A few photos from our trip so far.
The weekend in New Hampshire - visiting the New Boston town square's scarecrow display and farmer's market with Lisa and Dan and Grammie...

Len and Eliane Rothman, my brother-in-law Dan's parents, joined us Saturday for lunch. What a treat! (so did my sister Laura and her husband, "New Paul", but somehow they escaped the camera!)

Cousin Emily comes from NYC and gets her hair done by Estelle

Joanie came from VT Saturday and spent the night. We drove up to Glover with her on Sunday. We stopped for a picnic lunch in Bradford, VT, and a beautiful rest area on the site of the farm on the man who invented the globe!


We arrived to a wonderful greeting at Wes' house (mom's old house) with his family and sister Martha and Chris, who came with a great meal, on the heels of all the amazing meals we had over the weekend courtesy of Lisa! (who also escaped photos!)
We all enjoyed the beautiful afternoon and walked in the lovely fallen leaves by the old stone wall

Joan and Heather

Estelle and her escorts

Later after dinner, Thomas relaxes with all the kids with a little cartoon

Heather and Estelle enjoy their bath together each night

Tuesday we went to visit my dad's sister Aunt Elaine and Uncle Bernard in West Glover. Estelle enjoyed playing with them


Today, Wednesday, we awoke to SNOW! Can you believe it? Happy birthday to Miranda Sullivan, aren't you glad you aren't in Vermont for your birthday? If you were, you'd be under snow!
We got right out there at 9 a.m. and had a blast! It was sticky snow too.



This of course meant hot chocolate upon returning inside.

Stayed tune for more fun here on the American side of the Atlantic!

Yes, it looks like everyone is enjoying themselves. No snow here, but colder today.

Your trip just looks perfect so far. You got much more snow in Glover...ours didn't even stick to the ground. I can't believe the kids got to go sliding...!
Two things: First:
I love the picture of Estelle in the tree, and second:
Does she always wear a hard hat in the bathtub, or only when she's bathing with Heather?

Merci pour les photos et bonjour à la famille ALEXANDER. C'est bien d'avoir Halloween sous la neige !! Les enfants et les plus grands doivent en profiter (Waine te Thomas assis dans la neige...). Vous aimez les contrastes

Looks like a fabulous trip so far!!! I had no idea that Wes bought Martha's house - how fantastic is that? Give me a call while you're in the states!

Love,
