Halloween...Then and Now

What a difference a year makes! Sylvie was much happier this year as a pumpkin. The days of the crying fowl are gone. She enjoyed her second Halloween with all her little friends at a party hosted by Eva. It was a little insane and a lot of fun.

The Three Amigos

Sylvie got to spend some quality time with her cousins Jordan and Olivia on our visit to Western NY, or 'upstate', as we call anything north of the city. Nana and Pappa were in heaven having their three little ones together. I get the feeling we parents are just in the way.

Pumpkin Patch

We visited our family back home in Western NY a week ago and had a great time. Sylvie's Grandma took us to a pumpkin farm where she got to pick her own pumpkin, run through a maze of hay, and crawl through a tunnel. It was a blast for this city girl.

SMOOOOOOTHIE for dinner PLEEEEEEEASE!!!

Ahhhhhh. With 2 molars popping through, it was time for industrial strength smoothies. For dinner.
Whatever it takes, right?

mmm mmm mmm...french toasties

Here's Sylvie getting a kick out her french toast breakfast.

Who Needs Sears Portrait Studio?

Lucky for us, one of Sylvie's favorite people, Statia, is an amazing photographer! She made this portrait during our photo shoot/play date on Friday, October 12th. It is one of my favorite pictures of Sylvie. We had a little more difficulty keeping the girls in one spot this time around. By the end of the day, Sylvie got the hang of it, sat on the white seemless, looked strait at Statia and said "cheese"! Nothing like a little ham with cheese.

Summer in October?

Who knew it would be 80 degrees on October 7th? Sylvie and Riley made the most of it and enjoyed Sunday brunch at George and Marti's followed by a romp in the pool. Not a bad life...

All in the Family

Budding Picassos

Sylvie and her BFF Zoe paint the world fantastic. Varying in style, Sylvie chose the total immersion approach while Zoe was much more refined, choosing a paint brush for her detailed masterpiece.

Is that Daddy?
