Halloween Party

AnaSofia celebrated Halloween a little early this year with some friends from her playgroup. I am hopeful organizing this group is worth it, I really want to find some Mom friends for the winter! It was 75 degrees for the party and we had a lot of fun playing in the yard. We had a leaf pile, the ever popular sand pit and sugary foods (yes, I let her have a little!). We even forced our kids into their fleece costumes (what else would a Mom in Maine choose?!) even though it was really REALLY hot. AnaSofia was roaring like a lion and trying to take the fake banana out of Islwyn's monkey costume. It was a riot! Hopefully I can wrestle her into her outfit next Wednesday and take a trip downtown to a "famous" street where all the residents deck their houses out for Halloween and have a block party in the evening. Should be fun!

Fall in Maine

It has been a fantastic year in Maine. The Summer was beautiful and Fall is even better. It is Aunt Heather's birthday already and still 65 degrees. AnaSofia was playing in the leaves today and we were bbqing with friends yesterday. AnaSofia is quite the talker now, over 25 words and picking up a new one everyday. Right now it is "apple pie (aeble tie)" a Danish/English mix I think. It is amazing how she understands both Danish and English and has a vocabulary for each. She is surpassing her Mama in linguistics at this point. This seems to be the month of babies for our friends. So wonderful. Three friends have had a boys this past month and RANDOMLY they all named them "Liam"! That is really weird! So great for AnaSofia to have some kids to boss around! Hee hee! Here are some photos from this month, Elizabeth came and brought a beautiful jumper that will be PERFECT for this winter!

It's Been Awhile...

I'm back! As most of you know (actually, who IS reading this? I am confident Sarah with her faithful commenting is keeping up AND everyone does seem updated on my life when we talk... Hm... Just not a lot of comments). Hee hee. Anyways, as most of you know, we had a family emergency this September that took AnaSofia and I to NY for 3 weeks. It was both stressful and joyful and I am so thankful for everyone's wishes and calls. The outcome was the best we could have hoped for and I feel so blessed for that. Now we are back in Maine and ready to enjoy the beautiful Fall weather (80s this week?!). I have been busy uploading photos and have two new albums up of AnaSofia's 1st birthday (FINALLY!) and our trip to Mexico. I also added a bunch of photos to our friends and family albums to reflect recent visits. Our friends Artie and Katie came to Maine this summer and we went to Pittsburgh early this month to see the lady love of my life and her husband. AnaSofia was the entertainer as usual, note the photos of her DANCING on Jess and Anthony's dining table! Moose the Dog was quite tolerant of her love for him and allowed her to hang from his jowls or play with his toys. The family photos include our trip to the Muscato Farm. Notice how gorgeous my Mom looks, yes, she looked this good after the surgery too! Thanks again for all your love and support! Feels good to be home and back online again! Here are a few hilarious shots of AnaSofia and Penny. Penny knew someday it would pay off to be nice to the new addition. Looks like it is time to babyproof the house!
