hello, october

wow . . . it's october 1st already!  i did manage to get some fall decorations and some halloween decorations up around the house, so that's a win.  the weather has been back-and-forth, but now it's starting to really feel like fall.

labor day 2024

i never got around to sharing photos from labor day.  in addition to enjoying the italian festival on labor day weekend we all got together for some dinner and for noah to open his birthday presents that he didn't get around to opening during his birthday celebrations.

it was nice to get together to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall.

love, laurie

big swing

grandma and grandpa joined us at lakeland orchard this past weekend to pick some apples and see the halloween light show.

while waiting for the train noah joined grandma and grandpa on the "big swing" and he reminded me for two days after that he went on the big swing.

love, laurie

crazy man

i don't know anyone else who springs out of bed in the morning, puts on dad's headphones, and starts twirling around with the cat toy.  not even fully awake yet and already causing mischief daily.

love, laurie

noah's first trip to the dentist

noah recently survived his first trip to the dentist and was very excited to find out that he got a winnie the poo toothbrush to take home with him.

he did really great at the dentist despite the fact that he refused to take off his sunglasses the entire time we were there!
