Pre-Halloween

Halloween pics to follow.... Flash and Sue came to get some pumpkins. Annika was very proud of her pumpkin picking abilities and loved pulling the wagon. She also loves the pony rides at the farm in Half Moon Bay.

Northeast Fall

Here are some pictures from our trip back east that I have not gotten onto the blog yet....

Quick trip to NJ to see Nana Max

... then to Rhinbeck to see Jenn, Ross and Oona in their cute new house




...then to the Berkshires for some fall fun











... and finally to Boston to see Genevieve, Alex, Julian and Flora

The Boss!

for those who live on another planet - that is Bruce Springsteen. Great show....

The Ax Man is 10 months!

Not sure if Annika is singing in Danish, Swedish or English.....

weekend

We had a great weekend - beautiful weather. A former sales-rep for Morten's company, Mary and her husband Dave, came down from Bellingham, WA for the Bluegrass festival. They came over Friday night for dinner and took their Christmas card photo (see below) what a great looking family! We went to the Bluegrass festival on Saturday but some of us enjoyed the french fries and face painting more than the music (no pics...) On Sunday the Escobosa's came over and Annika and Maya splashed in the pool - and at Axel. It was a little cold after a while but everyone had fun and Axel cannot wait to be a big kid. 10 moths tomorrow, so it is moving along fast!

get on up

Axel tried more than ever to pull himself up to a standing position a few days ago at Kelly's - he has not shown much interest. Meanwhile, the lovebirds (Annika and Hayden) were busy in bed... sleeping.
