Fall Review

Needless to say the fall flew by and we've not posted regularly. So here is a quick recap in photos (and you'll notice Emmie is walking by this point - that happened at some point in October and like with all second children everywhere I can't remember the exact moment it happened!). Ian was a goblin of his own creation for Halloween and it was a bit spooky. We went trick or treating downtown the weekend before Halloween and then had a big storm where most of the town lost power again and the Welanders came over again for spooky dinner and trick or treating on Halloween night. Emily loves dressing up and loves her tutus and frilly dresses. Ian is awesome - after a week long stay at Westchester Medical Center over Thanksgiving we had our own Thanks-Germain with our neighbors and friends the week after. The kids liked dancing in the empty kitchen because we used the table in the dining room for more seating. My Karate man will test for his next stripe after the New Year. And he loves playing with his sister (though she can be rough with him). Emmie has lots of words (hat, nose, EEE (Ian), woof, mooo, cluck, head, hair, teeth...) We had a very nice Christmas and look forward to next year.
