Pumpkin Picking 2012

Check out last year's link pumpkin patch pictures to for a fun comparison. 

We were lucky to have a beautiful day Saturday. Tomorrow and Tuesday Hurricane Sandy is expected to bring strong wind, drench us and cut out power for a few days. We're glad to have Daddy home on Monday to carve the pumpkin with us since schools, work and government are preparing for wild weather.

8 months & 28 months

Sawyer seems to be getting bigger at a faster rate than Alice. He was born 8 months ago today! Sawyer's sitting, belly crawling, rolling, seeks out electrical outlets and cords, tries to eat dried leaves, enjoys baby food, always wants to be near people, pretends he cannot sleep at night to be with his parents, and warms your heart with his sweet willing smile.

Alice is definitely a two year old. She is able to TALK, get into anything, help when she wants, play, sing and dance, eat well, care for her baby dolls, chase the dog and "help" her brother.  If only she slept later. . .We really love our girl.

Open Gym

Great fun at our first gym visit and great naps afterwards!

DC visitor & Twirling

Katie had a conference in DC and we enjoyed a few hours together before she flew back to Boston. What a treat to be together again!

I made Alice a tutu and couldn't capture a picture of her facing me because she twirled all day :)

Holmes Cousin Fun

Our last day in Alabama was spent with Gigi, Poppy, Uncle John, Virginia and William in Gadsden. We played outside, watched football, ate great BBQ, kids pretended to have their own Talladega Race and went for a walk between rain drops. We're so glad they made the drive to spend time with us!!
