Cousins

We went to MA for Thanksgiving and the cousins had some good quality time together.

The Thinker

...made a stinker.

Aria's Drawing

Aria drew this picture in a journal she created at school. She showed it to me this evening. I love the fish bones and the cat's happy face...it makes me smile. It's so fun to see her drawing skills develop over the years.

Fall Fun at the Cottage

Leaf time!

This is Abby, my parent's new cat. The kids love her and she loves the kids.

We made our yearly batch of apple sauce.

Apples, apples and more apples.

This is Emmett's finger, he is such a boy.

Hey Aria - your boat is upside down. Haha!

Emmett, Grammy and Pop Pop

Halloween 2011

What's fall without a visit to the farm?
Coloring pumpkins.

Emmett was a dragon and actually liked wearing his costume...he is a bit particular about things.

Aria was Silvermist. Which is one of Tinkerbells many friends. This was all her idea.

Taking a little taste of the goods.

Emmett was very focused and finished the entire tootsie roll pop...with more than 3 licks, I might add.

school pictures!

We got the kids' school picture proofs today. I know I'm biased, but I can't stop smiling whenever I look at them. :-)

This last one I KNOW was all Aria's idea.

Aria lost her first tooth!

After about 2 weeks, Aria got tired of having a loose tooth, so she pulled it out herself at school yesterday. She was so excited when she woke up the next morning, and the tooth fairy left a note, and a WHOLE QUARTER!
