Happy Holidays Everyone!

Fall update...

Here are some pictures to recap our Fall adventures. We (see previous post) went to a fun pumpkin farm, and Anna was a black cat for Halloween, too. She loved it and so did Erin.

Erin is 9 months old now and is doing so much -- all of a sudden. In one month, she got 4 teeth, starting crawling, started going from crawling to sitting, is standing and starting eating ALL table food. Crazy! She is doing well and is 18 lbs 9 oz and 28 inches long. Average weight and above average length.

Just to note, thankfully, we were not impacted by fire. We were lucky that our only annoyance was being inside for like 4 days straight since the air was not great. But, in all, it could have been sooooo much worse. Whew!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Fall pictures!

Anna's first rollercoaster ride!

Anna rode her first real roller-coaster at LegoLand! It is pretty big, for a 3 year old, and Dan had the video camera to document it! While Anna was slightly tramatized, she seemed to be pretty proud of herself that she rode it. We were too!

Summer pictures!

Summer is over -- boo. So, here are some pics to recap our fun few months of LegoLand, the pool (Anna can "swim" all by herself with her life-vest on!), Dan's company's summer picnic and just hanging out at home.

Hope everyone is doing well!
