Randomness...

Our friend, Jeremy, was in town for work one weekend.  Emma loved that extra attention!

We love Sophie!

It's not the easiest thing to clean, but Abigail loves eating bananas from it.

Abigail loves to eat dinner at the table with us.

Sledding Fun!

The snow is here to stay around our neighborhood so we started taking full advantage of the winter wonderland-like conditions.  I think it is safe to say that both girls LOVE taking rides in the sleds.

Fun With Aunt Tina!

My sister was here for a long weekend.  She always has fun stuff planned!  Her and Emma had a fun day together on Friday (while Mom and Dad were at work).

Aunt Tina had some fun Thanksgiving crafts planned.

6 Months Old!

I can't believe it.  I just can't believe our little Abigail is already 6 months old.  She is developing quite the personality, too.   She started sleeping through the night around 10 weeks but, then, around 4 months, she decided to start getting up once or twice in the middle of the night and hasn't turned back again, yet.  Soon, I hope, soon....

One Last Hurrah

Our good friends, the McCormicks (and Emma's very good friend, Olive) are moving to NH in about a week so we had one last get-together last night.  I can't take credit for most of these photos.  The credit must go to Piper and Riley Hastings (1st grade and pre-K).  I must say, they captured some keepers.

Mmmm...pasta

Wheee!

Piper, Emma, Katharine, Olive, Riley

Don't ask.

Ummmm....When I "undressed" Emma before we left, she had 6 pairs of underwear (not including the one around her shoulders) and 3 pairs of pants on.

Good luck with everything, Maggie and family!!!

Olive's cat got quite the attention last night.

Halloween 2013

Our Halloween began with our annual Pumpkin Carving Party!

I made the fun-shaped ships by using cookie cutters on tortillas.

 Now this is some intense concentration...

Just a few of the kids, decorating their pumpkins.

 The final works of art...

Unfortunately, I had class on Halloween night (boo!) so I captured just a couple of photographs when I dropped the girls off at school. (Thank you, Grandma Sherry, for the adorable costumes!)
