Ethan loved helping Daddy push the wheel barrel


Daddy will never have to do yard work alone again- or at least until Ethan is oh, 15!


Ethan determined to walk back and forth as many times as it would take to fill the garden box

Here are a few pictures from our Halloween weekend. Grandma and Grandpa Yarusavage came to stay with us for the weekend. We had a great time visiting a farmers' market to pick out some carving pumpkins, or as Ethan calls them, "balls!" We walked around a pumpkin festival, where 5,000 pumpkins were lit, up and down the streets around LL Bean, and we carved pumpkins! Ethan had a great time taking in all of the activity and was very taken with the jack o' lanterns that filled the sidewalks.

On Halloween, we spent some time visiting cousins Jack, Maddie, and Marshall, and then we did some trick or treating in downtown Freeport. Ethan was excited to get balloons, and Daddy was excited to get candy! Overall, we had a really fun weekend and can't wait until next year when Ethan (hopefully) actually likes dressing up- he HATED his costume this year! You'll notice that in most of the pics with his cousins he is eating- crackers to keep the little bee happy with his hood up!

Our newest and most exciting news is that Ethan is walking! He was taking a few steps here and there, but suddenly, over the last week, he has gotten steadier and steadier on his feet and boy is he proud of himself. We love watching the little drunkin' sailor teetering across our living room floor- absolutely adorable!

Anyway, I'm going to keep this one short, as Ethan's naps have been short this week- teething!

Thanks for reading!
