Halloween in WNY

I came across these photos on a social networking site (posted by a Jeremy F), and thought they should be showcased here. I'm assuming this was a pre-school festivity for Chelsea, the princess costume is a popular one... Chelsea's cousin chose a princess costume as well.



Update from Halloween night. Avery looks like he could be a real fire-fighter, cool costume!

Flying Solo

Mom and Dylan went to MA this past weekend, while Maddie and I spent some quality time together in MI. I know, the picture quality stinks... I forgot the camera and had to resort to the phone.

We made her favorite rounds -- Starbucks, followed by pb kids, she absolutely loves that store. Madison could spend the entire day there, moving the dolls from one stroller to the next -- I think we logged in a solid hour on this particular trip.

Bus ride

Maddie loves riding these mini-trucks, we cannot pass one by without a request for a ride. She has a fascination with school buses in particular, anytime we pass one by in our car -- she'll call it out, and then ask to see another. Whenever we spot a school bus, we all yell it out as if it's the first school bus we have ever seen.

I've found myself wanting to yell School Bus when no one else is in the car but me...

Afternoon snooze

Mom snuck in these pics in the afternoon. The spike hairdo is no coincidence either - - everyday Mom styles his hair just so. He's been sleeping in good intervals, eating well, and keeping his sister entertained.

During tummy time yesterday - - the little guy rolled over again! I like to test him and see if he can still pull off the tummy-to-back rollover maneuver.

More pics of the new guy

Well, he's over a month old now -- we transitioned him to the crib last weekend, so far he seems to be satisfied with the new arrangement.

Nothing really to update... just wanted to get some newer pics posted.

Maddie's Masterpiece

Maddie assembled this tower with only a little bit of outside assistance from her mother -- note the color coordinated levels.... a fine piece of architecture if I do say so myself.
