Hello Winter Playground

We are raising tough new englanders.  35 degrees won't keep us from getting fresh air outside.  Brenna & Nira were memorized by the neighbor boys throwing the football.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to pick out pumpkins at a nearby patch on an unusually warm October day.  The tractor and wagon were obviously big hits.  Brenna was intrigued by a bumpy gourd & insisted we take it home. The girls were less interested in carving the big pumpkin at home with Ted after they felt the squishy pulp inside.

New Hampshire Labor Day

Where did September and October go?  I can tell you October was unusually busy - even for our standards.  Ted was out of town or we had out of town guests the entire month.  Not to mention my work project go-live at the end of the month.  We are all recovering well after 2 quiet weekends at home.  Bring on the holidays :)

We spent a week at the NH cottage around Labor Day with the Kelly/Mubaiwa clan.  Brenna and Nora couldn't get enough of watering the garden.  Uncle K showed Brenna how to throw acorns in the lake - her new favorite activity.  Nora had a blast wading in the water - going up and down the steps with various buckets.

One of the days we ventured down to the NH coast.  The girls had a blast flying their kites again and we got lobsters for dinner - yum.

The last day we spotted a family of loons teaching their baby to fish.  Brenna & Nora were thrilled.  I love to see life through their eyes.
