October Happenings

What a busy month!  We've had all kinds of stuff going on in October.  Here are some highlights:

 Charlotte is constantly snuggling the baby - she just can't stop herself.  Usually it's sweet, but all of this affection gets out of hand sometimes.

 Annelise has chunked up nicely - she's very chubby these days.

 Finley is almost as crazy about Annelise as Charlotte is.

Here's an example of the way the big kids just climb all over the baby.

 One minute Annelise was lying peacefully on her play mat - the next minute, a hard hat had appeared on her head.  Some people in this house think she's basically a little doll.

The whole family went down to Massachusetts to watch Daddy run the Baystate Marathon.  Here's Finley posing with Daddy's finisher medal.

 A rare moment where Charlotte is near Annelise but isn't manhandling her.

Finley turned 6 a few days ago - he was a lucky boy and had two cakes.  The excavator cake is from Mommy and the gumdrop cake is from Nana.

Just a few days ago we got a visit from Uncle Jake, and of course we also took the kids out for Halloween.  We'll post some pictures from these exciting events soon!
