Happy Halloween!.. again!!!

We started with our Halloween tradition of eating pizza with friends, and this year we celebrated with our friends Rosemary and Elanor. After our bellies were full we went Trick or Treating, of course!!

First Snow!

We received our first snow storm and it was a big one. It dumped about a foot of new snow on us.

Happy Halloween!

Here we are, all dressed up for a Halloween Party! Ruby was a Love Bird, Griffin was a Army Guy, Mama was Princess Leih, and Daddy was "Fragile".

Corn Maze

Mama and the kids visited the local corn maze near Paul Smiths last weekend. This was Ruby's second time and she was very proud to lead the way.

Mail boxes provided sections of the map that helped to find your way out of the maze.

Smoke 'em out!

Our friend Sean invited Griffin to his house to help him find the Queen Bee in his bee hive. Complete with bee suit and smoker the looked and looked, but apparently she was in hiding from the cold weather. Maybe next time we'll find her.

Girls got moves!

Two of our friends recently got married at a beautiful spot in the mountains near Keene. Once the dancing started Ruby and Mama were on the floor cuttin' it up. Every time I peeked in the tent expecting to see Ruby passed out on Mama's lap, there she was, shakin' it on the dance floor. She's got the moves!

Griffin also had his dancin' shoes on, but the bright lights and the loud music forced him to show his stuff outside the tent in the dark. I tried to work his silhouette against the window in the tent, it kinda works. Make sure to notice his last move where he exits the screen with dancing dive!

First Day of School

Some photos of the kids and their first day of school.

1st Tooth!

It finally happened! Griffin lost his first tooth. We noticed it was loose after a visit with the dentist, and then just two days later, while playing with some friends, it popped out!

Little Ballerina

Even though no parents are allowed to interrupt the dancing lessons, we had to send in the paparazzi for just one picture.

Mama's Birthday Day

We had a wonderful day celebrating mommy's birthday. Starting with morning breakfast at the Blue Moon Cafe, then a beautiful hike up Catamount Mountain (complete with birthday Strawberry Shortcake with candle), and finally pizza and presents. But the best present was being able to spend the day together as a family.
