Visit with Anna

We had a great visit with Bryan, Sarah, and cousin Anna yesterday. She and Griffin have a great time together!!

The baldies playing on the Musical Playground...
Happy guy!
Schuyler shows offer her strength.
What a happy, sweet little girl!!

On the move!

Griffin is officially on the move, climbing stairs, crawling everywhere ('commando' style). He is such a daredevil and is going to give me a heart attack one of these days. Unlike Schuyler, who was (and is) a cautious child, Griffin is BUSY and WITHOUT WORRY. He is going to give me a heart attack!
The kids, footie pajamas and all, trying to pull open the baby gate...

Osterville Parade 2008

We did the annual Osterville parade on Halloween, this was the first year with no Bay school - the party was at the library/in the park. The kids got a lot of wear out of their costumes this year and it was a very fun Halloween.

Schuyler stares down 'another Dorothy'!

Griffin and Rich do the parade.
Schuyler and Sophia. Such big girls!!!

Writing and Drawing

Schuyler all of a sudden is showing a lot of progress with her drawing and writing. I love it. She is still struggling with her name (it's a long one!!) but can write many letters with accuracy. I took some pictures of her 'tree book' from school this week (holly, pine). She's also drawing lots of people, 'babies', flowers, and she loves to draw the sun. I wonder if she'll end up with Rich's artistic abilities? It's very cool to see it all develop.
