Hallowen - Astoria Style

Hugo, Dash and friends walked in their first Halloween parade this morning...two Captain Americas in their Team America-mobile (great decorating job by Mommy).

happy halloween !!

This morning we did the Astoria Halloween parade... Hugo & I dressed as Capt. America...Dad was Capt. Canada. Mommy wore a shiny tiara and decorated our Capt. America mobile...pictures to follow later.

Pre Halloween bathing...

Hugo took all the tub toys and huddled them near him. And so it begins, the big brother hog.

At the car wash...

Try not pee yourself with laughter...

Mommy & Dash's little adventure

Dash and Mommy went to visit friends and family. Here is Samirah with her little man Carmen. He is two days younger than Dash.


Uncles Steve and Mike. Bears lost, but we had fun in downtown Naperville.

On our last day we visited the Morton Arboretum. It was a real treat to see the leaves start turning.

Fun gym

Jibber Jabber

Entertaining Hugo-babble...with a few good smacks to the face for good measure. (We had a talk about hitting after the video).

Chicago western suburbs. Gorgeous day

Prairie walking at sunset with Dash and Baby Carmen

Time spent in the park

Bear with me, I've been getting the hang of a new camera phone I have for work. Hence the many shots of Hugo at the park.

Hugo has a conversation with Frida and Diego

Missing Mommy and Dash, Hugo has to talk to someone...

Hugo's first major work

Here's Hugo's first venture into abstract expressionism...and his first venture into drawing on our doors and walls.

Our trip to Lake Welch

Fall weather made for a great day to meet up with friends and take the families up to Harriman State Park, about an hour north of NYC. We are thinking about heading back in a couple weeks when the leaves turn.

And Mommy promptly goes out for a sip. It is October after all and there is that delightful beer garden in Astoria.

Saturday morning at the park

Jodi visits while daddy is away. Yay for help!!
We've had a lot of rain this week, which drives Hugo nuts! He's happy for the light breeze, sunshine and park time.

Hugo's new obsession. . .

park drinking fountains! At every city park Hugo is looking for them. He's pretty bummed this one is too tall for him.

Thanks to Bill...good to see my old friend this weekend.
