We've got SNOW!!

and Mark is still unimpressed :)

Halloween and tyring on shoes

some smiles from the last week

between two new molars and a cold there haven't been nearly as many as usual, but I got a couple of happy baby shots in the last few weeks.

HI Daddy!

We miss you and can't wait to see you on Saturday.

Last weekend

We went for a hike- it is definitely fall at higher elevations. (It is kinda fall down here on the plain too- but we aren't ready to admit it)



Little one thought he need to see what was in mommies purse.

Marks new word

Make sure you turn the volume up he is kinda quiet.

I just don't seem to get to this any more frequently than once a month anymore. It was a lot easier when he was smaller. Now every time I try and use the computer he wants to help. Oh well. Here are a few from his first day of preschool and a few from our trip to the NJ shore.I've got the keys and am ready to go.
That is our little bear running! He is so fast now.
No trip to the shore is complete without a walk on boardwalk. On daddies shoulders is his new favorite spot.
After a few hours of refusing to even touch the sand he saw some birds and chased them all around- which lead to going in and learning about the waves.

We went backpacking this weekend!

This is on our little hike to get water. Wouldn't you like to live in this field? When it's last owner died in the late 1800's it went for 700$

I sat on this downed tree and then Mark spent a long time trying to sit on it like I did :)

This is the sun coming up in the morning. Our two person backpacking tent was a little tight for the three of us, but we managed.
I don't know if you can see how happy Mark is in this photo- but he really is. We had to wait out a thunderstorm before we set off so we played in the car. It also started raining 10 minutes after we got back to the car on Sunday. But it didn't rain on us :)

A nice long hike

Mark has friends

We had a couple of great playdates this week. Mark is really enjoying hanging out with other kids. It is so cute to watch them play near each other. I don't know when cooperative play starts- but for now it is fun to see how happy they are together.
