Happy Halloween, 2012!

Happy Halloween from Captain Hook and Smee!

Sam at 11 Months!

Sam turned 11 months yesterday! He loves playing and is so good at entertaining himself (especially by rolling things and crawling after them).
Here he is enjoying his favorite hobby!

Apple Picking, 2012!

Simon had a wonderful time apple picking today. Unfortunately, Sam was sick so he and Susan stayed home. Mark and Simon visited Terhune Orchards with our friends (and one of Simon's best buds, Leila).

Mark had a great day with the boys today in and around Prospect Park.
There was wildlife,

and a few turns on the carousel!

More boys' days to come!

Delaware Beach Vacation 2012!

We had an excellent time in Delaware this summer!
It was Sam's first time at the beach and he enjoyed playing in and eating the sand. Simon enjoyed digging in the sand with his new shovel. We also enjoyed a nature cruise where we saw some local wildlife. And a car ferry from NJ to Delware and back again helped break up the trip.

Simon Swims

This past weekend, we visited Grandma and Grandpa. Simon took the opportunity to showcase his swimming. After weeks (and weeks) of hanging onto a swimming instructor, Simon let go and swam by himself. And could not be persuaded to get out of the pool :)

Sam at 7 Months!

Sam has certainly been a lot of fun this past month!

Aside from getting another tooth (on the top this time), Sam learned:
How to crawl (here he is crawling yesterday)!

And how to shake his head "no" - I think he enjoys being dizzy

Sam also loves to laugh (especially at his older brother) and loves blowing raspberries (especially on mommy's face). He is one silly little guy and so much fun!
