It's Snow Time!!!

Mishka's all stylish in her pink snowpants and hair in a ponytail!

And here she's dredging a path in the backyard through the snow (and to her swing!)

But no snow day would be complete without Mishka being pulled around in her sled by Daddy!

More snow coming this week, meaning more pics in the snow! :)

What's up buttercup!

It's almost a month and a holiday later than when it happened, but I figured I'd post some Halloween pics anyways...

Yup, Mishka was a sunflower! Here she's munching on some candy...she REALLY likes candy...

Notice the look of excitement here on Mishka's face...this is 5 minutes after eating candy, before we let her run it off...

and this is her running it off! Must say, it was really funny watching a little sunflower run up and down the sidewalk :)

And one more cute pic too :)

Walk THIS way!!!

Okay, easily one of the funniest things we've discovered this past week is that Mishka is a dancing maniac! To try to wear her out one night this past week b/c it was raining outside, Daddy came up with the idea to just dance around for a little bit...and this is what we got!!!

Of note, she asks to dance now every day, demands that both Mommy and Daddy dance with her, and she totally digs the late 80's early 90's pop-y dance music. Oh, and Mishka dancing with Meechy and Sasha...CLASSIC. :)

October pics

Mishka at the beach doing what she loves most...playing in the sand!

Here's Mish, Mommy and Ollie chillin' by the ocean.

Mishka swinging with Daddy in the back yard!

Here's Mishka playing ball with Uncle Jon in their back yard!

Mommy's birthday!

Mishka's helping Mommy open all her presents while Babi and Babu watch.

"I'm ready for my close up...or not!"

Nature walk with Mishka riding on Babu's shoulders.

Poor Temor was sleeping on the couch, head down, and Mishka came right over and nuzzled her face into Temor's...yeah, Mishka likes the puppies ;)

How bout them apples...

Yup, it was apple picking time and Mishka invited along Suzie and Shawn AND Tracey and Ollie who made the trip up to surprise Tasha for her 30th! These pics, while pretty cool, don't do justice to how cute both Ollie and Mishka were walking around the orchard :)

"Look Daddy, I got one!"

Mishka & Ollie ate their fair share of apples off the trees...diaper duty that night was awful....

Uncle Shawn helping Mishka navigate with Suzie bringing them to the next apple filled tree.

Here's Tracey, Ollie, Tasha, & Mishka all enjoying a hay ride through the orchard.

Mishka found the pumpkins too...

Mother and daughter surveying the landscape...this is my favorite!

Suzie and Shawn found the hammock, to which Mishka quickly said "UP PEEEEZZZE!" and she got to ride too ;)

Go Pats!

Get your seat, the game is starting!!!!!

Daddy and Mishka have their gear on ready to cheer on another Tom Brady touchdown pass!!!!

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!! :)

Bathtime with Grampa!

Tubby time!!!

Grampa Pete is keeping an eye on Mishka who remembered to brush her teeth!

And of course during tubby time, there's always toys to play with and water to be splashed :)

Welcome Anastasia Cassidy!

Mishka's got a new cousin!!!!

Anastasia Cassidy Afanasenko was born last Thursday 9/20 in the afternoon, here are a few pics of our newest family member!!

Hello sleepy!

Here's the happy (& exhausted!) Papa introducing Meechy & Sasha to their new sister!

I've stolen a pic or two...

Yup, it's Mishka with a tutu on her head...borrowed the pic from a friend of Tasha's...had to, this is just too funny! :)

QUESTION: what are the kids doing in these pics...?

Answer: yup, they've all zoned out watching a movie in the back seat of the car, going from screaming and cranky to copacetic (sp??) in no time...ah, technology...hehe

coming soon: apple picking pics!
