The rest of October 2009

Here are a few pictures from the rest of October including some from the Halloween Fun Faire Roan's preschool puts on every year. It was a bunch of fun. The kids also had portraits taken and there's a sample included!

Halloween 2009

We started Halloween a day early with the annual Goblin Walk through the shops of downtown San Carlos with our friends Amelie and Colby. On Saturday we went trick-or-treating back in our old neighborhoods with some friends. Mali was a ladybug fairy (which she would wear everyday if we let her) and Roan was a train that he designed himself.

Pumpkin Patches October 2009

We went to two pumpkin patches. The first was a real pumpkin farm with fun things like wagons and the second one was full of "fun" things like pony rides and jumpy houses. Mali's favorite activity was pony riding and Roan's was train riding, of course, though he actually did try out the ponies for the first time this year!

Roan's First Day of St. Paul's

Roan started a new preschool this year and absolutely loves it. Here are a few shots from his first day!

September 2009

Both Mali and Roan are growing up so fast. Mali can hold a pretty good conversation at this point, loves to ask "why?", and still loves her babies, "meows", and the color blue. Roan is thriving at school this year, loves to practice writing his letters, and is loving swimming lessons these days. He also seems to be developing little crushes and recently woke Jan at 5am one morning to ask him, "Daddy, are you thinking about Skye?" who is a friend of his from school. When Jan said "No, are you?", he responded "Yeah" with a big smile on his face.

Mali's First "Senior" Day at Little Wonders

Some pictures from Mali's first day back at Little Wonders this year. She's so excited to go every week and "see her friends" (whom she promptly ignores as soon as we're there).
