Halloween

Grandma Jill and Grandpa Bill gave Sophia her first Halloween costume. Sophia got to be dressed as an adorable little pumpkin. We showed off her outfit by going on a modified trick or treat run with Mimi, Vanessa, Noah, and Sharon to Oma's and then to Mirca and Barbel's. Sage meet us after at Mimi and Pops house for diner and Sophia transformed into a goblin.

UAlbany/Saratoga

The Young and Neulander families took a trip to UAlbany for Aunt Jenna's induction into the honors society.  We are so proud of Aunt Jenna's achievement and hope that Sophia will follow in her foot steps. Sophia behaved so well and was completely tranced by the crowd, loud speakers, clapping, ect... Just look at her in awe.

After the ceremony we all headed to Saratoga for eats and to hang with Uncle Kiere and Aunt Lauren. 

Sophia, Sage, and I stayed with Uncle Keire and Aunt Lauren in their beautiful new home. Sophia only cried once during the night so hopefully we will be invited back! In the morning the Neulanders joined us for a wonderful brunch cooked by our gracious hosts.

Friends

Audrey and Charlotte stopped over for their last play date.   Sadly the Moore Family is moving to Rhode Island. We will miss them. 

Audrey and Sohpia gave each other a big high five.

Played on the floor. Then Audrey showed off some of her tummy time skills.

Sophia decided she should get in on the action.

Road Trip

We took our first long drive with Sophia to attend cousin Dylan's baptism. She loved the ride down to Westchester. The next day we celebrated Dylan's admission into Christianity. Here are Sophia and I hanging out before the ceremony.

Dylan looking dapper in his white duds...

Being blessed...

With the ceremony concluded we all headed back to Deb, Tim, and Dylan's.

Above in the left upper corner is Dylan's Papa helping to hype up all the kids by handing out m&m's. Mama always says "that's what grandparents are for." Below is the after affect.

Dylan and Sophia were sad they were too little to eat candy and play with the other kids, but it won't be long!

It was a wonderful visit and Sophia cried almost all the way home cause she did not want to leave.
