Halloweenies!!

I made sugar cookies shaped like fall leaves, and let the kids decorate them. Liam chose to decorate his face instead.
Charlotte took the task a little more seriously, she put about a pound of sprinkles on each cookie. They looked fabulous. Pink is the new fall color.

Here they are, frosting away.

We took the kids out on a particularly nice day and tried to get a few good pictures. This one was too cute!

Here they are, at Chester Bowl, posing together.

This one was my (Laura) favorite. I love the way Charlotte's hand is resting on Liam, and the sun setting in the background.

Charlotte was a princess in purple.

Liam, so excited to be at the church Halloween party!

For Halloween night I took Charlotte out trick or treating, and yes, she did say it to everyone that would listen. Liam stayed behind and helped Brian pass out candy.

The Pumpkin Patch

While visiting my (Laura's) parent's in Wisconsin We went to a pumpkin patch!
Charlotte and Liam each picked out a new pumpkin. Here is Charlotte with hers.

Posing amongst the pumpkins.

Liam, taking a breather.

The pumpkin patch had a petting zoo and the kids loved it. Especially liam, who tried to climb the fence for better access. Charlotte kept looking around for 'massars' (monsters), her new obsession.

Our Move Up North

We finally did it!!! We moved to Duluth!

We're really excited to be closer to family! Above is Charlotte feeding Liam at the Stensgard's.

For those of you who don't know, Brian accepted a job with NewPage, in Duluth.

We're loving it here. We've taken the kids to the Duluth Aquarium several times (they love it) and we're enjoying the cooler weather. The other day I took the kids on a walk in the stroller and it started snowing. At first Charlotte was a little scared, but she's adjusted and she loves watching it fall from the safety of the great indoors.
