Happy Halloween!!

What great fun we had this Halloween! The annual Cold Spring Halloween Parade went on despite a very rainy day. The sun came out just in time for the main event. Hannah dressed as the cow who jumped over the moon(Rob), Katie was the cat and the fiddle and Riley was a beautiful fairy. There was live music at the end of the parade and Hannah boogied. She is VERY into my "Dance with me baby" class and the moms in the class all remark on what a very happy baby she is and I tell them they've been duped because she is at her sunniest in that dance studio, which, of course, warms my heart every time. Despite a nasty bout with bronchiolitis last week, Hannah's been doing really well and some attempts at words like"doggie", "yogurt", "hot", and "choo choo" have been heard. Very exciting. She is cracking us up pretty regularly too. She has a fantastic sense of humor - she laughs every time I bump my head or slip which evidences it. Riley is making us proud by beating Rob at chess periodically(could he actually be letting her win?hmm..) and making the Destination Imagination Team at school! Smarty boots. Took the girls to the Children's Museum of Manhattan for a day and they had a blast. We're gearing up for a very big Veteran's Day weekend with Rob, Riley and I going to Rob's opening of Meet Me in St. Louis at Paper Mill Playhouse in NJ and the girls making a trip to the NY Hall of Science so Riley can see the "Cyberchase" exhibit. Should be exhausting but fun! Will try to post again after Turkey Day with new pix.
