Autumn in New York

We had a get-together in Central Park for our birthday, a little belatedly, last weekend. We were psyched so many people could make it out to play, and thanks for all the cool gifts!

Our Big Day

Friday, October 13th started out special. We took a bath, and had pancakes for breakfast!

We took a solid two hour nap so Mom could put together our new big toy, the Craftsman Workbench (Thank you Gabe and Dante! We love it!) And then we played outside - it was a beautiful day. We broke in our new jeans.

Next we took a stroll to the pond to watch the ducks. Note the cool wristbands Auntie Kate sent us from Spain. She made them herself and they say "UNO" on them!

Daddy came home from work early and Grandma Marian came over to celebrate with us and eat Cupcakes! We liked the frosting best!

Happy birthday, Luke and Andre, we love you

Happy birthday and may all your dreams come true,

When you blow out the candles,

one light stays aglow,

That's the love-light in your hearts

where 'ere you go!
