Beautiful Girls

I decided I needed to practice using Matthew's camera more and there was some nice light coming in through our slider. Anna was just laying on her mat in the living room and Eliana came to check out what was going on. (And, yes, I know Eliana needs a haircut...)

Afternoon with Eliana

My mother took the two older kids to her house one day, so Eliana and I got some alone time while Anna was sleeping. We decided to bake; Eliana loved it when I used the mixer :) She was a good helper and very enthusiastic.

Cecilia's costume

So, here's the picture of Cecilia dressed in my old costumes. She had fun looking through my old stuff when I took the bag out before Halloween. You can see the pile of costumes behind her. I took this picture before she put the fishnet stockings on. :)

Halloween

Here are the kiddos before heading out to trick-or-treat in Londonderry. I'd say these photos show the kids' personalities pretty well. Thomas is a very serious Jedi (he takes his Star Wars very seriously). Eliana just laughs and smiles all the time; she's also a goofy monkey. Cecilia is very dramatic and insisted on striking this pose. Their personalities are all very distinct. I'm eager to see how Anna will fit into the mix (although I'm enjoying the cuddly baby phase right now--her big smiles are just melting me).

The weather was unseasonably warm for NH--70 degrees! It was great. Anna was a skeleton, but I don't think we got a picture of her. She didn't actually go out with us on this day.
