Playing it Safe

Wearing our orange in the Maine woods during hunting season!

Breakfast Date with "The Maine Elizabeth"

Thanksgiving

Aiden finally held Baby Liam!  I guess maybe he's a little less intimidating now that he's 9 months old, but he's definitely much more "on the move" these days.  I was sort of terrified that he was going to leap out of Aiden's arms!  Happy to report that no injuries were sustained.  Whew!

Yum!  Grammy's butternut squash soup.  

A little post-dinner quite time with Johanna.  

Tech savvy cousins all wanting a piece of the iPad action.

Finger Lickin' Good!

Aiden SAVORS his first chicken wing ever!

Daddy's Alumni Swim Meet

Field trip into Cambridge this morning for Daddy's Alumni Swim Meet!  (Daddy's lap was over in a flash, but I'm pretty sure his relay team got hosed by the current students....)

The best part of the swim meet was the family swim that followed.

Future member of the Harvard Swim Team?

6 months ago he wouldn't have wanted to get his head wet, never mind jump off the diving board!  Proud mamma!  :-)

Daddy & Bree pose in front of the John Harvard statue.  (Aiden can be partially seen sulking on the left ….)

This was more up his alley than posing for a silly picture!

Quick rest and photo opp on the bridge before we head back home.  

Show Me Those Pearly Whites

Bree's first dentist appointment.  (But don't tell her….She thinks she's been going for years because the hygienist always let her sit in the chair during Aiden's appointments!)

Class of 2026 and 2027

A Face Only A Mother Could Love

Trick-or-Treat

Better late than never!  Trick-or-Treat in the Maclean's neighborhood has become an annual tradition.  All the little monkeys and monsters are ready to hit the pavement!

Acting crazy before any candy is even consumed!  Oh boy….

Caught red handed with her hand in the……grapes?!  Okay, grapes are good.  But what's that in your other hand, Bree?

Sweaty boy checks out his loot.  Guess I didn't have to bundle him quite as heavily as I did, as he and Adam apparently sprinted  through the neighborhood this year.

Frolicking in the Fall Leaves

WPS Halloween Party - Bree's Turn

For the past two years, Bree's been coming to these Halloween Parades at WPS to watch her big brother.  Today was her turn in the spotlight!  

Note her teachers costumes:  The Scarecrow, the Tin Man (poor Bree was terrified of Mrs. Martinec when she arrived at school today!!), and the Cowardly Lion.  They looked FANTASTIC!!
