Halloween 2011/Maggie

Here are some pictures from Halloween week. Our nanny, Maggie, has been so wonderful. She is so good with the boys and she loves to take them to some local hangouts. This day she took them to the library where they had a parade, story time, and snacks of course. Connor was a Fire Fighter some days during Halloween week, but also a silver knight. Daddy bought him a shield and sword to go with that costume, which he thought were pretty cool. Liam was Tigger, his chubby cheeks filled the costume perfectly :)

Aspen/Snowmass

Hi Liam!!

Finally getting around to posting some pictures from our weekend in the mountains. Travis ran a 1/2 marathon which gave us an excuse to spend time there. It was absolutely beautiful with all of the Fall colors. The Hunsinger's (minus Wade) joined us and it was a great weekend. It was so much fun to take the kids on one of my favorite bike paths in CO. The pool and hot tubs at our condo were awesome.

Ellie was the "line leader"!

Day With Thomas/ Hiking with Mel and Katelyn

We finally got to meet the REAL Thomas the Train. It was very exciting and Connor had a blast. Travis wanted to ask Sir Topham Hat who the 2nd most useful engine was, but Connor was as a loss for words seeing him in person :)

We had fun today hiking w/ Mel(Trav's

cousin) and Katelyn. Connor loves climbing on the rocks and playing in the dirt. Here are some more pix...

I wish I knew how to turn this picture upright (any help Tennyson or anyone?). It it pretty funny. Liam's bottle dropped and Connor was saying "all clean" as he "washed" it off in the river. He and the bottle are full of mud!

Biking again, finally!

It took a while, but we are finally able to bike again. We're all geared up with our double Chariot, infant sling, and the beautiful weather that we've been having. It's so nice to be able to hop on the trail 2 houses down from ours and ride along some nice rivers/streams and actually get somewhere! Yesterday we rode down to the Platte River Trail and had lunch in downtown Littleton. One of these times I want to make it all the way downtown. I just think it's so cool to be able to do that here without riding on one single street.

Back to Reality

We are officially back to work and back to reality! Travis started a new job, which so far has been a blessing. Luckily we found a great nanny, Maggie, so the kids will be safe and happy with her and with Joyce.

We had a great summer and a wonderful trip back to New York. We had so much fun with the family and Connor already misses his cousins! He had a blast playing with the gazillion trains that are there too. Good thing we won't be there this weekend for the hurricane!

Welcome Baby Liam!

We welcomed with love Liam David on June 10th, 2011. What a breeze compared to the birth of baby #1. He is such a wonderful baby and luckily a great sleeper! This makes mommy and daddy able to get through these first few weeks without too much difficulty. He looks very similar to his older brother when he was a baby. Grandma and Grandpa from NY were here and helped out tremendously! We got to celebrate Father's Day with them here which was great.

Connor's THREE !!!

After a long Blogger drought, I finally decided now that I have a new camera (thanks G & G), I need to figure this out. We threw together a last minute birthday party for Connor at our local park and everyone had a great time! Connor requested dump trucks on his cake, so despite what I wanted, that's what he got. He's still completely into Thomas, Cars, and anything that involves running. We are anxious to start him in a soccer league at the end of this month where he can use some of his energy. Baby #2 will be here any day and Connor couldn't be more excited. We've got him on video explaining how he's going to be such a great big brother and he's so excited to share all of his toys :) Hopefully our next blog will have the new star featured!

Having fun at the park
