Happy Birthday Ishmael! We had a party in the backyard for him and it was perfect. He felt really special and proud that so many people loved him.

The cake was amazing. The woman next to me baked it. Inside were more worms and little candies to be rocks in the dirt.


In October, we also had a visit from Papi. Here’s a nice picture taken from the tractor pulling this cart down to the river. I love this picture of Peaches.

Here’s a heartfelt familial moment for you.

And some more heartfelt familial moments caught in a video….

October was full of parties. Below are some videos of the apple party at the Koubecks.
Everyone except one in the video below is yelling “FASTER”. Can you spot the poor one yelling “slower”?
Sometimes at a party it’s every man for himself…..
HALLOWEEN!!!

That’s my 21st century angel….


What do Maine kids do in November? I guess anything they feel like doing….

You don’t need to tell Hugo how totally awesome and talented he is. Hugo totally knows.

Below is a little video of us going apple picking together. Please notice how many apples we’ve collected in our cart. And this is us on the way out.

I hope that your Halloween was delicious and happily spooky!
