This is Olivia, Reese, and Elijah at Great-Grandma Harris's house for Thanksgiving. There was quite a crowd there once again this year. It's so nice to have a big family. All the kids had so much fun playing together. I love this picture so much! I actually got all three kids to smile at the same time. It is a feat in itself to get Reese to smile for any pictures let alone three kids at once. Yeah!
We had a fun family day at the Cider Mill in Glastonbury, CT. The girls loved feeding all the animals, especially the goats who kept trying to lick them. Reese had a hard time leaving the animals but when we got to the pumpkins she wanted to try to take them all home. Olivia tried to find the biggest pumpkin she could find. So we got a big one and a few smaller ones that the girls could carry. We finished off our visit with an apple cider homemade donut which was very YUMMY!

This is Brightwater Cottage. We stayed at this quaint cozy cottage for a week and absolutely loved it. It was so peaceful and quiet in St. Martins, NB but there were so many things for us to do and keep busy. The view was pretty awesome too. We stayed on a miniature horse farm and woke up every morning to horses out grazing right outside of our cottage. Olivia got to ride horses everyday so she was in her glory and Reese couldn't get enough of them either. Every time Reese saw a horse she would say "Sorsie, Sorsie (horsie)" about twenty times in one sentence. From exploring beaches and sea caves to riding horses and walking the Fundy Trail (that was a work out!) to seeing the Hopewell Rocks and the fantastic scenery, we didn't want to leave. I feel like I'm giving a commercial but I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and have a good time.

On June 9th, 2007 we went up to New Hampshire for my brother, Roger's, wedding. The night before we stayed at a 19th century reunion house right across the border in Vermont. We had a great time with our family and a wonderful time getting to know Maria's family. Olivia and Reese had fun entertaining everyone. I tried to show Olivia the fireflies that came out that night but it was so pitch black outside that she didn't want to stick around and see any of them glowing. I guess we're too used to the city lights were we live. There was a cute little wooden playhouse outside that Olivia and Reese got to play in, in the morning. Roger and Maria's wedding was so beautiful and peaceful. You could just tell how much they loved eachother and how happy they were. It was a great day!
Cute as a "bug in a rug". Here's Reese and her best buddy Sierra. They're only a week apart in age and love to steal toys from eachother. I watch Sierra everyday so it's nice for Reese to have a friend/cousin (3rd to be exact) to play with everyday. They're getting older and starting to play (and fight) with eachother more and more. It's fun to see them reach each mile stone and discover new things. I watch my nephew Elijah, too. We have a houseful of kids but it's really nice for Olivia and Reese to have someone to play with. Some days are more challenging than others but it's so much fun and I love 'em all to pieces. I know they'll all grow up so fast so I'm enjoying every moment while they're small. Aren't they too cute?
