Halloween

Phoebe sometimes refuses to put pants back on after diaper changes, and was very excited about wearing her (self-proclaimed) "backpack" (wings). Then, she put on her (er, Erin's) rain boots, yes all by herself, and change-o presto, you have:

And her Daddy is so in love with her. Whether she's wearing pants or not.



We went to a party, and Spiderman was there.

We went trick-or-treating. The wagon was a big hit. Phoebe didn't care about going up to the houses as much as getting in and out of the wagon.



And then the party got a little silly. And Dad became the pony-in-residence. Spiderman and the Peacock's Mom stood by to safety-spot, and photographers went wild.

Mom's-eye view of, "Mama, hug!"

Mom's-eye view of when, "Mama, hug!" is delayed by Mom's insatiable desire for more pictures.
Someone has figured out "running". Wheee!

But, really now, who needs to run when you can ride Paw-paw's tractor? Let's hope she doesn't figure out how to get it started.

Oh, well.

"The lip".

Kowabunga, dude!

Questionable parenting you say? Naaw...what you can't see is the eighteen thousand adults standing-by, at the ready.

I'm the king of the world! er...princess?

This summer...

...we rode in the car,

perfected the 'pre-two' whine,

wore many hats,
got some cool new wheels,
and started to smile on command. Matt said, "Phoebe, gimme a smile!" And she gladly obliged. I think you can see all 14 of her teeth! Life IS good.

New Pictures

Invitation outtakes

New Adorableness

Did you know each box of Pampers comes with a toy?
From the depths of lake pack 'n play, the loc pack monster emerges...
If I have to read The Very Hungry Caterpillar one more time, I might go bananas....Luckily, Auntie- er Cousin- Leonore is visiting and steps up to the challenge!
Success!

Winter Wonderland

First things first. American cheese is simply the best invention...EVER. Paw Paw (Phoebe's grandfather) can testify to that- He's been known to attend international Velveeta conventions. Anyone can enjoy a snowy day... even a vixen like the Pheebs...
Sleigh ride! Great family fun.


We love where we live.
