October Snapshots



Tess likes to help with laundry.  When it is warm she likes to climb on top and lay tummy down on it.


Luna loves "playing" with Tess, which generally involves various forms of rolling around, dragging, or carrying Tess.


Haven't had a stranded baby, recently  I like this one...


Fall Picture.


Guess what?  More laundry!  Oh, and a pony.





Luna discovered the year old box of chocolates that were sitting on the counter, earmarked to get thrown away.  She helped herself.  We had to let her.


The baby however, had to settle for crumbs; of which, no doubt, there were many.



I made some yummy pumpkin cupcakes.


Luna crowned Tess as her assistant, princess in training.


Love giving Tess spaghetti.  So funny to watch her suck up the noodles!




Tess started sleeping in her own crib at night... all night. Phew.



We had hard boiled eggs for lunch one day.


She wasn't real sure at first...


But she ate the whole thing.


Luna got her first sewing lesson...


And yesterday Tess felt her first snowflakes.

Potsdam

The day we left Berlin, we stopped in Potsdam to see the Sans Souci palaces and gardens before driving home.


It was a gorgeous day.  We took some family photos with the tripod, here are some of the outtakes...











The gardens were incredibly extensive, I don't remember ever seeing anything quite like it.







Path through the woods from one of the palaces to another.




"Chinese" Tea house... 18th century Chinoiserie...




The Baroque meets Beijing! :)
