Christmas Card 2010

Before we spent the afternoon at Uncle Geoff and Aunt Jen's we went to the beach and took a TON of pictures for our Christmas card this year! I can't show you too many because I don't want to spoil the card for you, but here are a few that I'm pretty sure I won't be using! The kids had a GREAT time in the cool sand and playing on the beach. It was a GORGEOUS day and while it was cool, it wans't COLD and the beach had a good amount of people on it- for November!

Welcome Jack Henry

Congratulations to our very good friends Uncle Geoff and Aunt Jen and Tommy who welcomed their newest member to the family on November 1st- Jack Henry George!

Today, the kids and I ventured down the shore for some beach time, photo shooting and to visit our new "nephew/cousin". Big Brother Tommy is great with Jack and keeps an eye on him at all times. He even went over to check on Jack when he started to cry in the swing. Addison and Nicholas were fascinated by Jack and LOVED holding him- as did mommy!!

Jack is a GREAT eater and so tiny! We loved meeting him and can't wait to get to know him more!

Corn A-Maze-ing

 We had another fun-filled Fall Saturday today!
Last month when we went pumpkin picking all Nicholas really wanted to do was go in the Corn Maze.  In an effort to get him to focus on the pumpkins and fun we were having that day I promised him that we would go to a corn maze before Fall was over.
I can't stand corn mazes.
Today, I made good on my promise and we, along with a bunch of friends, went out to Chester and visited Alstede Farms and their GIANT corn maze.
Nicholas had a ton of fun!  Mommy and Addie, would have been happy to walk around the farm and stay out of the corn maze.
The kids got to play on the bounce house, climb the giant hay mountain and crawl through a hay tunnel.  They had a great time playing together and enjoying the Fall day!

Happy Halloween 2010!!

Happy Halloween everyone!

We hope that you all had as nice of a Halloween as we did! Pat and I were on our way back from friends' wedding on Sunday (pictures to come) and the kids were with Grandma and Pop-pop for the weekend so we spent our Halloween in Chatham. We carved pumpkins with Aunt Jessica in the afternoon and then had an early dinner before heading out for Trick-or-Treating.

Nicholas was Buzz Lightyear and Addie was Jessie- both from Toy Story. We decided to make it a family affair this year and Pat and I went as "poor" renditions of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head from Toy Story. I think the kids enjoyed our costumes more than anything else, well, after all the candy!

They had a great time going from house to house and getting lots of loot! Once we got home we stopped in to see Aunt Meaghan so the kids could show off their costumes and get one last piece of candy!
