November Photos…

Here are a few photos from the last month.

First up – Pumpkin carving in the neighborhood. Our friends, the Camaratas, had a pumpkin carving afternoon. They had a huge tarp and about 40 pumpkins set out. Andy pre-gutted them and cut a hole in the bottom so they were ready for carving. They had snacks and beer and everything. It was great. We hope we get to do it again next year.

Second – Ellie’s first, official hair cut. She got a trim the last time she went with Abby and Tricia a few weeks ago but this was her first, honest-to-goodness hair cut. We went to Changes City Spa in Norfolk and Jasmine cut her hair. It was adorable to see her sitting in that chair dictating what was happening. Ellie was definitely not a fan of having cut hair in her face and she kept moving to get it brushed out of her eyes. In the end, she came out that much cuter! Another first…checked off the list. She is growing up so fast! (Also, hard to believe that it took her 4 years before she needed her first real haircut!)

Enjoy,
J

Abby going after her pumpkin. She had her hair in pigtails for a few hours beforehand so that’s why her hair looks funny.

Ellie trying to cut out an eye. She did a pretty good job and I only had to do a little clean up when she finished.

Ellie still going at it.

Abby working on the mouth. She designed the teeth and everything.

All done with the masterpiece. We went for simple elegance this year!

Tricia helping out.

Driving to the salon. Ellie fell asleep so I had to catch a quick shot. I won’t say it’s hard to hold a 5 pound camera backwards and drive at the same time…but I won’t say it’s easy either!
