Nov 13 - As Alyssa continues to explore her
world, nothing is off limits. Here she is sitting in the
dishwasher, helping Vanessa unpack. |
| Nov 10 - We took Alyssa to the Lincoln Park
zoo. Although the temperature was above normal, it was still a
chilly morning. We dressed Alyssa warmly, but it was the first
time that she had to walk with such a thick coat and it was quite
funny at times. |

October 23 - With the arrival of fall, the trees
change color and loose their leaves (but I guess you already knew
that!). It's actually a great time of the year in Chicago.
The temperature is mild the fall colors are just beautiful to see. |

October 21 - We took my parents to see the Bahai
Temple (or "place of worship" as they like to call it) in
Wilmette, just north of Chicago. It's a beautiful building as
you can see in this pictures. That's Vanessa & Alyssa in
front of the building. |
| October 18 - Vanessa & Alyssa, together with
my parents, visited Goebbert's Pumpkin & Farm Market. Here
is Alyssa between some pumpkins. |

 |
October 14 - On Vanessa's birthday, a group of
friends decided to see the fall colors at Lake Geneva in
Wisconsin. This pictures was taken just outside the town of Lake
Geneva, looking across the lake to some colorful trees. |
| We decided to drive around the lake with a route that
some else in the group has taken before. This is what some parts
of the route looked like. |

October 8 - My parents visited us during the
month of October. They were originally scheduled to arrive on
September 14, but after the September 11 attacks, all flights were
grounded and they only managed to reschedule their flights for 3 weeks
later. It started getting a bit cooler after they arrived, so
here is Alyssa with her grandfather all dressed up warm outside. |
