Halloween Preview

Annalise & Clara were invited by their cousin Madison to a Halloween parade in Rutherford, NJ today. It was a chance to try on their new costumes and see what everyone else was wearing. We had a good time and Clara won a trophy for "Best Baby Penguin"....she was happy to share with her win with her cousin & sister though!

The Family!


The "Best Baby Penguin Award!"



Madison was Nemo...but much cuter!

Our own Princess Leia...do you think she looks like the original?

Happy 2 Month Birthday to Clara

Our "little" cutie pie...2 months old yesterday!

The Best of New Jersey

Michelle & I never thought we'd live in New Jersey, but here we are. The best thing about New Jersey, not one of the best, but The Best, is having Pop-pop and Nana Rindos around (as well as Aunt Ree-Ree and Uncle John!). Last night, Annalise spent the night at her grandparents and although she woke Nana up at 5:30, had a good time. Here are some pics of them with the girls.


Nana, Ree-Ree & AGS in the pool!

"No Pop-Pop" this is how you do it!

A proud Pop-Pop

Sisters

So here are a couple of pictures of the girls at 1 month. Can you tell they're sisters?

Grandma & Grandpa Swanson Come to visit

Grandma & Grandpa Swanson recently came from Minnesota to come and visit for a week. Annalise really enjoyed getting to play with another "Pop-Pop" and "Nana." We were able to go pumpkin picking, visit a farm and go on a couple of walks, but otherwise enjoyed quiet time (or not so quiet time) at home. Here are a few pictures!

Pop-pop "resting his eyes". A very happy new baby!

Who's walking who at the farm?

The First Post

Welcome to our little internet page. Dad will hopefully learn how to add pictures, videos and slideshows so that all our family and friends can follow the Swanson's going-ons (at least of the two smallest ones!). Enjoy!
