Blizzard!

It's October 29 and we are in the midst of our first major snowstorm this year. Admittedly, it's a great excuse to hang with Spencer and catch up on a few things around the house (such as downloading pictures!). We had almost two feet of snow (my very unscientific analysis by looking outside) and I hear we should get another seven or so inches today. Yikes. Hopefully Grandpa Lewie and Grandma Linda will get here soon - they are planning to fly in today.

The above pic gives a little preview to Spence's halloween costume (a dinosaur). Yesterday morning he wanted to wear the dinosaur hat - he even wore it in the car and into his classroom. What a fun way to start the day - turning around in the car to see my adorable little dinosaur.

Family hike

I took these pictures on a hike a couple of weekends ago. Spencer loves hanging in this backpack. He especially liked getting out of the backpack and running around in the water!

Spencer's birthday party

Pin the nose on Elmo -

thanks to my mom for sending Elmo party games and decorations!

Spencer's first pinata - made a little less exciting when I realized that store bought pinatas

do not come filled with candy. Sorry, kids.

Happy 2nd birthday, Spencer and Kaia

Spencer shared his second birthday party with his good friend and neighbor Kaia who he met when he was about a week old. It was fun to watch all the kiddos run around together. Spencer seems to still enjoy walking around with several random objects and he has a particular affinity toward Kaia's bouncy ball.
