October 2014



Checking out a new park.

Nathan wanted Trent to get in his "boat" with him.

Keeping dry in the rain.



Best friends in Monkey Music class.


Happy birthday, Daddy.


Every morning, Nathan climbs into bed with Trent and the two of them play together.

He found something he wanted.



And, he got it :)

We went to the London Fire Brigade Museum over half-term break.





Pushing his brother around.




He started walking with his walker just a few days after he turned 9 months old!



Halloween 2014

Halloween seems to get more and more fun every year!  Nathan was so excited about it this year and he absolutely loved trick-or-treating!  Plus, it was really nice that it was on a Friday this year, so the dads could leave work a bit early and go out trick-or-treating with us.

Trent and his girlfriend, Dylan, at our Monkey Music class.

Our little T-Rex loves music class.


Carving pumpkins with his best friends.  

The finished products.

Three years of carving pumpkins together.

Our jack-o-lantern.  I was quite impressed with myself this year :)

Ready to trick-or-treat.





Stonehenge/Cornwall - October 2014

For Nathan's half-term break, we decided to get out of the city and finally see some more of England.  A co-worker of Chris' recently retired and now runs a cute little farm in Cornwall.  They have six cottages that they rent out and some farm animals that guests are welcome to help feed.  We thought the boys would love it, so we rented a car and drove the 4 hours to Cornwall, stopping to see Stonehenge on the way.  It turned out to be a great holiday (maybe one of my favorite trips so far).  And, I was very impressed with Chris' driving skills.  This was the first time he has driven in England and he quickly adjusted to driving on the right-hand side of the car and the left-hand side of the road.  He even did really well with the narrow country roads (well, except the time we got stuck in the mud and had to have a nice farmer help us get out).

Chris and his co-pilot :)

This was right before we got stuck in the mud :)

This is a 2-way country road!


























Hot chocolate after a chilly day on the beach.

Nathan's first pony ride.





Feeding the pigs. 
And, the chickens.
He liked feeding the goats the best though.
