Visit from Aunt Kristen, Uncle Darren, and Baby Maggie

The Burrells came for a visit last weekend and we had a wonderful time! Anna really loves her new cousin Maggie. We had a lot of fun playing outside in the leaves. On Sunday, we went to Halloween parade and Anna was the cutest little piggie!



Aunt Kristen has some more beautiful pictures on her blog:

Pumpkin Festival!!

This past weekend we spent a beautiful autumn afternoon at the Ives Farms Pumpkin Festival in Cheshire, CT. They had everything from pony rides, hot air balloons, and bungee jumps to face painting, balloon making clowns and Anna's favorite, pumpkin painting. Though I think she may have eaten more paint than actually ended up on her pumpkin. We all went on a tractor pulled hayride and enjoyed the beautiful leaf-changing scenery. The colors are amazing right now!
The last thing we did before leaving was a pony ride. Anna was a bit unsure at first, then really got it to it and was laughing so much!



We went shopping for some slippers fro Anna as our house is all hardwoods and is getting colder with the weather. I tried to steer her towards some cute pink slip-ons but all she wanted were these giraffe ugg-like booties. Here's a few photos of Anna modeling her new slippers as well as a few cool ones Daddy took outside on the patio.

We are so happy Maggie is finally here! Anna came home from LI and has been swaddling "babies" at daycare all week. We went and got one for her for home, which she very attentively feeds and swaddles. It's so cute!!

Here's a few random photos from the last couple of weeks:
