Danger is her middle name

She was so proud of herself for climbing up onto the stool:

... then she REALLY climbed onto it:

Ummm, Elliott? What are you doing over there?




Evil Knievel in training:

Fall Photo Shoot

This would be a great shot if it weren't for the nose picking ...

Halloween

Elliott wore her Scout costume FIVE times this week and every time I tried to get a shot of them together. It almost worked.

They both hated their costumes this day.

Aaaaalmost ...

Dogs all around!

Trick or treating ... we didn't actually knock on any doors but we went for a walk ...

Elliott discovered the candy bucket:

Uncle Brother holds a baby!

Happy 3rd B-Day, Julia!

The happy parents:

Trick or Treat!

The businesses of Brighton Center gave out candy this afternoon -- it was MOBBED. Elliott saw a lot of dogs ("woof woof") and Carter got his picture taken by strangers (he's that cute).

A Halloween Post

My VAL-uable show dogs. I'll try to get a better picture this weekend.

We had lunch with my old co-workers and got our photo taken at the photo booth. Then Elliott climbed the stairs of the Grand Lobby in the Wang Theatre about 14 times. She took a VERY long nap this afternoon.

Time Flies

A little over a year ago, Heather and I met in a 1st time mom group -- now we have toddlers?!? If anyone out there is a new or soon-to-be mom, I'd HIGHLY recommend joining a Great Beginnings Group at Isis Parenting or a similar group. We had such a fantastic experience -- we are so sad that our friends are slowly moving away ... E and Maddie were daycare buddies last winter and having Heather right across the street this year has been great.

Stuff and Things

When did Elliott become the big kid?!?!

Josie is a very happy camper:

"Hey Kristopher, GET OFF -- that's MY Daddy!"

Random Fun

Getting ready for a good ol' New England winter:

Morning cuddle time:

"Elliott, where is your tongue?"

Scout likes Nutella, too:

Flahuvan weekend

Elliott went on an adventure to Drumlin Farm this weekend with the Flahuvans. Then she saw them on Sunday and AGAIN on Monday. She likes animals, cheering on runners and playing with iPhones. She LOVES the Flahuvans.
