of the alphabet... ...and studying the effects of static electricity on people's hair. Let's do that AGAIN!!!!!!

Candy visited us for a weekend. Julian enjoyed reading books in his tent, and apple picking at a nearby orchard...
