Sorry Dad, time to jump off the bandwagon

What a beautiful weekend we had! Thanks to the nice weather, we got to do lots (and lots) of leaf raking and mowing and strolling around the neighborhood with Will. Charlie and Lyssa (& Clicquot) Cole spent Sunday afternoon with us and brought homemade mac n' cheese with them, which was yummy (thanks, Lyss!)
This will be our first year as a family where trick-or-treaters will (hopefully) come to our door. We got the candy ready and Olive's got her bark finely tuned for a night of fun door-answering. We'll be sure to get Will in his costume this week and post some pics.
Oh, and sorry about those Rockies, Mom & Dad (they jumped on the bandwagon last year when living in Denver).

All-American Weekend

This weekend was filled with some of America's favorite pastimes: football (flag football game in the fields of Monroe, Huskies, Seahawks), baseball playoffs, and ice cream at our local DQ (see below for highlights).

Hunting for Pugs

Will LOVES Olive. I'm not so sure the feeling is mutual, but Olive is a good sport. Here's a video of Will chasing after Olive on all fours. Look out, little pug, he'll only get faster.

Evey & Will

Up until recently, when I got together with other moms and their babies, our time mostly consisted of us moms talking while babies played wherever we placed them. My have times changed! Will and his cousin, Evey are both crawling and beginning to figure out that they can interact with each other. Here's a video of them "interacting" (aka Evey fighting off Will) and another one of Evan shakin' what her mama (and daddy) gave her. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Gretchen

Even though you're a continent away without telephone access, we wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. We love you!

p.s. Olive says Happy Birthday too, she is also a b-day girl, turning #2 today.
