Halloween

What a difference a year makes. Last year, Nicholas
was sleeping in a pumpkin patch (remember this?)



This year, Nicholas dressed up as a fierce (okay, friendly)
dragon. Our neighborhood trick or treat features a haunted
block and while Nicholas was unphased by the haunts, Evan
nearly jumped out of his skin when a man in a gorilla suit
tapped on his shoulder. If only I had a picture of that.

Tissue Anyone?

Well, I guess cold and flu season is officially here. Nicholas survived his first cold and thanks to a pesky runny nose he even learned how to help himself to a Kleenex. Make that plural. As you can see from these pictures, Nicholas is well on the road to recovery.

A Contagious Laugh

Grandpa Ted always tells us that it is
important to make sure your children
have a good sense of humor. Well, Nicholas
seems to have a pretty good one. You never
know what will make him erupt in laughter.
Here is a video from last night at storytime.
Nicholas seemed to think the word "boon"
(short for balloon)was very funny.

Going for a Walk

A Family Hike

If you follow this blog you know that Evan is often
the man behind the camera. Well, today was my chance
to take some photos of my two favorite guys. This is
Nicholas' first hike and even though it was amidst the
flat terrain of Brookfield we think it was good pratice
for a Yellowstone trip in the not so distant future. Enjoy!

Winter is here?!

The temperature is dropping here in WI
so we took Nicholas' new hat for a test run today.
