Hello big sister!

Happy Halloween

We had a fun Halloween with our Nemo fish and pumpkin! Caroline has been so excited for months to be Nemo and has been wearing and carrying her costume around everywhere! Finally the day came! Miriam came to go trick-or-treating with us like last year (a great tradition!) and surprised Caroline with a Dory costume! Ken got a Nemo hat so he could be Nemo's daddy, and they were off!

Caroline loved knocking on doors and saying "trick or treat" or sometimes "trick or Halloween!"Jacob was our cute little pumpkin!

He even got to go to a few houses for trick or treating with his big sister

Back at home and not quite ready to take off her costume, Nemo did some swimming with Dory!

Fall in New England

We have had a great fall, and Caroline has loved watching all of the leaves fall. We got her a rake so she could help this year; not sure how much "helping" she did but it was fun!Up to her middle in the leaf pilePlaying in the leaf pile!We made a jack-o-lantern for Halloween. Caroline did NOT want to touch the inside of the pumpkin but was ok using a spoon to help scoop.She was SO proud of the jack-o-lantern and loved watching the candle lit up inside; I love watching all of these fun fall rituals through the eyes of my girl!

Scarecrow Festival

We went to a Scarecrow Festival while Miriam was here a few weeks ago and had a good time. We looked at a lot of scarecrows, rode the train, and checked out all the exhibits.
