Best House Ever!

It seems we are geographically challenged when it comes to Halloween and trick-or-treaters. Not only are the houses spread out, but our driveway is so long you can't even see our house from the street....a real Halloween challenge. Last year perhaps 10 spooks and goblins rang our bell; we had to do better this year. So, we lined the driveway and sidewalk with Halloween luminarias and got really good treats -- glow-in-the-dark necklaces, paratroopers and tattoos! I think our numbers doubled this year, perhaps over 20 rang our bell. I knew we'd bumped it up a notch when I overhead one little StormTrooper as he walked away, "This was the best house!" Ahhh, success.

Litchfield County

Bradford's friend, Jenessa, paid us a visit last weekend - such a treat! A loop through Litchfield County in NW Connecticut proved to be stunning. Didn't have the GPS, relied on Google Maps, and only made one wrong turn. Figured that out when we saw the green sign, "Welcome to New York, The Empire State". Oops. Maybe we just got sidetracked by the surroundings....

Baby Zachary

Zachary's growing like crazy!! He's two months old and tipping the scale at 14 pounds! He LOVES his mama -- almost as much as his mama (and grandma) love him. Counting the days until he comes to Connecticut!
