Christmas

Christmas was great this year. Ethan got some cool stuff from Santa, Seth got some new boots from Renee and Ethan, and Renee received a book that was a compilation of all of her "eco-talk" newspaper articles (which she writes weekly for the local newspaper). Kayla had a great big peanut butter treat for christmas but she got sick later in the day because she ate too much cat food at grandma and grandpa's house! All in all we had a fantastic Christmas and look forward to a new year!

Ethan decided he did not want anymore of his lunch today so he rejected it in a cute kinda way!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving day we visited Seth's parents in Candor. The whole family was together for the holiday which brought great fun and lots of laughter. On Friday the women hit the mall for black Friday deals while the men babysat. When we returned Seth, Ethan, Kayla and I smiled for Christmas pictures. I am not going to post them because you will be receiving them in the mail shortly! But here is a sneak peek- Ethan is showing off his big bottom chompers for the camera! He got his top two teeth today! Just in time for Christmas!

Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year! We carved pumpkins, dressed up and exploited Ethan to get free candy!

Family Trip to New Hampshire

We took a short trip up north to Main, New Hampshire and Vermont to visit family and friends. Ethan did great for his very first long trip! We arrived in NH Friday night. On Sat. Seth helped his friend Ken remodel his basement. On Sunday, we met Seth's brother for lunch and then headed to Kittery Main to shop at the outlets. On Monday, we took a scenic drive through Vermont and stopped to see Seth's Cousin Tim and their new baby boy!

Camping at Letchworth State Park

This weekend we borrowed my parents camper and went on our first camping trip of the year! We had cold nights but beautiful days. All in all it was a great weekend and a beautiful place to camp. As you can see we went hiking along the falls and what camping trip is complete without smoked meat!

Ethan's First Solid Food!

Ethan had his first solid food on 9/12/09. He loved the rice cereal! In fact he ate the entire bowl. Take a look at the picture of Dad and Ethan after the meal-Ethan is sooo happy!
