Halloween Re-Cap

Since I have a spare moment, let me update you on the past week.  It is now November which means we are now parents of a 6 month old baby girl. Wait, How exactly did this happen again? Anyway, for Halloween we dressed her as a Cornish Pixie (think Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). Since Chris has a Malfoy costume, and I have a Bellatrix Lestrange costume, choosing something from Harry Potter for A made sense to us.

I made most of the outfit -- I borrowed the wings, but everything else I made. It was fun doing it and A will have a new set of clothes to wear that will be warm. I also made her a coat in the blue that matches the hat with the antennae on it. Our Halloween was a bit warm though, so she didn't need the extra jacket, but that also meant she missed the extra arms she was supposed to have.  Here are a couple of pictures:

It has managed to finally cool down some, though if we are to have our traditional snow by Thanksgiving we've got a long ways to go. We still are in the 60s, which is warm for us this time of year.

This past weekend A and I went to a Bridal show with my friend Linda, who is getting married next summer. A did remarkably well the entire day, especially for it being the first day off of daylight savings time. She didn't fuss until the end and mainly just soaked up everyone cooing at her. She was in a sling on me, and normally this deters people from touching her much, but not during the expo, it was weird. At one booth, a lady wants Linda to host a party simply to get to see A again. Here is a picture of A with one of Linda's dogs, Harmony.

That basically sums up the past week though. I've made another quilt top, just need to quilt it and send it to my friend. Chris has worked and made it home safe each day, nothing really new or exciting there. He's at the point in the semester where he starts planning for the next term, but not really able to do much since he still has this term to finish.
