The month of October has been pretty busy for the Millers. First up, Derek's birthday. I didn't take any pictures, but we had lots of fun. Ember and I made Derek a carrot cake and we had chicken fajitas for dinner. He got a fun tank top that says "Sun's out Guns out" and a Detroit Lions freezer mug (that he's been using frequently!)
Next, Carly arrived. She made the long trek from Soldotna on the 15th and arrived on Kwaj on the 16th. The girls have been having lots of fun with their Aunty Carly, and I've been enjoying having another adult around the house during the day!
Here are a few pictures of her first bike ride from the Airport to our house. Carly and Ember have been biking around the island in this trike frequently since she got here.
There have been a lot of "firsts" this month. The big one is that Nova tried her first solid food... Avocado. Since then she's tried banana and a few of Derek's fruit smoothies. She seems to like the avocados the best.
...And Ember had to get in on the fun too!
"This is how you do it Nova!"
"Ok! I get it."
Here are a few more just because she's so cute!
Ember started "Mommy and Me" dance classes. This is her second year of dance and she's really starting to pick it up.
Nova is starting to crawl!
It's only a few inches at a time...
And then she lies down..
But she's really proud of herself...And then she tries again!!
Since Carly has been here, we've been taking lots of trips to the beach. Here are a few from a particular pretty sunset.
Ember has been helping out around the kitchen. She collects ingredients from the pantry and refrigerator, helps me measure them out, then adds them to the mixer or pan.
I think her favorite part of the whole operation is wearing the apron...
... or it's "cleaning" the utensils!
Here are a few more random pictures just for fun...
Bye!!
