Miss Corrigan Lynne ~

I love my sister!
A quick picture before saying goodbye to Papa and Mammy!

They can't hold her enough.

Leaving the hospital.

As you know, we welcomed Corrigan Lynne into this world on November 23rd. She has brought many smiles into our home already and it's hard to believe she is already 2 weeks old. The boys just eat her up and want to hold her all of the time. Here are several pictures of her from the hospital to the present.

Batman finds some Clues ~ Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Another fun year for the Anderson's. Bryce did a great job again helping the boys carve their pumpkins. Odin had fun being Batman; he especially had fun wearing his costume to ECFE (school). Quinn was Blues Clues. This year Odin stood at the front door and handed out candy to all of our trick or treaters...as he said "his friends came over"!

Fall Leaves and the Pumpkin Patch ~

The boys had a good time playing in the leaves this weekend
and of course our annual trip to the pumpkin patch was a hit too.

Renaissance Festival ~

Quinn was dancing to the music ~ I wish I had the video camera.

The Anderson's made their first trip to the Renaissance Festival this past Sunday. The weather was beautiful and we really enjoyed ourselves. The boys loved the petting zoo, seeing the elephants and camels. Odin got stung by a bee for the first time and thankfully we now know he is not allegic. Bryce enjoyed all of the pottery, swords/knives and most importantly the horn he could drink out of. I really enjoyed seeing all of it and personally couldn't believe how many people were there...crazy! We are looking forward to going again next year.

Handyman Ray ~

Mom and Dad came down and spent a week with us a couple of weeks ago. Dad was kept very busy being our handyman. The biggest project he completed was adding more cabinets in our dining room area. They turned out AWESOME and actually make the space seem larger. The boys had fun playing in them until I quickly filled them up. We all agreed that they seem like they have always been there.

In addition, Dad replaced our small gate on our fence with an 8 foot gate. Now we are able to utilize our backyard for more storage of big items. As Ray said "it was easy!".

Bryce and Dad also cut down several trees so that we can have more sun on our garden, Dad replaced a couple pieces of our siding by our patio, Bryce put down more sod along the patio and most importantly, in Odin's eyes, Papa put up his swing on the tree (which he rides everytime we are outside)! It was a great week to accomplish many projects. Now what can I find for Dad to do when the baby comes ~ oh wait, the list is already started :) Thanks to Mom too for helping out with the boys, cooking, cleaning and doing laundry. That has been missed already.
