Halloween Party

Gigi is sick so I don't have any pictures of her in her costume :( Good news is Max won second place in the costume contest which came with a ribbon and $15. The costume cost me about $4.00 to make so we are ahead $11!

Max's First Fishing Trip

First fish!

Changes to the Boccolucci Household

As you all have heard by now we FINALLY got our backyard chickens. Two light brahmas and two white orpingtons (the yellow chicks). They are growing soooo fast it is amazing to watch. Maxwell is totally in love with them.




Max also got a small "big boy" bike this past weekend. Notice the ski helmet. His bike helmet is too small this year and too big for Gianna. He calls the bike his motorcycle and has already taken one good digger on the sidewalk. He started crying but then we figured out it was because Kevin brought him inside, not the blood on his face.


In other news, I have restarted my blog: http://totsandbottoms.blogspot.com to try and get more customers for my etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop/TotsandBottoms

I don't want to cross post so I will try and put them more family oriented news items on this blog and the more general life stuff on that one. Would love your feedback.

My new postcard and Max's 2 year pictures

This hasn't been printed yet but it will be my new postcard.

The rest of the pictures are from today's photoshoot at Portrait Innovations. They are just the raw images right now but you get the idea. No pictures of Gianna - we are planning to do hers in March when she is 6 months when we get a family photo done. Max was a complete ham and directed the staff on what props he was going to use and where they should stand. Happy to report that they complied with his demands and there wasn't one tantrum, which these days may be a new record for a 45 minute time frame.

I have PLENTY of pictures so let me know if you would like any of these... really please, I have no idea what I will do with all of them.

Maxwell's second birthday

Halloween Party

This was the Halloween party we went to with the McCauley Family. Her girls are cupcakes. Max went as Kevin.





Max in the jump house with "big" kids. I had to literally drag him out!

34 weeks/Botanical Gardens

I had the midwife check me out today because I had some pretty regular contractions two days ago. Turns out I am 80% effaced and 2 cm dilated. As much sitting around as possible (4 to 5 hours) - I asked if that included feet rubs and she said I should always ask. Not sure Max is going to be a big fan of hanging around the house and no more walks for awhile.

Random Pictures

So serious trying to put on Daddy's shoes.

This is some new game he invented that whenever the dogs stand up he dives underneath them. Judging from Luna's face, I don't think the dogs love this game as much as he does.

New-to-Us toddler bed that Max enjoys sitting on and pretending to sleep on.

Who doesn't enjoy reading naked with their feet up?
