October at the house

The boys spend a lot of time on the play mat.  Hudson is trying to teach William about tummy time.

Family "hike" at Patapsco State Park

 

Taking a break from raking the leaves.  Hudson would push his lawn mower through the piles of leaves.  He really thought that he was being a good helper.

Bryant and Hudson are testing out their rain gear during SuperStorm Sandy.

Halloween

We went trick-or-treating on our street.  We don't get many kids down our street, so the neighbors were really excited to see the boys.  Hudson dressed up as a lion with a great 'Roar.'  William was a banana.  Hudson wasn't thrilled with wearing his costume, so the only full-length shot we got was of him trying to take his sweatshirt off.  However, a few days later he decided being a lion was fun, so proudly wore his costume to vote and shop at Target.

One more visit to Larriland

We made it out to Larriland Farms three times this fall.  As always, had a great time and enjoyed the fresh hot apple cider and fritters.

"I have a job to do"

One of Hudson's favorite activities for quite some time now has been jigsaw puzzles. It really is quite astonishing to us how quickly he puts them together. It was just Hudson and I hanging out tonight while Becky was out and William was asleep. While in the middle of his third puzzle of the night, he looked up at me and said very seriously, "I have a job to do Daddy."

Here's a photo showing how Hudson spent his last 35 minutes before bed.

Powell Visit

Uncle Josh and Aunt Sarah visited us for a long weekend from Michigan.  We had so much fun during their time here and wish that they lived much closer.  We took our 2nd trip of the season out to Larriland Farms and enjoyed their fresh apple fritters.  Hudson loved the hay maze and William just chilled in the Bjorn.

Bryant and Josh also tried out stand-up paddleboarding down the Potomac.  Bryant has been interested in getting into the sport for a while now and Josh is always up for trying just about anything.  Since we're not close enough to mountains to snowboard on a regular basis, Bryant is considering this as a new hobby that is more accessible to our East Coast residence.  They had a blast!
