Halloween

Halloween was a balmy evening this year, but still loads of fun.

Poor Thompson was sweating through his tiger suit - but he was Sheerin child #4 to rock the one-year-old tiger.

We also had a cheetah,

 a Dalmatian puppy,

 and a ghost.

 Batgirl Gigi joined us for a costume party the day before, which was fun :)

Cabin in the woods

We were blessed to have another fall weekend at the beloved cabin of our dear friends in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  This was the first getaway for us as a little family of six.  Such a glorious weekend - the photos can do the talking!

Birthday boys

October means party time in our household, as we now have three birthdays within four days of each other.... Mark, Ezra and Thompson!  So we had a fun shindig with just a few family and close friends to celebrate our birthday boys.

Thompson working on a gift, with some help,

but Ezra didn't need any assistance :)

The "star" party decor and photo booth,

chocolate cake,

(I think he liked it!)

wonderful friends,

and snuggles with the littlest birthday boy!

And the boys later, enjoying a new gift...

One year old

Thompson at one year!  Our baby is not so baby anymore.  He is the sweetest, most mellow little guy.  He adores his siblings and is so content to follow them around the house and play along.  And I am loving that he is a snuggler!  We can't wait to see who he will become - but for now are loving his pure sweetness.

And he's three!

Ezra.  Our funny, strong-willed, spirited, twinkle-in-the-eye little boy is three.  Every day is a new adventure with this one.  Oh, we love him so!

Pumpkin time

We love this time of year (who doesn't? :)
