Trick or Treat

This was Brynnie's first year to go trick or treating. We went with her friends Max and Zack.

We were surprised at how quickly she caught on...after a few houses she was racing down the street for the next one and scooping up as much candy as she could at every door. Thankfully she was a good girl and said "trick or treat" and "thank you." She also obliged, if asked, to demonstrate what a bumble bee says "buzzzzzzz...."

Happy Halloween

Brynn celebrated Halloween for the past few days, wearing festive gear....this picture is from this afternoon.

Apple Picking

This afternoon we went to Shelburne Farm in Stow for apple picking. As reported, the apples this year are HUGE. We brought home a lot of variety: Macoun, Red Delicious, Spencer, Ida Red, and McIntosh...

We also saw goats, sheep, a llama...had some candy apples...checked out the pumpkins and pony rides. Brynnie had a blast! She ate her way through the orchard - is anyone surprised?

Driving Miss Daisy

Zion got behind the wheel of Brynn's Jeep this weekend. They had a blast and drove so much that they wore out the battery two times!

Make Way for Gardeners

Brynnie and I love to garden in our yard...she especially loves digging the dirt and watering the plants. Here we are with our gardening totes and tools.

Trip to Maine

Sara and Jon joined us for a few days of summer fun in Maine this past week.

The weather was great and we took advantage of it by spending time out on the boat tubing and water skiing. Brynnie also went tubing - she loved it so much she went more than once!


Brynnie is ready!

Brynn turns TWO!

Today we celebrated Brynn's second birthday at the beach. She LOVES the beach so we figured it would be the perfect way to spend her special day.

We were up at Wingearsheek when they opened...and Brynnie went running right into the water as soon as we got there. And she didn't come out until we left after lunch.
It was a great birthday!!


You don't need much more than the beach and a dump truck...


Watching the remote control truck an old man ran around with.


New wheels! Learning how to drive...Barbie Jeep style.

Safety first: helmet and seat belt.
