Fall Colors

Monday, October 26, 2009

Ike has been enjoying the leaf clean-up and leaf jumping is the top activity after school these days. Here are a few shots of Ike's fun in the foliage. Fall is here, Halloween around the corner and Mr. Winter has knocked at the door a few days already.

he knows how to turn the leaf blower on and loves to drag it around- if only he actually blew the leaves in the right places

leaf blowing happiness :-)

the Bean & Beamer get in on the leaf fun too

we raked a path around the front yard with the end

at the big pile and made it a game- he loved it!

Picnic at Hamburg Cove

A few weekends ago, we headed to Hamburg Cove on the CT River for lunch on the Shelter with Kyle and Bing. It was the start of the crisp fall area and the leaves. Ike had a great time and of course the meltdown of the day was when he wanted to swim! He luckily had on long underwear/pj pants so we were able to let him layer down and splash in the water for a final kick of the season.

ike even convinced Kyle to dip her toes

splish splash

Boppy was trying to convince Ike the water was cold but he didn't care...

the new 'red-black boat' (or some would say drug boat style!)

(replacing the red boat which mysteriously disappeared over labor day weekend- family tragedy)

Ike loves it of course though there will always be a special place in our hearts for red boat.

cheese :-)

Ike's ABCs

Monday, October 19, 2009

First let me pardon the blog hiatus- things have been busy at our house this Fall and my photography business has kept me away from personal photos but I am back! I took this video the other night during storytime and had to share. Ike has been singing his ABC's for a while now but I am trying to do more video as he is just too cute for still photos!

"Now my know my ABCs next time won't you sing with me!"
