Sick Ponies
Claire gathered up her Pretty Ponies and reported, "Some of my ponies are sick; they have the swine flu". Four-year-olds are up on their communicable diseases.

Our Little Pumpkins
Our two pumpkins. Above is Anna, this Halloween at 18 months. Below is Claire at 14 months. They both like to laugh, and don't mind being dressed as a pumpkin!
Wow, our hallway is much improved with some paint!
Halloween
We Trick-or-Treated with the Andres family again this year. Check out these cuties -- makes you want to hand over your candy bowl, right?
Our Trick-or-Treaters return. Anna had already broken into her loot (check out the Cheetoh stained hands and cheeks!).
In our pre-Halloween celebrating Anna dressed as a cheerleader. Here is photographic evidence. Halloween night was a tad chilly for the cheerleader gear.
Hope you all had a great Halloween, and got the candy you were hoping for!

When it Was Warm
It's getting very cold outside (possible snow on Monday), and I'm getting nostalgic for our lovely warm, sunny days. Hence, lots of posts from warm, sunny days.
Claire loves riding her new bike around the block again and again.
We visited Ryan's parents in Sturgeon Bay and the girls got to check out a tourist farm. Hmm...I worded that strangely. Not a farm that raises tourists, rather a farm that's all all fancied up for tourists to enjoy while staying far away from any poop. Worked well for us!
This is a cow video game. You must pull the lit up udder to earn points. Anna was not so good at this game. Better at petting the plastic calf below.
Ryan and I went to my cousin's wedding sans-children (thanks to Ryan's parents). Check out how fancy my family looks.
Our first trip to Art in the Barn. A children's singer had Claire rushing the stage. Seriously, the guy had to usher her off. We must discuss concert etiquette.
After much preparation with my friend Kristen, I ran my first 1/2 marathon over Labor Day weekend. It went well and we are planning to do our second next summer.
This should have been our first clue that summer was over. Octoberfest in LaCrosse while visiting the Allen family. Ryan and Anna are in front, Claire with Nate and Amelia are in back.
I love that we can walk a few blocks and buy pumpkins at the neighborhood farm. Anna was not as pleased with her lack of leg room.

Claire is 4
Four years old! It's crazy, I know people said the time goes by fast...but I can't believe it's been 4 years! As is our tendency we celebrated a lot.
At the fire station. Candles lit by none other than the fire chief!
At American Girl Place in Chicago.
At the Meyer Girl Palace. Check out my talented husband's handiwork. My cake does not get a photo (yes we made 2 cakes for the family party...which brings the cake total for Claire's b-day to 4...that seems too low...I'm sure I'm forgetting some).
August Head Injuries
Lots of scrapes and goose eggs for the girls this summer. It's amazing how quickly kids heal...and then re-injure themselves.

And the Rest of July
Photos of some of our July fun!
What a cute helper!
The girls snuggle Grandma Cathy
Claire and Ryan take a bike ride
Anna and buddy Otto looking so clean and innocent. Surely they won't smash their muffins or throw the lid off their cup...and then the cup full of milk...
Claire and buddy Amelia go floating in Great Aunt Cindy's pool
Anna got more teeth
Ryan coached Claire's soccer team
Claire and buddy Maddie wanted to play more post-practice. Ahh, sunshine we miss you!

4th of July
We have been really enjoying summer. So much that we haven't posted photos in a couple of months.
We enjoyed the 4th of July with lots of family and friends.
