Dot's First Halloween

Our first Halloween with Dot was awesome. It was an absolutely beautiful fall day today, so we were able to sit out on the porch and hand out candy to all the trick or treaters. We had a ton of trick or treaters tonight...we were almost completely out of candy by 5:45pm! Dot and her cousin Eli were definitely the hit of Franklin street tonight in their Star Wars costumes. The costumes were a bit big but at least they will be able to grow into them for next year...

Chicago Weekend

We had a fabulous weekend in Chicago to celebrate all the October birthdays in the family. The highlight of the weekend was the cooking class at the Chopping Block where we learned how to make an awesome pork tenderloin, homemade pasta with goat cheese, and a pear tart. We had a great time and Dot was an absolute dream baby the entire weekend!

Dot's New Bed

Bryan used oak beams from his parents old barn to make a crib for Dorothy. He just finished it up this weekend and we were able to set it up in her room yesterday. She seems to really like it although we haven't tried putting her to bed in it just yet.

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Millers in from Singapore

Stuart, his wife, and baby Sophie are in from Singapore and Bryan, Dot and I got to catch up with them at the farmers market this past Friday.

Aunt Nenny Anne and Dot

We had our second wine tasting gathering downtown last night and since all potential babysitters were present at the event, we took Dot with us and passed her around to various family members throughout the evening.

Dad's Birthday Cake

I made Bryan a coconut cake for his birthday but I think Dot was convinced it was for her. She's getting more and more interested in what we're eating and drinking.
