Studio portraits gone horribly wrong

Ok, they weren't that bad for a 10 minute session that was running 30 minutes late.

You'll notice that Alice has the perpetual dazed and confused look on her face. Trust me, I was jumping up and down and shaking some bells trying to get a laugh or smile. She wasn't about to give anything up.


Ewwww...boy cooties!


Ack!!!!

Get this monkey off my back.

Wha?


Freaky fake Santa hands


You're not fooling me with those fake hands, lady.


Seriously, an empty box?




Finally one of her smiling.

Lounging on the couch. Still not sure what's going on.


We're getting there.


And the winning picture...

I actually like Lu's face better in the one above....hmmm, maybe some photoshopping is in order.

Visitors all the way from Texas and Halloween

Um, so how is it half way through November already!

The Wednesday before Halloween, our good friends Kyle and Erin and 7 month old baby CamySue came for a visit. It was so great to see them.

The two girls had tons to catch up on.






CamySue is actually 3 weeks younger than Alice but is much bigger and on.the.move.

We all attended Lucius' Halloween parade on at daycare.

Look! It's Sportacus! For those of you not familiar with LazyTown click here.


And Stephanie!





We hung out at the Rowan Punkin Chunkin


Lucius and Tom carved two pumpkins.


We spent Halloween Day in Philly...liberty bell and cheesesteaks (one from Pat's and one from Geno's/ wiz wit)


Lucius loved them. He actually ate more than I did. I keep forgetting that he's old enough to get him his own meal instead of sharing ours.


Then back home for some trick or treating...







and the annual Angelone Halloween Party. Costumes are mandatory.

Erin, Kyle and Camy





Big Sportacus and Big Stephanie


I should mention that Lucius still wears his sportacus costume. Every day. As soon as he wakes up he gets on his spiderman costume and then puts sportacus over it. He's spiderman sportacus.

7 months

My little Alice is 7 months today. Still no teeth and no moving (at all) but still the cutest thing ever. She can finally feed herself puffs (she's very proud of that fact) and loves to grab fistfuls of hair. She's a pretty laid back baby...could sit for hours and play her piano.

Alice is my little baby doll. l love dressing her up.





Brotherly love.
