Spoooooooky!

Happy Halloween!

Geneva Trick-or-Treat with Cousins!

Today revised :)

Oh, Carla sure is our little MOVER!



There was more to this day...Daddy took our little leopard to the town Halloween party. Also, I went to see Dr Roizen speak (I'll spare you the crummy photos with no flash); it was really cool!

Visitors!

Today Candace was with us, and Aunt Ashley and Uncle Nick came to visit!!, but Daddy didn't get home until midnight! 7 1/2 hours late !! :( We're happy to have him home now!

Fun day!

Grandma J spent the day with us, playing and reading, and we had a book club party! I forgot how quickly you can grocery shop without kids -- thank you Jackie :) The book was The Color of Light by Karen White, great characters and some mystery -- everyone liked it! Thank you Mom for baking all of those DELICIOUS desserts! And Ashley came, what a wonderful surprise!

What a day!

Some dress up, Carla found her tongue - hilarious!, Stroller Science (check out those huge Sycamore leaves and can you find the wild strawberry?), and dinner at the "pizza shop" and a sleepover with Gramma and Pas!

We miss you already Daddy!

Look how Anna colored in the lines! Then she wanted to specifically color "out of the lines"! The things kids come up with!

Mommy won a brick!

That's right, I was the top female in a 5k race today! I won't tell you my time, but I will say it was my best since Carla was born :) Anna, Carla, Daddy, Gramma, and Pas were a great cheering squad! Thanks for coming out in the cold :)

Funny benches in Lttle Italy

Cousins had a day off of school - Yeah!

Anna pedalled down the street...

...and Carla and I strolled :)

Apple and grape picking - SO fun! and delicious :)

What a poser!

Hanging with Mom

Happy 5th Birthday Joey!

and Marview Street Party! What a fun day! Anna won the race according to the Police Officer, probably because she and Anna had the same name. Anna even got to sleep over at Gramma and Pas' to make the night even more exciting! Check out Sheriff Joey's bike - it has his horse on it! We made him a personalized Joey-Spiderman video which everyone enjoyed, especially the star! We missed you Aunt Sara, Uncle Dan, and Max!

At 2 1/2 and 3 months, they're both learning so much!

It was so sweet seeing Anna want to help set up Carla's farm animals for her. She is so eager to help, and "play" with her sister! Carla just loves her new toys! She will sit in that chair for an hour at a time, just batting away at her new animal friends. She even pulled the handle that makes music! It seemed like forever before Anna could do that. She's our little muscle woman. She's a mover too. She rolls over the second I lay her down. She is really trying to wiggle out of that chair now too! I don't even remember Anna ever doing that.

Getting BIG!

Cozy Carla :)

Candace brought a craft!

Thanks to the English Nanny and Governess School, Candace will be spending the next 10 Fridays with us. Both girls are really enjoying her, and I enjoy the help! Here they were making teddy bears, and they sang a song to go with it :)

Quick scenic stop before Gramma went to school!
