Trick-or-Treat

Halloween was awesome. I think it's one of my favorite holidays again now that I'm a mom. We went with Karrie, Clint & CJ around our neighborhood. Karrie took the pictures for me. CJ was Ghost Rider. Noah was Maverick from Top Gun (all thanks to Grandma B). Everyone loved both their costumes. Noah got a lot of "awwwww" and "he is soooo cute!" and he certainly was :)

Our neighborhood was all done up and there was a decent crowd out. Noah wasn't afraid of all the goblins and ghouls and bloody creepy costumes. He was, however, afraid of this 11 year old boy who was walking behind us in a simple whits ghost costume. The kid would pull his mask up and say "it's ok! I'm just a kid!" but Noah freaked out for a long time about him. Finally he started reciting everything we were saying and got over it in his own Noah way, by telling ME "don't worry mommy. don't be scared. he's just a guy. no scared, ok? it's ok mommy".

We had a good time. I carried Tristan up front in the baby sling and he slept nearly the entire time... too bad I didn't have a kangaroo costume! When he did wake up I was able to position him in the sling so he could eat while we finished the walk home. Did I mention I love my baby sling?

Looks like fun!What a nice sling :)

Pretty soon you'll be able to just top Tristan off before you go places and he won't have to eat quite so often.When were home I let Ember eat whenever she wants to ,but it ends up being spaced 2-4 hours depending on her growth spurts :)

Ava loves to comfort me too.She'll say "It ok Mommy...here" and hand me whatever it is she is playing with :)

Your hair looks pretty & long!

Ahhh, He looks so handsome and grown up. I love Halloween. Its such a fun holiday for them. I am glad you like your sling. I never had a sling like that while nursing Dylan. It seems to make you life a lot easier. Especially if you can nurse while walking home.

That sling is awesome! That is great it's working out for you so well. Haley was way to big to be in one of those or ours wasn't very good. It like snapped when I put her in.

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
