Digital Drawing and More Trick or Treating

My office, for some unknown reason, is one of Zoe's favorite places to go. Maybe because it's different. Maybe because she can see her picture and artwork. I don't know. Anyway, the last time I took her there she was drawing on the whiteboard in my office when I decided to take her into another room. There we have a digital display where you can draw on it with an electronic pen. She really took to it and thought it was a lot of fun. Here she is engrossed in her work.

Now she did make a number of requests for me to draw things, which I did, but then she would typically color over them. You can see a digital version of her artwork (PDF) if you like. On the walk home from the office it got a little cold so I put on her Olaf blanket and she wore my hat. It didn't take her long to pass out.

The next day all three of us went to Sesame Place to do another round of trick or treating. Since mommy was with us, there were a lot more pictures taken. We got to get some treats, ride some rides and play some games.

It was a great day with lots of fun and sugar. You can see more of the pictures in the Sesame Place album on Flickr.

Election Day

When Zoe was born, Barack Obama was the president. Today the country is voting to determine who will be president for the next four years. It will still be a long time before Zoe gets to cast her own vote, but when Cheryl got home today, the two of them went around the corner to our voting center and did their civic duty. Cheryl took a couple of pictures. The girls are asleep now, and the race is still too close to call, but I assume when we get up tomorrow (hopefully not in the middle of the night) we'll know who who won. I hope everyone got out to vote today! As you can see by her sticker, Zoe did.

Riding Together for the First Time

Today my bike was finally fixed, so I picked it up from the shop before picking Zoe up from Science Club. When she saw my bike she was very excited to go for a ride. It was overcast all day, but the weather held out and it was a beautiful evening, so we rushed home, she finished all her homework, and I loaded her bike onto the car. I packed a bag with some water and a couple snacks and we made our way to Lorimer Park. Before we took off down the trail, I wanted to take a selfie, but I was so excited that I forgot my helmet, so there are two selfies. As soon as I finished the picture she took off down the path. Fortunately I was able to catch up, phone in hand, to take a few pictures as we cruised down the trail. I am a mostly competent bike rider, but trying to pay attention to her, and the trail, and keep myself upright while holding my phone was tricky. So, I decided to take some video where, for the most part, I could rest my hand on the handlebars. She is so good a...

Baby Shower

Today the family was headed to George and Amanda's baby shower. Before we even got ready, I was playing with Zoe in bed. She was just sitting on my stomach, staring at her feet and drooling. Here are a few pictures. After play time, we had to get ready to head out. Zoe wore a nice dress, even if it was a little big on her. I took a picture of her in it before we left, then a bunch more of her while we were outside. Take a look and Zoe and Cheryl together. They're so cute! Those two are so gorgeous on their own that they become simply stunning when put together. I just can't get enough. Anyway, if you take a look at all of these, and more, in Zoe's set on Flickr, you can see all of the detail in the drool. It's really quite amazing.
