Happy Halloween!



We had a very eventful and fun Halloween weekend. Garrett was an adorable Dragon. He was excited about his costume and made his fair share of monster noises. On Friday we did a little trick-or-treating at some local businesses. Garrett enjoyed seeing the sights; though it was a little overwhelming. Afterwards, he played with two of his best girlfriends, Jemma and CiCi. They are super cute together and like to give each other lovies.

































Saturday, we attended a Halloween party at one of our neighbors and new friends patio. Garrett had a blast :). They're were big boys for Garrett to run around with and pretty little ladies to play with-- he's often surrounded by pretty ladies. We played fun games like pin the wart on the witch. I helped make spooky cupcakes and jello cups with gummy body parts-- they were a huge hit. The party was a lot fun, and thoroughly wore out both Garrett and Mommy.

Corn Maze

A few weeks ago, Garrett and I joined a large group of friends for a corn maze adventure. My friend, Monica, rented a 15-passenger van to transport the brood to Connecticut. We went to this huge, beautiful farm. Garrett had a great time. We let him lead the way in the maze. Garrett was very proud when we got to the end. He put his arms up in the air; it was soo cute.

Apple Pickin'





















Garrett and I went apple pickin' with our good friends Monica and Ilker. We went to this beautiful farm in Connecticut. They had a gorgeous apple orchard, a pumpkin patch, and petting zoo. Garrett loved the apples and animals. There was a Thomas train in the zoo; Garrett was in heaven-- animals and trains! We all enjoyed tasty apple cider donuts and the beautiful autumn setting :).

A Play and Daddy's Day


In May we went to see Aunt Isabelle's (Garrett's aunt) play, Redbeard's Revenge. The play was fun and very charming.
















Isabelle was lovely and funny as a mischievous charm school student. Garrett and Mia loved the silly pirates.































This year for the Father's Day weekend we went to the circus and had visited Great-Grandpa Ralph.




The circus was a blast, if not a little too long for a toddler's attention span. We got soaked on the way back to the car :). Garrett loved the dog tricks.





























Brendan got a kick out of watching the kids play in the water. Garrett loves the sprinkler!
