Boston Children's Museum






























Abigail, Olivia, Larry, Jane and I took a trip to the Boston Children's Museum...perfect for a cold and rainy day. They had a blast learning all about science, culture, environmental awareness, health and the arts. Although I've only been to a few children's museums, this was the best one so far.




While at the museum they checked out each of the exhibits. It was National Chemistry Week so the American Chemistry Society hosted a chemistry fair. They learned about, sugar content in foods, how soap works and how to use litmus paper to determine the Ph of chapstick...and Larry is a lifetime member of the society so he was a proud Dad watching his babies learn about chemistry. They thoroughly enjoyed each exhibit. Abigail loved organizing the animals and Olivia had a great time learning about shadows.

The girls (ok...and Larry and I) played hard and had a lot of fun. On the way home we passed by the Occupy Boston site...needless to say they were a little cold...

Harvest Festival and Pumpkin Patch (there will undoubtedly be more pics like these)





Just me and the girls...:0)



From top: 1. Guess who is Larry's mini-me and guess who's Teresa's mini-me? 2. Olivia, unlike Abigail at this age, likes to launch herself down slides any way that will make it faster/more exciting (like face first, on knees, etc)... 3. The girls were awaiting the Columbus day parade in their double stroller.

My FAVORITE part of the day...hands down.



When school is dismissed Olivia's top priority is to find her big sister....then they all play outside. So sweet.

Olivia & Abigail visit Vermont






Abigail and Olivia had the chance to spend the day with their friends Annie and Zoe Marek in Vermont. They loved hanging out under the apple tree, by the chicken house and playing in the beautiful leaves with their great friends.

**Thank you Grace for letting us visit. We're happy you are living in Vermont in an awesome house living the dream!! Miss you guys!

First Day of School anticipation...






Abigail started off her first day of school with a good breakfast surrounded by family. She was also accompanied by Grandma, which made the day perfect for her!

Abigail is officially a pre-schooler






Abigail began preschool at Emmanuel Day School in Newport, Rhode Island. Her teacher is Ms. Terry and she's LOVES it.
