Halloween

Although we purchased the dog costume for last Halloween, Evan wanted to wear it to school this year. He named himself Sparky.

In the neighborhood, we went out as a monkey. Evan decided on this costume for Halloween 2010 because Gwen was also going to be a monkey.

He had such a blast Trick-or-treating. Evan ran from house to house and filled up his alligator!

We had a busy Halloween weekend. After school on Friday, we went to visit friends in Syracuse. Jack, Evan, and Matthew (aka Mario, Lion, Luigi) went to the Zoo Boo and had a blast. We just about knocked this blow up pumpkin over taking pictures. Three boys will do that!

We started our 4 day Halloween celebration with Music with Mar on Thursday. Here are my two little monkeys!

And yes, they did drive us batty this weekend! But, we love them for it!

So Long

It has been such a long time since we last posted here. So, in an effort to save myself some time I am going to try to link to photos on facebook. Wish me luck and hope you can see some new pictures of the family. Gwen is already 5 months old! She is a bundle of joy- always smiling, loves to eat, and the cutest little thing ever!

Gwen is 4 months old!

Gwendolyn's Baptism

Gwen was baptized on Sunday! We had a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends!
That shiny silver thing is Gwen's new bracelet. It was a gift from Gwen's godparents.

Windmill Point

We were invited to spend the day at a friend's cottage in Windmill Point, Canada. The entire family had a blast. I intended these photos to start with the last one, and finish with the great shot below. Oh well!

Evan and his buddy, Julian, take a few minutes to water the plants. Tim needs to teach Evan how to "water" without fully exposing himself.

Gwen hanging out during lunch. She is growing so quickly and such a joy!

Evan, Julian, and Quinn enjoying chips and hotdogs for lunch.

Swimming

Evan is also taking swim lessons with his buddy Andrew this summer. He is doing really well and even used some of what he learned while on vacation.

Future Soccer Star

Evan started soccer lessons at the end of June with a few of his friends. He loves it, especitally wearing the shin guards, and now has games in the yard with Daddy, Mommy, and Samson!
