irishmurr > It was a lovely fall weekend, so the hubby and I got up early this morning, drove about an hour, walked on a beach along the shores of Lake Erie, found some lovely fall foliage, strolled through this quaint town square .... and ended up back home, where he watched football and I went to look at bridal gowns with the girls.

Yes, this was a perfect day.  (November 2, 2008)

irishmurr > We're going to try this one again tomorrow .....

Maeve was grabbing for the bunny, so we had to move it out of her reach -- then she was reaching for me -- and then she finally noticed the grass and almost tumbled out of her basket trying to get it.  Looks like she's learning things from her cousin Johnny.  :-)

And I have to mention her adorable bunny hat.  Maeve's other grandma has been crocheting hats for her since before she was born, so for Maeve's very first Easter grandma made a special one with bunny ears!  (April 3, 2009)
