Halloween

We packed up the kids and headed to North Andover for some Halloween fun. Jack is supposed to be a horse, Cara a lamb. It was a beautiful night; almost so warm that Cara didn't need the wooly lamb suit with a hood to keep her warm, but whatever get in the monkey suit.

Does he look like a horse?
Nay.


Cara's best smile and Jack looking in
the general direction of the camera.
SUCCESS!


Daaaang, that is one orange Halloween shirt.
I went as a fat guy, now give me some candy!

Baaaa!

This reminds me of the kid from a Christmas Story who can't put his arms down... didn't he have to dress in a bunny suit too? We've made poor Cara is that kid.

What's up Randy Parker? (Ralphie's little brother)

Smile. Say Cheese. Come Back Here Right Now!

At some point we are going to have to get some professional pictures of these kids. We gave it a shot at one point but it was a disaster. These were our attempts to get a nice photo of the two of them.

Cheeeeeeeese.

Nice smile Cara.


Hey, they are both looking so this is the winner.


We right here...

The Best Jack Picture Yet

Okay, lots of posts in the last few days and I think this one may have gotten lost in the fray. Look how happy this kid is on his mother's lap! Santa will find this fun hard to top! Here it is again for those of you without a keen eye for handsome-itude-ness.

Weekend Fun

Dad drives too fast, Mom drives too slow, Cara's speed is just right.


She called "Shotgun" fair and square, who are we to argue?


Who says that it's too late in the season for the sandbox?


Slow down, moving too fast.

Tummy Time

Look at this kid holding his head high!

Now Wait One Apple Picking Minute

Okay, I admit it: it is much harder to get the camera out now that we have two rugrats. Jack is definitely cute and getting cuter by the day, there is no Cara bias... it is simply much tougher to stop him squirming when I am holding a camera. Still, special occasions or activites warrant an unpacking of the lens.

The whole Begley family went up to Apple Acres today. Brigid, Cara, Jack and I met the Andrews clan up there. We all had a great time. Cara loved picking apples, chasing Charlotte around, and picking out pumpkins.

Jack got very excited about apple picking


Working together Cara and I got the giants that noone could reach


Very fresh


It is as if she is surprised I have the camera even after the 1000th photo

Photo Op

Once the camera is out, it is open season the kids. I don't know if anyone actually yelled "that's a wrap" at the end, but it would have been appropriate.

Brigid's caption: "That's hot"


See, he DOES wake up and party from time to time!
This is one of my favorites.


This photo wasn't staged at all... Jack always looks like Joe Pesci.
