Life in New Hampshire: October 2008

David is 4...

David turned four yesterday... well, he actually didn't turn 4 until after we sang Happy Birthday at his party (supper time). He came running over to me and asked, "mom, am I four now?"

Opening some presents from mom & dad in the morning...
...and a moose came from grandma & grandpa Nebraska!

I could post a hundred, but here are a few pictures of fall in New Hampshire...

a tree peaking over our roofline...

Grandma & Grandpa (both sets!) came to visit

We had the privilege of having 2 sets of grandparents visit us in about a 2 1/2 week span.. First Mike's parents flew out to see us for a few days... the kids took advantage of them and had them read book after book after book....

Grandpa looks a little tired of reading...

We took a trip into Boston and visited some historic areas in the North End...

What's a trip to New Hampshire without a drive over to the "moose store"
...and a lunch at Bob's
The morning after they left, David came into my room (very early) and said "grandma & grandpa' aren't here". I told him that they had left early in the morning, daddy had taken them to the airport. He said, "no, the other grandma & grandpa!" I had told him that grandma & grandpa Hlinka were coming after grandma & grandpa Nebraska had left... he took me quite literally.

So he waited....
