Halloween

This was Ale's first halloween! Her cousin Nola came over the day before in her costume. Then tonight, we took Ale out 'trick or treating' with her cousin Rocco. Oh yah, her Grandad Dave and Grandma Susan, and her Grannie Bev all got to see her.

hanging out

Here are a few pics of Alessandra just hanging out these last few weeks.

How about Apples instead?

Ok, so the pears were not a hit...but she seemed to tolerate apples...actually, I think she preferred her bib!

Harvest Fair

We got a chance to go to the Harvest fair with our good friends the Fellers. Here are some pics of the girls & pumpkins.

Alessandra & Phoenix...Phoenissimo

Time really does fly...Here are a few pics of Alessandra & her cousin Phoenix. He is just a few months older than Ale...it is sooo much fun watching them play together.

Pears... how yummy

Here are few pics of Alessandra eating pear for the first time. Ryan & I were quite entertained by her expressions.

Mom

...just one quote she loved
"I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom in magnificent glow, than a sleepy & permanent plant, the proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." Jack London
