It's Been Awhile... Random Pics Part 1

Just sharing some (random) fave pics from the last couple months, the kids are growing so fast it's hard to keep up! In no particular order...

Leyla on her way home from the allergist after she was declared food allergy free, WOO HOO!!!!!

 

 Dinner with friends to celebrate!

Friends Charlene and Emily made her a cake (with eggs!) 

 

 Logan up to no good while Connor concentrates on homework.

Kids hanging in the basement (Connor dressed as a power ranger).

Andrew played in a softball league all summer, the kids really loved watching him play!

Logan kicking back with a chicken finger at the town pool. This boy loves to eat. And eat and eat and eat.

Typical dude, prefers to to take the remote for a stroll rather than a doll...

Connor with his "pet" ladybug "Cuddles." He still talks about him, and says he's the "best pet I ever had." We really need to get these poor kids a real pet ;)

 Teaching Logan to scoot is a team effort!

Ice cream!

I loved this cute moment I caught at the Nature Center. Connor was helping Leyla to spot the otter.

Logan especially loved the turtles.

My littlest love!

Connor and his best bud Michael... just your average superhero playdate.

All day back to school shopping marathon, success celebrated with ice cream. Leyla was saying "boo-ya!"

Annie, Tracey and my Elsas :)

Young, wild and free.

 Halloween costumes take 1!

Connor's first day of 1st grade!

Traveling back from Labor day weekend at the camp. We partied hard!

Loves his trike.

Bros!

Leyla's first day of Pre-K!

Big hugs for big bro.

For awhile there Leyla was making this fort out of the furniture on a daily basis. She said she needed "her privacy" (you'll see that we got her her own tent for her birthday).

Modeling an outfit she got for her birthday. Is she 4 or 14?! Logan doesn't know what to make of this craziness.

Leyla with her favorite seersucker dress and Anna boots (from the movie Frozen). She basically has not taken these boots off for about four months now. I call this look "Connecticut meets Arendelle."

Leyla's 4th birthday party at The Little Gym.

A Frozen theme of course, here's her Frozen ice cream cake!

Michael, Connor, Leyla and Emily.

The fam.

 Leyla with her new bike and Elsa nightgown!

 Andrew reading to Leyla's class for her birthday.

 Beach in Darien in September.

We were there so I could run the 10K I do every year (minus when I was pregnant and had just had Logan). I ran my personal best and was so so proud! My average pace was a 9:14 mile (that may not be that fast to some but for me it was awesome!)

 Me and my guy!

Saturday Farmers market picnic.

Leyla and her girlfriends at friend Scarlett's birthday party. All the girls got their faces painted and fairy wings!

Hi guy!

As a special treat on occasion we'll let Connor and Leyla fall asleep in our room. I came in to move them and found them holding hands. Best buds!!

Leyla with her "little" bro.

Andrew really needs to work on his hide and seek skills.

So sweet!

Remember when she was bald her first two years of life?!

My awesome girl.

She sure does love to scoot.

Pumpkin patch this past weekend. Little bright for Connor but I love Logan's big grin!

Later that night we a big jack-o-lantern festival down in Tarrytown. The kids loved it! Connor brought a sketch pad to sketch his favorite designs, so cute.

Playdate earlier this week with Brendan, his Tokyo baby group buddy. We don't see them that often, even though they live in the next town over. Regardless, the boys always pick up right where they left off when we do!

Duck, NC

Having everyone at home every day makes for not much down time (especially not time at the computer!) so I may never catch up. But first up- pics from our vacation in Duck, NC in early July. It was our first time going down to the Outer Banks and we had such a great time!! Lots of pics...

Trying the infamous "Duck Donuts" (they did not disappoint!)

Go kart fun!

 BFF's!

The crazy crew (with my pillow barricade to keep the light out during sleeping, ha).

I'm sure I've already mentioned a dozen times that Connor is the best big brother in the world?? He loves to hold Logan while he's having his bottle.

 Totally unprompted and I love that I caught this sweet moment.

 Some days it felt like our own private oasis!

Wait for me!

I call Logan is my little lover. He gives the best hugs and likes to just snuggle himself up against us (the kids really love this too!)

Hi guy!

Not the worst place to have to take a conference call but Logan says, "what?! On vacation?"

 That's Andrew out there boogie boarding.

It's a toss up who had more fun on the boogie board :)

 Ninja pose!

Burying the baby (he loved it!)

Definitely makes it easier to keep track of three kids (by burying one of them.)

Connor is showing off his sand castle. This was also when Logan decided to make it clear that he had had enough of the beach for the morning (we pushed his morning nap!) Poor guy!

My sweet girl (and lover of the beach!)

Picnic lunch.

Pre-nap snuggles and giggles selfie.

Ice cream!

One of my favorite pics. I've always known that boy walks on water!

Shops at Duck.

Beautiful sunset.

Taking in the beautiful view!

Breakfast time!

 

Snuggling with my sweet boys.

View from our balcony.

Such a fun week!!
