Halloween, Birthday and More...

Not having any fun around here...

Yay for our visit with the Moores over Halloween!

No pumpkin guts for Cal this year.

Off to the Gardens for some fall fun...

Fightin' fires in style...

Stop for a family picture (very painful for Travis) before the extravaganza began...

1st Trick or Treating

(For fellow St. Louisans: Cal's joke was "Knock knock...BOO!")

Happy 8 Months Sweet Natalie Kay!

So glad my roomie and her daughter got to come celebrate with us! SO MUCH FUN!!!

And Chesed, thank you for keeping the college decoration tradition alive! No matter the hour...

Calvin LOVED spending time with his new best friend, Lois, and Natalie enjoyed her new found freedom of being left alone.

Return to the Gardens for Cal's 1st date...

"Mo-ooom, stop bothering us!"

What a gentleman...

To the Magic House...

Our little ballerinas reading before bed.

Saying goodbye at the Science Center...

(Wash U, Wash U, Wash U...wink)

Oktoberfest with the Moores

One more trip to the Zoo...

Cool Cal at the Vehicle Fair

Poor Natalie had enough vehicles.

Off to the pumpkin patch with friends...

Farmer Cal haulin' pumpkins

Cal and Travis meeting Curious George at the Treetop Playground party! And what a party that was!

Lil Cupcake

LOVE LOVE LOVE her big smile!

Lots to do at the Big Read...

Calvin takes his job very seriously!

Can't get enough of our little Nellie girl

Sweet brother and sister

Girl talk with Grace

No fall is complete without the Best of Missouri!

Cal INSISTED on climbing over every single pumpkin- sure to find the right one.

The cows were by far the highlight of the day.

September Equals Free Festivals, Fireworks, First Day of School and Football in St. Louis

Last day of summer...

Down to Art Hill to listen to the St. Louis Symphony and see some fireworks! By far the best evening of the summer!

Great Balloon Race= NO hot air balloons + 90 degree weather

At least they had sheep we could have seen at Purina Farms...

Cal and Travis learning about how not to wear kilts at the St. Charles Irish Fest

First Day of School at the Magic House!!!

Cal kept saying: "No school, just Magic House."

My little Picasso

Back to St. Charles for Oktoberbest

Calvin was absolutely THRILLED to see each and every Cadillac and fire truck that went by during the parade.

These children LOVE to bounce!

First and only day for cold weather clothes!

Cal recreating the "uh oh, airplanes falling" by the Arch on the 4th of July

Off to Wash U for a football game (I hear their Law School is worth moving from DC for. Wink! Wink!)

My little patriot during the "Star Spangled Banner"

So far, this is the most fascinating, terrifying and hysterical thing in the whole world to my little Calvin.

And of course, no month in St. Louis is complete without a trip to the Zoo. This time, Cal was drawn to the "dead" monkey's bottom.

Natalie Kay LOVES playing in the kitchen!

Swinging away...
