Trick or Treat

Some pics of Leah & Matt from Halloween. Oh and one of us as a family-with a cameo from Delilah.

Birthday Brunch

Today we went to Four for brunch to celebrate Ruth's birthday.

The place is awesome. If you haven't been there-go! Great food, good drinks-lots of fun. Leah could have done without the weird bald guy on stilts but other than it was really nice.

Mom & Dad Party

Our family friend Amanda and her fiance Dave had their engagement party the weekend before Halloween. It was a costume theme/halloween theme and everyone dressed up, danced and had a great time.

It also marked the first night EVER that Leah spent the night away from Matt and me. I was sad. Really sad. Yes I know I go out after 11 and come home at 4am so I don't always spend the night with her but she is always with Matt if not with me, if not both of us. It was her first sleepover.

Ruth made it extra special by getting Leah her very own Elmo pjs and her very own Disney Princesses sheet set for Matt's old bed. Lindsay came over and they had an awesome night. It was a great night had by all. And Leah couldn't have been in better hands.

Here are pics of Matt and me, and some friends from the night. Matt is dancing!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

:) Today is Ruth's birthday. Unfortunately we were unable to wish her a happy birthday in person but we are all going out to a brunch at Four on Sunday :) And Leah is having her first official sleepover on Saturday.

Pretty exciting stuff right there

Our lil fairy

Leah loves to play dressup and I've been collecting some fantastic dress up costumes.

This one may be her Halloween costume or it may not be but she will get many hours of play out of it.







I know I am biased being she is my daughter and all but how could anyone believe this girl is not beautiful!!!!

Apples & Ketchup

Looking for a healthy alternative to hamburgers and fries at McDonalds?

Try Leah's combo of apple slices and ketchup!




I know what you are thinking "Well just cause she did it once doesn't mean she'd do it again..."

Well you are wrong. Cause she ate all six apple slices this way. I shouldn't talk, I put salt on mine...

I'm a hat girl

Oh a rasta girl, I have't quite figured it out yet but Leah loves this hat that her Nana Bernice made for her. She will never wear it in the cold but around the house-no problem.

More fairs

Later during the evening I talked Matt into driving over to Huntington for their street fair, well fair in the park.



We ate some yummy fair food. Arepas with cheese :) Leah ate nearly all of her arepa.

Street Fairs

I love street fairs, Matt cannot stand them. But every fall and spring he gets dragged to them.

I had a good time at the Farmingdale Street Fair. And I got some nice things for Leah's room. We went with Ruth and George. I enjoy these types of things with Matt's parents, especially his mom cause she seems to enjoy it as much as I do.

Some pics of course.



We found Leahland.

Off to the pumpkin patch

Today Kitti, Guy , Delilah, Leah and me all went to Schmitts Farm to pick pumpkins. It was a gorgeous fall day. The sky blue and the clouds wonderfully white. The girls had a great time running and climbing throughout the playground. Then it was off to pick pumpkins.

We all had a wonderful time. I love being able to share days and memories like today with Kitti, Guy and Delilah. I love that Leah is able to have Delilah in her life.
