Pumpkin Picking

On Sunday, we went to a pumpkin patch and petting zoo in Sharon, MA.  Sam loved going on the hayride, watching the tractor, meeting the animals, and picking out a prize pumpkin.

New House - Now with Furniture

Although it's a lot of work, and we don't have much time, the new house is slowly taking shape.  Here are some rooms that look decent and box-free enough to post.

NJ Visit

We went to NJ for my friend Adriane's wedding, and to finally collect our dozens of boxes and pieces of baby equipment from my parents' basement, where they'd been stored for years (many since our wedding).  Yesterday, Sam and I went to the Cresskill playground with Grandma.

Climbing up slides is more fun than sliding down them.

The fire truck says Woowoo woowoo

When Sam saw me take out the camera, he stood here and waited until I took his picture before continuing his playing.  What a ham.

Slam Dunk

Sam plays with his new basketball set in our basement.  He's slightly more successful at this than he was at tee ball.

New House

We moved!  (Which may explain why I haven't posted in a month and why I'm posting 10 entries now to make up for it.)  We bought a house in Needham, MA, a suburb of Boston.  Here are some photos of Sam (and us) exploring the new house the day before we moved in.

Last Visit to Playground in Arlington

On a beautiful early fall day, we head out to the playground in Arlington near our temporary apartment for one last time before the big move.

It's way more fun to climb up the slide than to go down, especially when Mommy's waiting to grab you at the bottom.

Sam laughs hysterically at Mommy's attempts to do the playground zipline.

Sam loves the roller slide.

He ran back and forth across this bridge a few dozen times.
