So many events, so little time!

Boo!

Another action-packed week or two... so many pictures it was hard to choose. I'll just start from the top and leave you with a Halloween teaser. About two weeks ago, we were tipped off to a trail in the woods. Sonny jumped into his backpack and off we went!

Shortly thereafter, Aunt Sal came by with a very special suprise - Sonny's first pair of Vans. These are the original checked slip-ons, identical to daddy's first pair. Thanks Amanda!

There was a nap in the living room with Dad, and a precious moment caught on video with Walter - that boy makes some strange sounds!

We were all invited to Anahita's 2nd birthday party - we saw some old friends, and Sonny made some new ones. Thanks to Roya & Matt for inviting us - a truly great time was had by all!

Then we stopped by Jen, Scott, and Roxy's for a quick hello on our way home from the birthday party / autumn harvest festival. Congrats to the soon-to-be newlyweds!

Finally, I leave you with the aforementioned teaser... "Plumber. Candygram. I'm just a dolphin, ma'am."

We're gonna need a bigger, more adorable boat.

Octoberfest!

There he is folks, pumpkin butt! Oddly enough, it's padded to soften the landing which also makes it irresistible for smacking (lightly). This month, he stands - a lot.

A certain grandmother would have him be an Eagles fan. Please don't judge him until he's old enough to dress himself, when he will deserve your criticism. And below, guitar dreams.

We all went to an Autumn Harvest Festival at Ringwood State Park, where the bratwurst was delicious, the pumpkin beer flowed nicely, and the music was country (but in a good way).

Take note of the teeth in this shot (above). And below, evidence of a premature curiosity toward beer... yikes. We're not sure where he would get that from.



Finally, more barking and laughing with Walter. Note the camera grab at the end. Stay tuned; more Octoberfest coming soon!
