wahoo october

i absolutely love this month. the crispness in the air, baking, pumpkins, school supplies, hot chocolate, sweaters, leaves changing, holidays coming, party planning, fire places...oh, and so much more. fall has actually hit boston and i am in love.

yesterday we joined playgroup and headed down to do some apple picking. 'tis the season, right? well, once we figured out we weren't quite in the right place and that we could go to the grocery store to buy our apples for much less, we opted for a mini photo shoot instead. of course, i brought my personal photographer along and ended up getting some cute pics! all photos courtesy kristen e. tutt. (i think it's more professional with the e in there, kristen!)

what we now like to call our "un-apple-picking-adventure"

two of our favorite partners in crime

calvin being ALL boy...

did you notice his new buzz? kristen and i think he looks a little david beckham-ish. all we need is a little scruff.

checkin' out the "amals"...after our brief un-apple-picking experience we decided to follow google maps, er kristen's, directions to the abington target. well, let's just say after some good car bonding time, a stop at the local sandwich shop, and one phone call to mere, we finally made it to target heaven. (for those of you who shop at both south bay and then any other target, you know what i'm talking about). but, i'm pretty sure sophie and calvin didn't mind a little extra time to fool around in the back seat...wink, wink. thanks guys for a fun, much needed de-funking day.and if you thought october couldn't get any better...look who we get to hang out with all weekend! my old college roommate and friend since freshman year and her husband andrew are here in beantown. today we spent a classic fall day up at "hahvad", or harvard, mingling with all the ivy league-ers and eating clam chowda. more on our weekend to come...

we, of course, can't forget about this guy! trav takes part of his national boards tomorrow so has been really busy getting prepared for that. good luck, babe!

and for some more, yummy october...i'm off to make some of these.
