Fall Updates
I finally have some new photos of Novali to post. I know I know.. its been a while. We had a lot of fun visits in late August, September and now into October. We had some fun things from attending her first baseball game, learning how to cook new things, reading books, went to Notre Dame, learning to swim (still not ready), attending a car race again, going to the beach, hearing a jazz band, watching old Dr. Seuss movies, joining a soccer team, playing at the park, and most recently this weekend we went apple picking.

It is always fun taking a weekend and just enjoying some time with Novali. I am really glad I made the decision to move here as living so close to Chicago has been great. I am posting a photo page of all the things we have been up to lately.

It was a fun fall... Novali did a lot of cooking with me.

I continued to try and get her into cars.

The newest adventure was a trip to the County Line Orchard in Hobart, IN. It is right on the Illinois and Indiana border. Heather and I met Tamara, Syed and Novali for a fun day trip. It was a great orchard. They had tractor rides, apple picking, pumpkin patches, farm animals to pet, huge general store... and tons more. Novali love the Moo Choo and we picked a lot of apples and she got us through the giant corn maze.

She had fun learning about and picking different apples.

Please enjoy the photos. The full gallery is the NovalĂ­ website and the direct link to the photos is here: Fall 2008 Pics

Next week Novali kicks off her first soccer game. I am returning from a conference the day before but I won't miss that game. I will make it out there and get some photos posted afterwards... I promise it won't take months for me to post more photos! Stay posted.
