Halloween

I am so sad to say we only have one picture of Clara's Halloween costume.  Plenty of video, but only one picture.  This is it.  The only word she could say at the time, other than 'Mom' and 'Dad', was 'Nanna' her favorite food.  Hence, the Banana costume.  The highlight of her night?  Standing at the door, handing out candy to the neighborhood kids with Dad. 

(we need a new camera!)

Thursday Crowd

We love 'The Office'  (who doesn't?) and for the better part of 2 years, we spent most Thursday nights with our friends Jonathan and Sarah, and James and Minhui.  Even though we eventually moved 30 minutes away from eachother, we still managed to meet up for dinner and our favorite Thursday night TV.  Sad to say that Jonathan, Sarah and Little Laura moved to California, and James and Min are on a trip around the world for the next 8 months- well deserved to a recent PhD (way to go Min!!) 

WE MISS OUR THURSDAY NIGHTS!! 

But wish the best to our good friends.

APPLESAUCE!!

In October, Jonathan and Sarah visited from California to make applesauce.  THE BEST applesauce ever!  We made a huge mess, and had lots of fun!  James and Min came over, and so did Aubrey, Paul, Ava and Max!  I wish you could see the clock in these pictures.  It says 12:16 (am!)

Lunch date!  Spontaneity is the mother of all invention!  Who knew that sandwich shops don't have utensils?  I actually like the idea of eating applesauce with a straw- a lot less messy and much quicker!
