Walkin'

We took the kids on a walk Saturday and the leaves were at near peak fall colors!

Lights, sounds, music!

I love Mommy and Daddy... but not as much as I love my new toy that makes all sorts of noises!

Budding artist

Nate spent a couple days hanging out with some pals at daycare. Bram (our friend Dara's son, right) visited with him, but Nate was otherwise busy grabbing at the other babies. 

And here's Nate's first art project - I think it speaks to the challenges all redheads face...or that this redhead likes to smoosh his paint-filled hands on paper. 

Happy Halloween!

Franken-Nate!

Trick-or-Treat!

Franken-butt

Feeling festive!

Cinnamon's getting into the spirit, too.

Momma knits!

Momma finally got to put me in the sweater and hat she knit for me when we went out on a walk today - it was so snuggly I fell asleep in the stroller! Thanks Auntie Kim for the baby knits book that made this look possible. 

   

White House Garden Tour

Our friends Duncan, Jes and Jody and their two kids had extra tickets to the White House Fall Garden Tour and invited us to join them! It was a sunny (though slightly chilly) fall day and we even ran into Aunt Beth and Liam.
