Happy birthday Brice!

This is one of the fireworks pictures I took on Bonfire Night. (Larry likes this photo. He says it's, "trippy." :)) The bright orb is the moon. The camera I used has a "fireworks" setting, but actually I found that "night landscape" worked better. I don't know if it will show up on here, but in the full res version, you can see the clouds in the night sky, and it adds a really amazing texture to the whole thing.

Yesterday we didn't have running water for a while. Apparently, a main burst somewhere. Unfortunately, our washing machine also decided to go on the fritz yesterday. I'm not sure if the two events are related, but I was in the middle of a load of laundry when the water was shut off, and the washer hasn't been the same since. We tried to get a hold of the landlord today, but couldn't. Larry and I hope we can get the washing machine fixed asap!

Today was the first day I would say it was officially cold. I actually wore a hat and a scarf, and wished I had gloves! I put mitts on Ryan, but he just pulled them off.

Speaking of Ryan, I forgot to mention that for a while now, he'll say, "Zip!" and zip up his jammies himself. He also likes to zip up my hoodie for me. :)
