October 2013

October was a big month for Joe. First time in a grocery cart, first time swinging, first time walkering, and first time eating real food. He handled all of them like a champ. He became a walker speed-demon very quickly. 

Joe's first halloween. He was a monkey. Gianna and Mark, for the first time, really loved trick-or-treating. We went with the neighbors, so it was a fun time for everyone. 

Fall Saturdays

Soccer started in September too. Gianna is the smallest on her team (it's 1st and 2nd graders). But she is holding her own. And looking so cute doing it...not that that matters. She's having fun and really wants to improve every week.

 

And then we rest.

 

 

These are pumpkins grown from seeds Gianna's kindergarten teacher started for us in cups last fall. Not big enough for jack-o-laterns, but perfect for painting!
