Halloween Parade

Our neighborhood had its annual Halloween parade yesterday. Iain led the way with the bagpipes and the kids had a great time!

It took us about 45 minutes to convince Kai to put on his costume. After he got it on, he didn't try to take it off, but he wanted nothing to do with getting his picture taken.

 

Marine Corps Marathon Fun Run

Audrey & Avery ran in the 1-mile fun run on Saturday. They ran the whole way. So proud of them!

The Last of an Era

Iain and Kai are taking down his crib and we don't have any plans to use it again! Happy and sad about this reality...

Iain's 15-Year Reunion

Two weekends ago we went to CT for Iain's 15-year reunion. We stayed with some great friends and had a great time. Here are a few pix.

(The pic of Kai with something in his mouth is a bone from a chicken wing. I wish I had taken a pic of the actual bone. He ate EVERYTHING off the bone.)

Coal Mine and Boat Show

Three weekends ago, we went to Pennsylvania to ride a train and see a coal mine, and then to Annapolis to a boat show. It was a last-minute decision (I made the plug for Niagara Falls but Iain thought 14 hours in the car in two days was too much) and we had a great time! Here are a few pix. One of the highlights was eating in a diner in a small town for breakfast and the short order cook invited Audrey to cook her own eggs on the griddle. They set her up on a chair, tied an apron on, and let her go. She had so much fun!

And Avery learned how to do the monkey bars!
