Eating apples with Elaina and Estelle

Andrew and Trisha visited recently.  Nathan really liked having another Cutie Pie to carry around.

This is what teasing looks like.

Peter

I love each age, but Peter at 3 years is especially magical.

 

 

 

Still smiling

We had some excitement this week when Daniel got sick very quickly with an asthma attack on Monday.  After a little trip to the ER, he was ramped up on drugs and able to breathe ok again.  He was very excited to have rockets on his fingers.

Happy Halloween!

Trick or treating down town

With our friends

We had a green dragon, the black dragon, and Luigi.  The shark is not pictured.

Happy Birthday Aaron!

The little guy turned 1!  Did you know he's walking now?  He has evidence of that on his forehead.  Don't worry.  He'll be fine.  We should have told him to save that one until after his birthday.

We did a little lawn bowling...

with an October twist...pumpkin bowling.  Congratulations to our pumpkin bowling champion: Janet!

Good concentration, Peter!  Nice use of proper tongue position...

Look at those birthday cheeks!

Ample apples

 

The time of year when apples are so plentiful, you just let your toddler go to town on them in the entryway.

It's a pumpkin thing.  You wouldn't understand.

Another Birthday!

I celebrated another birthday!  We just stayed home and hung out--a rare treat these days.

I turned 30 plus a few too many more.  Notice Aaron holding the matches on the bottome left!

Happy Birthday, Peter!

Three Years Old!  Peter was so excited to grow up to the big #3

The boy who prefers ice cream over cake

And loves baseball

Being the special boy!

Thanks, Uncle Kyle and Aunt Rachel!  We think he liked it.

Nathan's First Day of School

Nathan was very excited to start first grade today.  I hope his enthusiasm lasts for more than a week.

 

This is Nathan's classic fake smile. 
Peter wasn't too sure about leaving Nathan at school all day.

Out for a celebration ice cream cone at the end of the first day.

Summer days are gone too soon

 

Happy 40th wedding anniversary!
