Trick or Treat

Our Halloween started off with pumpkin carving with Daddy. Clara told him the shapes she wanted for the "face" requesting circles for eyes, a triangle for the nose. She also decided that she wanted her pumpkin to have teeth. After a quick PB&J dinner (she wouldn't eat the spaghetti Mommy rushed to make), she put on her costume and spent a few minutes admiring herself in the mirror. We had so much fun trick or treating with Kendall and her parents. Daddy stayed at the house to pass out candy, but we were sure to stop at his house for some extra good treats. Clara and Kendall were so polite, sweet, and patient saying thank you to each person we met. They looked so small next to the doors, and received many "aww's, and ohhh's." Clara was out for about an hour and she walked the whole way and also carried her candy pumpkin. She has never really had candy, but she thought it was fun to send her lollipops sliding down the ramp of her toy car garage. It makes both of us very excited for all of the holidays that we will experience together as a family now that Clara is old enough to get it. We hope you all had as much fun tonight as we did.




Happy Halloween!

Our Little Bunny...

Go Geagles!

Clara, an Eagles fan thanks to Daddy's North Jersey - Philly roots, and our neighbor Kendall, daughter of two hometown Redskins Fans, put their differences aside for a cute photo op on a sunny Fall afternoon.





More Cox Farm Fun with Slides

We really enjoyed the many slides Cox Farm had to offer, and we were especially happy to share the day with Mike and Chris Nordberg.

Our adorable nephew!

Clara always asked to hold the baby. She loved every minute of it!

We miss this smile already! He is such a good boy!

A total charmer!

Clara liked to be like mommy and "teach" baby Humbi about how to make his bouncer work.
Proud Grandma... Clara had to get used to sharing her.
All babies love this grandpa!

Uncle Chris... a pro now.

Soon to be Aunt Jessie! The next time we see Humbi will be for Christmas and her wedding to Uncle John - we are so excited!

Cousin Humbi comes to visit

It's hard to believe that little Humbi is almost three months old already! He certainly has grown since we saw him in August for his Baptism. Aunt Annie and Baby Humbi took the train to Virginia this week for a visit, while Uncle Humbi was in Miami cheering on his 'Canes. We are so excited to have them here! Clara has been so sweet and thoughtful with the baby around. She shares her toys (most of the time), has helped get things for diaper changes, asked to hold the baby, and played peek-a-boo with him. I'm sure more pictures from the visit will follow.





Back to School Cutie

Katie has gone back to school, and life has found some kind of order amidst a return to busy schedules. Clara is now officially in 2T size clothes, which gets us clearly out of the baby look and into the toddler look. She also insists on going up and down the stairs like Mommy and Daddy do. We took a moment one weekend to have a Motown dance party, which she loved! We wish all of you a happy fall!
