Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we had a very nice Thanksgiving! It was one of the nicer ones I can remember. We had some special guests join us from NY this year. Daddy's cousin Adam came along with Tony, to join us for the weekend. We started by watching the parade in the morning. David was very excited to see all the balloons and the bands. He especially like all the drums! Nana and Uncle Greg joined us for a wonderful dinner and then Mommy and David went to visit everyone at Debbie MC's house. We got to spend a lot of time with Adam and Tony and they made this Thanksgiving very nice for us. We had many things to be thankful for this year, especially our newest family members, Cate and James. In a very troubling time for our country, we were so thankful for our family, our health and just being together!

Happy Halloween!

This year was a fun Halloween because David actually understood the concept of trick-or-treating. It was a little worriesome in the beginning as every time we asked David what he wanted to be, he kept responding "I just want to be David." He finallly agreed to be a dragon/dinasour, becuse of his favorite character from Baby Einstein, or as we like to call him, the Blah guy.

Once we actually got the Blah costume, it took another couple of days to convince him to actually put it on.... Once we got it on, he wanted to wear it all the time. When we were practicing what to say when we went trick-or-treating, we would ask him and he would respond "Blah!" He finally got it down and off we went! We hit a few of the neighborhood houses and then made a special trip to Nana's and then to his cousin's. The little pumpkins did make one visit to our next door neighbor's and then we returned them home to greet trick-or-treaters with Daddy.

Thanks to our good friend Beth D., we had the cutest little pumpkins in the patch this year! These costumes were just too fitting for them both. I think this may be the first and last time that I can dress them alike!
