Pumpkin festival

We also went with our good friends Keith, Diane, Ella, and Sophie to a pumpkin festival. Here are some pictures of us - and a picture of Diane and Sophie getting Sophie's face painted!

Pumpkin Carving

A family resemblance between us and our pumpkins?

DAVE . . . NOAH . . . ME

Of course - they're not the coolest pumpkins I've ever seen - This is the coolest pumpkin I've ever seen!

Pumpkin choosing

We went out to a farm near us to choose our pumpkins . . . While Dave and I chose ours based on size and shape, Noah was more concerned with the "sitability" of his pumpkin!

The spoon - mastered. Bring on the chopsticks!

Rebecca and Phyllis

Aunt Phyllis came to visit Dave's cousin Rebecca, who is a student here . . . we had lunch with them and they met Noah for the first time! Rebecca was so enamored with Noah she begged us to let her baby sit (and believe me, we will take her up on it sometime!)

Dr. Spock (and other horrors)

Dr. Spock no longer rules - you are no longer supposed to let babies sleep on their stomachs (or play with sharp knives . . . ) Watch this "re-enactment" of our discussion the morning my parents were due to take Noah for their first full day . . . :)

First Day of School

In September Noah started to go to daycare, then in October he started going for full days, three days a week. (Then later in October, he promptly caught a cold . . . well, what can you do?) Here is a picture of Dave and Noah on his first day. Note that Noah is asleep in this picture - he's not adapting easily to this 7:30 in the morning thing - he is a night owl!
