Halloween !!!

October 31st has come and gone... probably one of the biggest days of the year in the Beaches. We were bi-polar in our priorities, first it was Russell's first Halloween, but also, our first Halloween in the new house. We had no idea how many kids we'd get, how much candy to buy, or if we were going to take Russell door to door.

We got a few kids before 7pm but Woodbine was pretty quiet so we decided to take Russell to visit some of our friends in the neighborhood. As soon as we walked through the alley, and out on to Boardwalk Ave, the street was packed with kids and parents alike. There was a big display (at least 3 houses worth) on Boardwalk that looked pretty cool.


We made our way over to my friend Dave's place on Sarah Ashbridge. He was perched on his porch with a glass of vino in hand dolling out the sweets with the other. Looked like a pretty nice gig and gave daddy ideas for next year.

Next stop was Julie's friend Angela on Winner's Circle. Carys was actually taking her pre-sleep snack so it was a quick visit.

Russell was again, very popular with the ladies in his pumpkin outfit and received lots of attention. Funny it seemed like we took a lot of pictures at the time, but there seems like less to choose from than usual. Anyways, here's how we'll remember our pumpkin from Halloween 2007.

6 Months !!!

Well, as far behind as I've become, I can't miss Russell's 6th month birthday.

Russell recently has begun to start his day with Rice cereal. They call it 'solid' food but its really more runny then the breast milk he's used to. He's also gotten pretty good with maneuvering his own bottle. Today, Julianne changed his diaper while he held and drank his own bottle. I don't know if this is a good habit to get into because those dudes that take a drink into the men's room with them really creep me out.


Russell also tried out his new 'muff' for his stroller. All ready to be cozy warm when Mommy or Daddy is freezing in the months to come.



Russell even had a party to attend... sadly, it wasn't for him. His cousin Alexi had his 2nd birthday party on Sunday, and wasn't above sharing his balloons.



Lastly, Russell is now getting his first tooth! Mommy is frantically looking for some all natural, organic dental floss.


Happy 6 Months Russell !!

wow... fell way behind again...

he're a token photo to keep us up to date.


Today we took advantage of the unseasonably summery day. Met one of Russell's Mommy Fitness friends, Samantha. Samantha is a natural blond with blue eyes. I guess the boy has good taste. We also met Samantha's parents, Erin and Andy.
