Maple Lawn Farm Field Trip

Yesterday threatened snow flurries so we bundled up and braved the cold for Alice's preschool trip to our nearby turkey farm. Maple Lawn Farm has been in the same family since 1839, farming 1000 acres, 140 dairy cows, and what looked like zillions of turkeys for Thanksgiving. Alice liked the barn cats, calves drinking bottles, big cows, blue-headed boy turkeys and pink-faced girls, and her friends Katie and Ariana :)

"Boston Girls"

We were reminded again what great folks the Cahills are after having them visit this weekend. Alice was thrilled to have another "Boston girl" at her house with Elyse and Caroline here. It worked perfectly for Katies' medical conference and last trip before maternity leaves ends to bring them here. We look forward to reuniting sometime at their place in Boston---hopefully sooner than later!

Halloween fun

Our first apple pie attempt was a great success!

The preschool Halloween wasn't much but the kids felt like stars in their costumes. This year was our first Halloween in this neighborhood and it is so festive and full of kids trick or treating.
