Raindrops and whiskers

Fall weather has arrived, and so has some new rain gear from Nana. Andie loves her new boots and rain jacket.

Andie's friend Natasha had a birthday party this weekend. We all had lots of fun!

Andie loved getting her face painted.

There were tasty treats to eat, including a delicious whipped cream and chocolate wafer cake.

Andie liked the cupcakes best.

Andie continues to be an excellent eater, just like her parents. She even knows how to eat her pizza slices folded in half just like Great Grandpa Barney.

Perhaps also inspired by Great Grandpa Barney, she also continues the exploration of her musical talents.

Deck reconstruction

The deck attached to the Herilino Annex was rotting away, so Uncle Chuck visited again to help give it an overhaul. Uncle Joe and cousin Karen generously helped out, and baby Andie even chipped in!

We were so happy to take them in after the fire, and we are even happier that they have found a new place of their own to call home (especially because it isn't in Iowa). They are again just a short drive away in Santa Rosa, and they even promised to still babysit one day a week. Nani and Papa really enjoyed spreading out after being relegated to such tight quarters at the Herilino house. Although they didn't have too much stuff to move, Andie helped them unpack some of their new things. She liked how the packing material stuck to their clean windows. They don't have much in the way of furniture yet either, but Nani and Papa made sure Andie felt comfortable by stocking their house with new toys, a kid's table, and a potty seat. We are already having lots of fun hanging out there. Andie loved trying ou...

Pizza & ready to crawl

Andie added pizza to her list of foods yesterday, doing right by her New York family heritage. Kristin spent her first night away from Andie last night to throw a bachelorette party for Auntie Ellie. Everyone survived! Andie seems to be pretty close to crawling these days, making Kristin and Jason wonder if they're going to have to dedicate some time to better baby-proofing soon.
