Penny's Baptism

Thanks to Hurricane Sandy we got to enjoy an extended stay in Saratoga Springs.  Unfortunately, the same storm prevented all of the grandparents from making it to Penny's Baptism.  So needless to say we had plenty of cake & cupcakes to feed us in case all power was lost and we really ended up in an emergency situation.  Thankfully that didn't happen and we were able to just spend some great quality time with Sara, Eric, Alli, Penny, & Chloe ;)

Trick or Treat

Who say's we're too old for Halloween ;) 

Ohio

We headed up to Ohio to celebrate the October birthday's and while we were there added another one to the list.  Eric & Tenzin welcomed Claire to world the day before we left, congrats guys! 

Speaking of new additions, Cleveland put in a Casino downtown so of course that was on our must do list.  The place was so crowded but it was fun to watch all the table games and take it all in.  None of us came away big winners but we all had a blast! 

We had a great weekend and just enjoyed a lot of quality time with the fam, including a pumpkin carving content ;)  Guess who the winner was?!?!

ACL

Another year of music & mayhem at the Austin City Limits festival!  Meredith came into town with a group of girls and we had a blast hanging out on the first day.  The second day was just as much fun but quite a bit muddier.  A downpour hit midday and turned the place into a mudpit but that didn't keep us away, we just made the most of it.  By day three we were pretty exhausted but managed to rally and meet up with some of Shaun's coworkers.  This festival never lets us down, it's filled with great energy and acts!
