October snaps

this photo made me realize how much of a little boy oliver is now.
he's so grown up.

not sure where he saw this, but it makes me smile to see oliver using his
ukelele like a violin sometimes.
whatever works, right?

HALLOWEEN

We were invited to spend Halloween with Chad, Elizabeth and Olivia Korach in Long Island. Oliver had a wonderful time following Olivia around, and I believe the affection was mutual.

We went trick or treating with their neighbors - a new experience in daylight hours - but it was a lot of fun.

Grandparents visit

The Rivers came up to Brooklyn and stayed with us in September.
We had a great time, touring all over Brooklyn and Manhattan, taking in tacos and chocolate in Williamsburg, Vietnamese sandwiches in Chinatown, the Brooklyn Flea, the Dumbo Arts Festival, the High Line and more. They even stayed with Oliver on our 6th anniversary, allowing us an escape into the city for the entire night. What more can you want? It was so nice having them there and hard to say goodbye.
