Fall Fun!

One of the best parts of Fall has to be the big piles of fallen leaves. There are a bunch of maple trees in front of the house so there are never a shortage of leaves.

This November has been pretty mild so far so you've been spending lots of time outside with your Baba and your Auntie Carrie (and cousin Josh) while Mama and Papa are at work. Auntie was nice enough to grab the camera one afternoon and get some pictures of you and Josh in the leaves.

Mack didn't want to be left out of the fun.

Yay! Leaves are fun!

Auntie do you want some leaves?

A photo update to catch you up

Halloween 2011

I never imagined how much thought could go into Halloween! Andre and I debated over what Emilie would be for Halloween, and Andre decided that he would get to choose her costume this year, and I could make next years choice. Andre's decision: a strawberry. It was a nice fleece costume, so we knew Emilie would be warm.

Finally the day arrived, and Carrie and I got Emilie and Josh together for a little photo shoot in their costumes with their pumpkins.

First came Emilie and her pumpkin:

You want me to look where?

At the pumpkin?

You?

Then came Josh:

This is what I think of this whole thing.

Is it time for us to go home yet Mom?

And finally Emilie and Josh:

Emilie: Josh isn't this fun? Josh: Whatever

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's....we don't know we're babies!

Emilie and Joshua

Everyone knows that Emilie has a little cousin, Joshua, who is just three months younger than her. They're destined to besties, they just don't know it yet!

Carrie brought Joshua over one day for a little photo shoot, and we got some nudie patootie shots of Josh and Emilie. I thought I would share their adorable nakedness with you all.
