Cutest Pumpkins in the Patch!



I am a little delayed in posting this, but I wanted to share some photos of our Halloween fun this year.  Mia decided to dress as a pumpkin, so we had two adorable pumpkins at our house for Stella's first Halloween! We had a great time at the Choate Park Pumpkin Walk, Roger Williams Zoo Spooky Zoo and, of course, trick-or-treating!

Fun in North Conway (and our first trip to Story Land!)


Though we have been to North Conway many times during the wintertime, the trip we took this month was extra-special because it was the first time we were there for fall fun!  The weather was perfect and the foliage was beautiful.  We stayed at a house near downtown at Cathedral Ledge, which is a popular location for hiking and rock climbing near Echo Lake.  The house was also perfect because there was room for Poppy and Grammy to join us as well!  The scenery was gorgeous, and we all enjoyed some family walks and hiking. Of course, we had to include our first visit to Story Land in our agenda for our visit - we spent two days there, and we had such a fun time!  Mia loved going on the rides (her favorite was the Polar Coaster), having her face painted and she had a magical time having tea with Cinderella!  We also enjoyed visiting the Toy Chest, Zeb's General Store, the Weather Museum, finding the "Pumpkin People" around town, and discovering a few new restaurants - it was the perfect way to celebrate family during the fall season!

Baby Shower for Auntie Tanya!


We are all very excited that Mia and Stella will have a baby cousin arriving in January - perhaps another New Year's baby??? In anticipation of the baby's arrival, we hosted a shower for Tanya at our home today (thank you to our families for all of your help!)  The shower had a vintage theme in shades of white and ivory to coordinate with the baby's nursery decor and antique pram, which was such a fun theme to put together.  It was wonderful to celebrate with the parents-to-be and all of our families!  Congratulations to Tanya and Chris - we are all looking forward to meeting Baby Chambers!!!
