Addy got to help decorate the Christmas tree this year and had so much fun.  She was very proud of her tree when we were all done.  Now just to figure out how to keep her from trying to redecorate the tree every day!!



Look who turned 4 months old on the day before Thanksgiving!!  We had lots to be thankful for.  He is now 16lbs 12 oz(75th percentile) and 26 3/4inches (90th percentile).  Big growing boy.




Addy and Graham hanging out on Sunday morning!!

I had Halloween off so I got to enjoy these two cuties all day.  We had so much fun trick or treating and visiting friends and family.  Graham was a monkey and Addy was a strawberry.  Addy pretty much ate her way through the day!!


This is what I came out of the shower to find the other day.  Addy had Graham all suggled in with all the things she sleeps with at night.  This poor boy is destined to a life full of "mothering" from his sister.



My two Halloween kids ready to go to daycare the day before Halloween.



When we bought this house, we knew we needed a different light in the dining room.  After looking for a year, and only finding one at Pottery Barn for $800 that we liked I got Josh to agree to make me the Pottery Barn version.  It turned out amazing!!!  He never ceases to amaze me with his skills and craftsmanship.




Addy checking out the first snow fall of the season.  She found out it is cold on the hands.

I don't know what Graham thought was so funny today but he was in a giggly mood so I had to get it on video.  He lights up our life with his big smiles and cute laugh.  It seems like just yesterday we were watching Addy figuring out laughing!!


Can you believe it!!!  Graham is 3 months old.  Where does the time go?

We have also been working on the exterior of our house but luckily Josh traded work with a guy and we got our house painted so we didn't have to do it.  Another work in progress but we are getting there.







When we moved into this house, we inherited the vintage 1970s bathrooms complete with gold shower and countertop.  So far we have tackled the main bath and the transformation looks great.  Josh always amazes me with his skills at home renovations and one day (in the distant future) we will be able to sit down and enjoy all our hard work.


Addy enjoyed helping us with the leaves in our yard last weekend.  Trying to enjoy as much of the outdoors as we can while the weather allows.



Addy has been talking about Daddy taking her on a fire truck some day since she figured out what they are, so when Burlington Fire Dept. had there benefit breakfast we knew we had to go so Addy could get her wish.  She wouldn't let us leave until she got to ride in it and then once she got in Josh said she wouldn't say a thing.

Addy giving me lessons on how to hold a baby.  I guess having had two of my own is not practice enough.  She loves to take care of her baby doll!!
Graham wore himself out playing under his play mat the other day!!  He is too cute when he sleeps.




The top three pictures are Addy's pumpkin that she painted.  The last picture is Graham's pumpkin that Daddy helped him paint.  You be the judge on who did a better job!!:)






As promised, Addy painted her pumpkin this past weekend and had so much fun doing it.  When Daddy asked her if we should name her pumpkin, she said yes.  Her name is Pumpkin.  I think she needs some help with naming creativity since her monkeys name is Monkey.




Graham loves his sister as you can tell by his big smile.  He also looks cute all bundled up to go outside for some play time before it gets too cold out.




Thanks Auntie Ida and Uncle Bob for the super cute hats for the kids.  Addy was so excited as you can tell. Graham loved it too, he just doesn't show it!!

We went to Berry Acres Pumpkin Patch this weekend with the kids and had lots of fun.  Climbing, sliding, train rides, corn maze, and of course pumpkins made for a fun time.  We will hopefully paint our pumpkin next weekend so I will post pictures when Addy is done with her masterpiece.  She needed a big pumpkin according the her so she will have lots of space to paint on.
