Thanksgiving (and Earplugs)

Our Pilgrims.

Stella's First Thanksgiving.

A full table.

Our post-dinner walk through the pond.

Looking for the items in the bottom of the toy basket.

Checking out Momma's new pink earplugs (an impulse purchase for one tired momma with one vocal baby who loves to nurse in the wee hours of the night...and the morning).

Our Eleven Month Old

We've definitely reached the end of our "Let's see how much Stella has grown next to Dog" phase.  Stella is a mobile girl.  She's also chatting up a storm, cutting her top, left, front tooth, eating dinner with us, and waving bye-bye.  Love, love, love.

Hanging with her baby -- a favorite activity.

The Spy, Vampire, Dinosaur, and Giraffe

We had a great Halloween this year with a pumpkin carving party and two trick or treat outings -- an earlier one for all four kiddos and an evening one with the twins and our friends.  We managed to stay dry, cross paths with classmates and J's teacher, and head home with way too much candy.

Getting into character.

Heading out for round one of trick of treating.

Stella's first Halloween.

Trick or treating in the Wedgwood business district.
