October 2009

Early October 2009 - As always life is busy and full. We enjoyed family time, a few fall hikes and leaf blowing/raking. Enjoy the pictures!

Sarah - is she cute or what?!!

Frozen fog made the trees white with ice and looks like snow. So pretty!

September 2009

September - Another fun filled month. It began with Aaron's 4 day bike race in Vermont - the Green Mountain Stage Race. Kate loves to cheer Daddy on "Go Daddy, Go Daddy, Go!" Then off to a wedding with Aaron's friend Brian that he did the bike race with. Sidenote, Brian won the bike race (with teammate assistance from Aaron) and got married 5 days later. Then there are pictures of apple picking and smores. Enjoy!

Kate loves to play with Sarah under her tummy time gym thing.

Aaron coming up the App Gap - Go Daddy Go!

Afterward we went back to Sugarbush ski area where Aaron had parked and of course Kate had to play on the ski lift, she is my daughter after all!

Kate and her Daddy!

Sadie was along too for the fun!


The last day was a Criterium in downtown Burlington. That is some fast racing!

Kate got to climb her first tree (with a little Daddy help) and she loved it and wants to climb more!

No fear of heights here!

I got a new double jogging stroller that I love and am now jogging and walking much faster with the girls each morning. Kate loves it and Sarah isn't too sure - it was her first stroller ride. She takes most morning naps in this or a front pack.

Kate and Sarah all dressed up for the wedding.

Kate loves the eating of apples while apple picking!

Here's a good one Mom!

Kate, Sarah and Mom out apple picking!

Kate and Sarah got pumpkins there too!

August 2009 & Sarah's Baby Dedication

After getting home from California life didn't slow down much. We had Sarah's baby dedication at our church August 31 and Sarah's Grandparents came to celebrate.

Kate and Sarah posing for the camera.

Too cute!

Sadie loves her girls too!


Sadie and Sarah.

It's a giggle!:)

Kate wore this dress for the dedication - it was my dress as a little girl.

So cute!

Sarah is wearing the same dedication outfit that Kate wore and I wore as a baby. My grandmother made it for me all those years ago.

Cute girls!

AAAAHHHHHH!

Sarah all dressed up
