Fright Night Fight




The neighborhood boys have taken to Ace, often inviting him over to wrestle on the front lawn. The Halloween battle was especially colorful, as Optimus Prime and Jack Sparrow took out Scary Skeleton Guy.

We then had a terrific time Trick-Or-Treating, as Ace led Nanna, Mommy, and Daddy around the neighborhood while Papa dealt with the hoards of ghouls who came to our door in search of goodies.

DMV




Ace embodies the universal excitement we all feel during a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

The Kid was a trooper, diligently monitoring our ticket as Daddy waited to get his Maine driver's license.

Train Trio




Ace, Charlie, and Haviland fool around on the slide after school.

Getting Boo'd


Ace got quite a welcome-to-the-neighborhood treat when he discovered that someone had left him a secret "boo bag" on the front porch. We suspect this was courtesy of our neighbor, Devon.

We are now supposed to pay it forward by leaving one on someone else's door.

Homeland




Today was a big day - we officially moved into our new home. We celebrated with dinner out at a great little BBQ joint nearby, where Ace enjoyed pizza and laughs with his appreciative parents.

Lil' Pumpkin

Ace spent the day with Papa and Nanna, who helped him design and cut his own jack o'lantern! He proudly announced, "It's scary!" when he showed it to Mommy & Daddy.

He's Got a Fast Car




Nanna and Papa treated us to dinner at Red Robin, where one highlight is the race car video game. Despite the fact that he wasn't actually playing the game, Chase was really into it.

A Little Help From His Friends




The Critter curls up with some of his friends, after spending an evening with Nanna & Papa (so Mommy & Daddy could go out for dinner). We're thankful for everyone - stuffed and not-stuffed - who care so much for our bundle of joy.

Work in Progress




Nanna graciously devoted her day to cleaning our new kitchen, as Mommy and Daddy puttered about the house. Our painter begins tomorrow - goodbye orange living room! - and electrical and further basement work are in the near future.

Thus, occupancy remains a bit off. Even so, Ace did get to have some of his first real play time in the new abode. He was very excited to finally get Rokenbok out of the POD, and he had the entire living room (complete with refinished floors) in which to spread out, as the Pats crushed the Bills in the background.

Thanks for all of your elbow grease today, Nanna!
