A look back at September

Boy, September just got away from me...here are a few highlights from the end of the month.

Now Teddy and Monty have something in common. They both love to play with the toilet paper in the bathroom. I'm totally going to show this one at his wedding!



Teddy took his girlfriend, Audrey, to the Big E. They shared a baked potato and fried dough...oh, Audrey's Mom, Devon, came too. Devon and I were total third wheels but the kids had a great time.



Surprisingly, Johnny Appleseed is from Longmeadow so Teddy and I went to the Johnny Appleseed festival at the library. Teddy is playing with poof balls which I'm sure is something that Mr. Appleseed never did but he had fun anyway.

October 2009

Shana's travel season is upon us which means far less time to update the Baby Blog. Here are some highlights from October (can you believe it's October 12th already!).

We traveled up to Manchester, Vermont to visit with Michael's Grandfather, Edward Bates, and his wife, Betty. We stopped at a kitchy little farm stand to take a few pictures.



Here is Betty, Ed, and Teddy hanging out at the club after lunch.



On Satruday, we drove up Mount Holyoke (it's not just a college) to the old inn at the top. It was very windy but we had a great view of the changing fall leaves.



Then we went to McCray's Farm to look at the animals. Teddy loved everything and did his best "quack" for all of the animals...even the goats!



Daddy and baby got to ride the tractor, although it was a little rusty!
