Last Saturday morning we woke up to a real, true snowstorm, the very first of the season. It wasn't just a flurry here and a flurry there, it was DUMPING wet, heavy snow! Addison wanted to get outside right away, and lo and behold we ended up with a snowman in the front yard at 7:45am...I'm not kidding. DJ was such a trooper to be out there so early for so long. They had a blast though. The snow is still around and so is the snowman, but unfortunately only his bottom and middle layers are still intact. Along with the snowstorm came a power outage that lasted almost 2 full days - NOT fun. We had to leave the house and ended up hanging out at DJ's parents all day on Sunday. The kids spent the night there on Saturday as previously planned (our date night) so that worked out, and just as we were about to sleep there Sunday as well, the power came back on. Thankfully we had somewhere to go.
Isla rolled ALL the way over (back to front) on her own for the first time on November 9th. She's very into reaching and grabbing for anything in her line of sight, and rolling over is usually coupled with attempting to reach a toy, a diaper or Callie. She also tried rice cereal for the first time last weekend and loved it! The first thing she did was grab the spoon and shove it in her mouth. She caught on really quickly and has been having a little cereal every night during dinner. She still stares longingly at our food though. In a couple of weeks we'll give her some carrots or sweet potatoes and she'll be hooked for life.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we're hosting. Then Christmas and the year is done! I can't believe how fast time is flying by. We're hoping to get some good family shots from Judith this weekend for holiday cards, so watch your mailbox...I WILL get those out this year!

Addison loves to lie in our bed while we get ready for work in the morning and insists that Isla is with her
That is, after she has her snack and milk and watches a Dora episode downstairs on her "baby TV" aka the portable DVD player
Addison's night-time routine includes a binky, her blankie and Bearenstein
