How do you like them apples?

Yeah, I know I'm a handsome little man!

And good looking from this angle, too!




























The boy and his ball: Gavin loves a ball. Lucky for him, since we forgot to bring one into the festival, Paco made one for him out of foil. And, if you look closely in the background, a hungry Casey stuffs himself.

MMMmm! Hungry, Casey? That sandwich is bigger than you are!






















After moving to a new location, Paco and I have been trying out all that it has to offer. This weekend we decided to try an apple harvest festival. Nature walks, scarecrow making, face painting... Well, most of the activities were a bit beyond what Casey, Gavin, and Liam could enjoy at this time. So we relied on one of our favorite activities: the outdoor picnic!

Block Party

Soon after we arrived home from our trip, our street held a block party. We celebrated the official end of summer as the kids took each other on mad wagon rides.

The biggest family portrait so far

Whew! This one took a lot of takes.

Brother, Sister, Cousin!

Cousin Erin and Laura play with Liam and Gavin in the sand.

Swingfest! Everyone is on the swings at once. From left to right: Gavin, Casey, Liam, Laura, Meghan, and Erin.
