We love bubbles

Max makes a happy bee.



















Zadie in her raincoat and boots - out for an evening stroll on Hawthorne.















Daddy is great at reading us books.

Z is one stylish gal in her mud boots

















Almost everyday Max likes to crawl into a box or basket... he's barely settled inside before he starts moaning for someone to come rescue him.

halloween costumes

mom got us these great halloween costumes and we've worn them to the park and the playground and to a parade and to the market... it isn't even halloween yet. we love wearing these outfits!

the pumpkin patch

Since we're both walking now, we needed shoes...grandma & grandpa bought us our first real shoes, aren't they hip?










We went to a farm to pick pumpkins and visit the animals, we're learning sign language and are getting good at the farm animal signs.

eating sand

the vineyard sand was even more delicious than we had ever imagined

Look! Sharon came to visit and she's teaching the kids to surf :)


















Max decided to use her camera as a percussion instrument ...Sharon - were you able to get it fixed yet?... (be sure send us the bill)
















Z loved standing in the toy bucket...she looks like one tough little cookie, don't mess with her.
