Halloween 2008

Our community trick-or-treats on a scheduled day. This year, it was Thursday the 30th.


Our little Steelers cheerleader


It took a lot of coaxing to get A to wear this "smock", but once he had it on and once people started saying, "Hey! It's Thomas the Train!", he was all about wearing it. This was also his first year in a cumbersome Halloween costume: This wasn't a stepping-up-on-the-curb-friendly outfit.


A and his friend Sophia




Our last stop was at Nana's house, where the kids like to sing (and play!) along with her at the piano.

Fall Foliage 2008

I had raked up most of the leaves already, but this blustery day provided us with more dropped leaves and Fall color. I love Fall!

A's 1st pony ride where he rode "side saddle" in that the saddle was sliding off the SIDE of the horse. M has a white-knuckle grip on him.


C's latest thing is to get everyone to look under the table.
