Halloween Parade

Our 'hood had a halloween parade and a little monkey showed up...

(look closely to see runny nose)

(look closely to see a Geisha in the background!)

First Tooth....

...is almost impossible to document. But it's there!

Daddy discovered it while changing diaper on Friday morning.

It's small, white and razor-sharp. We're sure more will be coming soon.

Hooray for the TOOTH!

Eating Breakfast with Daddy

Monday

Al's school was closed so we were lucky enough to have Grandma come down and spend the day.

Fortunately Alistair was a happy camper...

And, Grandma brought along her iphone for these snazzy photos.

UNFORTUNATELY, no one thought to take any photos of Al and Grandma!

But we'll get lots when we go visit the Robertsons and Spreigls this weekend.

Happy Brown Bear

Compost Bin

It's not all baby baby baby all the time around here...

Despite colds and cold weather, Al's Daddy was able to complete this stunning apparatus for grass clippings and organic waste. It could double as an outdoor kennel for Blue.

We also learned a new magic trick...

*Poof!*

He appears to be sleeping so peacefully in that round crib...

Brrr....

...fall is here

Either the red-eye reduction doesnt work, or we have a vampire on our hands....

Fun with sheepdog brother

Blue Eyes

We've been wondering if they would stay blue.... and it appears there is no doubt

...just like his MVP namesake!

Really fuzzy hair after a bath!

Rough Week....

...But all's well that ends well. Al feeling better,

Twins winning,
