Halloween (afternoon) at Aunt Lisa's

After Mimi and Papa's, we drove out to Aunt Lisa's house to go trick-or-treating! There was a (flying) Super Baby Brian, Cowboy Dylan, Supergirl Katie, Bunny Grace, Buzz Lightyear Kieran, and Superwoman Maggie. Baby Connor was there too, but he didn't make it into the picture...

Happy Halloween!

Halloween (morning) at Mimi & Papa's

Handsome cowboy!

Fun with Sophia

The weekend before last, Nonna came for her bimonthly visit and brought some visitors...

Nonna is clearly happy to see her grandson:) Dylan is happy to see some snacks in her hand.

Checking out the coin-operated toys at the mall. Thank goodness for dual steering!

Baby Brian's Baptism

Here's Dylan in the back of the church, all dressed up for Baby Brian's big day. How handsome!?

Fun-filled Fall Weekend, Part II

On Saturday morning we headed up to the farmers' market in Cold Spring. On our way home, we stopped in at Fahnstock State Park for a little hike in the woods - with Dylan on piggyback!
I like how you can see Tim's shadow:)
