Halloween 2010

Halloween in the Grzemkowski house meant a corn maze, lots of pumpkins, spooky decorations and food, costumes and candy. All four of us really got into the holiday and had a lot of fun this year!

The Smokies in the Fall

We met Bella, Grandpa, Auntie, and Uncle Mike in Gatlinburg (in eastern Tennessee) during Wesley's fall break in October. It was fun to get to spend time with everyone! Unfortunately we had a few crummy things happen, including Auntie breaking her ankle, Wesley getting the stomach flu, and Evelyn not sleeping at night while we were there. However, there were many high points (as you can see in the pictures below), including, hiking, the aquarium, making a haunted gingerbread house, celebrating Bella's 35th :) birthday, and the Guesstures championship game, to name a few.

First Days of School

Below are pictures of the first days of school for Evelyn and Wesley, back in August. Evelyn goes to "school" every Tuesday. She goes to the same school that Wesley went to when he was 3. Her teachers, Ms. Kathy and Ms. Jessica, are wonderful and her good friend, Chloe, is in her class. Wesley started first grade this year and is doing great. We all love his teacher, Mrs. Barber. He has already gotten his first report card and got excellent marks! He is becoming quite a good reader and especially likes to read comics and non-fiction, question and answer type books.

A Trip to Michigan to Celebrate Gram's 95th

We went to Michigan in July to see our families and to celebrate my Grandma's 95th birthday. Below are a collection of pictures from our trip. The first group is from the day we spent in Detroit at my sister and brother-in-law's house, the zoo, and the Rainforest Cafe.
