Happy Halloween

Madeline dressed as a cat for Halloween since they're her favorite things on the planet.

Aunt Connie gave her a Hello Kitty stuffed animal, which she loves!

Grandma gave her a Hello Kitty hat.

Meow!

Not really a great pic, but it gives you a good sense of the full outfit.

Even Grandpa got into the action!!

Mornings are not always easy!

Madeline has a relatively sunny personality. However, lately, she's been waking up very hungry and cranky, until she gets a little food in her.

Start of the morning, and yes, she demanded two "pretties" to be placed in her hair. She refuses to wear them typically.

Starting to perk up. A little bit.

Ahhh, much better.

Yes, Daddy had to wear a pretty as well!

Traveling petting zoo

The play group Madeline and I go to had a petting zoo come to it last week. Madeline enjoyed petting the animals. Nik wasn't too thrilled about cleaning the massive turd (goat? cow? hard to tell) off one of Madeline's shoes, but such is life...

Visit with the Finkes

The Finke family came to visit last weekend from State College, PA and it was a busy and fun-filled weekend.

Erinn and Maddy sharing a cute moment on the rug.

Two VERY unimpressed toddlers at the wine and beer tasting we went to on Saturday. It didn't help that it was really cold and windy. It was an adventure, nonetheless.

They may not be happy about this picture when they're 16, but it's so cute!

Dance party.

Josh and Jack.

Just an ordinary day

Madeline continues to be so fun, cute and playful. These pics are just from an ordinary day, eating a snack and hamming it up for the camera.

Pumpkin Patch

We made our yearly pilgrimage to the pumpkin patch with friends again, and our tribe keeps expanding!






DJ and Madeline getting a bit chummy!


And we thought the pumpkin picture was hard!

Smelling the rosemary

The rosemary is in for the winter and Madeline sort of likes smelling it!





Not so much.

She's a bit of a ham lately

Apple Pickin

It's been a gorgeous early fall here in CT and we took advantage of it a few weekends ago by going apple-picking with the Vigliotti family.

Darron playing with Madeline.

The goat was a hit!

Joey trying to put the mask on Maddy. She's not too sure of this.
