November 2014!

So precious!

First snow!  So pretty!!

I love the view out of this window at work, so serene...



The clouds look like mountains

Hmmm, I'm thinking I should have worn socks today!! Clearing off my windshield and some chips of slushy ice landed on my bare foot...brrrr!

Today, I shall be prepared for wayward icy slush from my windshield!

That there is a skunk by Sean's rear tire, he's been making himself quite at home around here, got poor Rosie next door!

Em and Hannah doing their duct tape thing!

Em asked me to haul up my guitar from the basement...it finally sees the light after maybe 30 years...maybe Em can teach me!  My pick is long gone so she fashioned one out of...DUCT TAPE!!

I loved seeing this! Reading it gave me more wrinkles!!



The Three Wise Men make their way through Kellogg Park in Downtown Plymouth!

Traction Control = Makin' Bacon (humor compliments of Emily!)

We had a "hot" smell in the building...

This seems to be the origin of said "hot" smell...



"No problem found"...hmmm, isn't this what happens when we try to replicate a problem that we've called a repair man about.  Alas, no worries, building was in tact and smelled just fine on Monday!

Em searching for the perfect book to read at the library!

Parent/Teacher Conference!!

Sean and I had our Parent/Teacher Conference with Em and her teacher last night and it went very well! Em is doing good in class and still loves school...there was mention of her being a bit "chatty", at least she's consistent year after year!! We stopped in to meet and visit with her Strings teacher as well, he invited Em to get her viola out (there were too many violinists in class so she was switched to viola a few weeks ago) and play a bit of "Ode to Joy" while he accompanied her on piano. That was such a cool thing to happen and although I didn't take a video, I did get a few pics! You go Baby Girl, we're so stinkin' proud of you!!

Downtown Plymouth

My stuff packed for a weekend of scrappin'...this cannot be all I'm taking?!

Sean and Em came to visit at the hotel and had some fun in the pool

Science Night at school

Science Night

The Plymouth Library with Em

Downtown Plymouth

Practicing the violin!

Sweet Dreams

Hanging out at work with Mom

I feel like I'm about to enter a whole different world once the light turns green.  This is Ridge Rd between Ann Arbor Rd and Warren and I LOVE going this way, not because it's faster but because it's less congested and SO colorful n the fall!

Costco trip...we did not buy these pickles!

More violin!

Em and Hannah "helping" Sean with the leaves.  It was windy so they're helping by holding them down!!

Helping our friend Hil move!

Em waiting to surprise Hil!



Fionna (from Adventure Time) for Halloween.

Em told Sean, "I think I got a stick of butter" after leaving this neighbor's porch!! Instead it was a caramel wafer cookie thing!  It was yummy!

Playing at the Foltz Concert Hall...from now until the end of Grade 5

Em has Strings class this school year and picked the violin!! She has signed the school contract and was allowed to bring her instrument home today...we'd like to share with you for the VERY FIRST TIME...

 

 

 

 

FUN WEEKEND (09/20-09/21/14)

SATURDAY

After dropping off some boxes to our friend Hil, I took Sean and Em to JR's in Tecumseh for lunch!
YUMMY, they have some of the best sweet potato fries!  Em was impressed with their grilled cheese too! 

Saw this guy on the way back on US-12, it looked iffy but he made it around the corner without losing a roll!

Standing in line at Parmenter's Cider Mill in Northville, it went quick and was SO worth the wait!!

Em got some hula hoopin' started!!

Added some artwork to the chalk area

Sat by the stream that runs behind the cider mill, ate some donuts, drank some cider and made a new friend!

Just in time to catch the 4:45pm showing of Planes: Fire and Rescue at The Penn Theatre in Plymouth...

...and a wedding party taking pics!  They were a fun group!

SUNDAY

Getting all geared up to head out on to I-96 for Family Fun Day!!

HOLY PEOPLE BATMAN!

WOW! We got on the freeway and headed Westbound instead!

Much more open this direction

We saw some pretty cool folks out there today!

Hmmm, skies are looking a bit dark!

CHEESE!

On our way home!
