Boys Being Cute in the Fall

Here's some family reading:






Here's where we lost the camera in the leaves:









Here's Thomas dancing. The bent arm raise is his signature move. I'll post the video later-- it's taking forever to upload ---

Halloween!

Here's our darling volcano:


Wait-- it's going to blow!!







And here's some scenes from the school Halloween parade, where Thomas opted for a different look:



At one point Thomas got out in front of the crowd and did his own thing:




And here are the boys being super cute. More to come of that!

Camera and Vaccine

We left our camera under a pile of leaves for several days-- but the pictures survived!! Will post them as soon as we figure out how without a camera.

Loss of the camera prevented us from capturing the truly strange, kind of wonderful and kind of horrible experience we had last night of all waiting in line for 4 hours at the local high school to get h1n1 vaccine shots. There was a wonderful community spirit outside-- kids playing, friendly volunteers, people getting hot chocolate for eachother, that kind of became awful once you got inside and it was hot and the lines were still long and the vaccine supply started to run out. They had 1000 doses and we were numbers 643-45. (Clare got a dose along with the boys, but Dave and I are not at-risk.) Our baby friend Anna Del Guercio got dose number 999. We all got home at 8:30, and Clare got a chance to drive on the right side of the road!


It looked something like this, except not really.

Airport and Emmett crawls (sort of)!

At last, from the vault, the highly anticipated Albany airport shots.






We were really glad to see Grandpa Peter too.


And here is Emmet learning to crawl! This was a week ago and already he's much better.





and here are Clare and Emmett, who are both so cute.




There are a lot of sniffles around the house, but no swine flu . . . yet.
