This tooth has been "loose" for over a year, today after school she let me pull it. It is a very exciting day at the Tocco house, St. Nick and the Tooth Fairy coming on the same night!

November
The month began with a sense of hope, http://www.mtv.com/videos/william/316448/its-a-new-day.jhtml
The kids loved their cookies!
We had our last Saturday Swim in November, the pictures are not working well from this so...
The kids loved their lessons and they all passed on to the next level, but Bryan and I will not miss the 3 kid switch on Saturday mornings!
Joseph kicking and splashing
Eileen after getting her good report
We had insulation blown in the attic this year, but to save some money Bryan installed the vents himself, not a fun job!
The week of Thanksgiving began with Amelia's baptism. She was baptised at St. Thomas the day before Jonathan and Sigan's first anniversary!
Amelia with her proud parents and Godfathers
The kids and I stayed the whole week since they had the week off of school and we were coming back. The kids had so much fun with Nana and Papa and the rest of the family. The poor boys (now men) spent most of the week up on Nana and Papa's roof fixing a leak! The girls had a wonderful afternoon with Rachel at their American Girl party, thanks Rachel!
Olivia and Papa
Eileen, Olivia and Papa-I wonder what was upsetting Olivia?
We are off to a great start in December lots of snow to make it really feel like winter, lots of projects, cooking and work to be done but we are looking forward to all of it. No pictures yet as we have not yet selected our Christmas picture!

Bryan and his Goddaughter, Amelia is wearing the gown my grandmother wore, my mom wore, I wore and my daughters wore.

OK, this is my third attempt at this entry (3rd times a charm-right?)
I know that there is a lot to update so I will try to be brief.
October
We began the month helping the village prepare for Halloween. Every year "downtown" hosts a business trick-or-treat followed by a Spooky Walk through Lime Kiln Park. The art stdio hosted an event inviting the kids in the village to come and paint a ghost that would then be hung in the woods for the walk. All three kids had a blast painting their ghost and then getting their first Halloween treat.
Olivia and Eileen working on their ghosts
Bryan helping Joseph with his ghost
Next we celebrated Nathan's 6th birthday, the kids always have the most fun at Auntie Krista's house!
Joseph trying out Nathan's new toy, he looked so funny in it!
Last year we spent so much time collecting beautiful leaves for Jonathan and Sigan's wedding, this year we kept them for ourselves! Olivia had so much fun making her design...
Joseph on the other hand just could not believe that I gave him scissors and spent the entire time just cutting the leaves!
Mid-month we went to Madison for Amelia's meet and greet, this was also the weekend Bryan was asked to be her Godfather.
Amelia and Sigan
Jonathan and Amelia
Eileen and Joseph playing holey (is that how you spell it Sigan?) board.
A rare family picture taken post-party.
With autumn comes raking (not my favorite job), Bryan and Olivia cleaned up the leaves while I took pictures!
she took a spill while Bryan had the blower going!
As a special treat Bryan pulled the girls out of school (OK, only Eileen since it was in the afternoon and Olivia only goes in the morning) and took them to High School Musical 3! They were so excited! I wish I had been there because apparently after this picture was taken they managed to knock down the entire display! Sorry no pictures of that.
We are finally approaching Halloween!
The day before Halloween we went trick-or-treating downtown, this year Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Krista, Brenden, and Nathan went with us, Uncle Eric and Missy joined up with us a bit later.
Joseph tried so hard to keep up with the big kids!
Eileen and Olivia
Olivia and Joseph taking a ride in the wagon. We had so much fun, it was great to have so much help too! Eric thanks for the shoulder ride for Eileen when she got too scared during the walk in the woods!
Halloween night when Bryan came home from work he took the kids out, Joseph did the circle we live on then came home to hand out candy with Mom. The girls went a bit further.
Eating dinner (macaroni and blood!) while we wait for Daddy to get home!
Captain Hook
Our Cowgirl Olivia
and Eileen the witch, she would not smile in any of the pictures since "Witches don't smile."
Our gang, Happy Halloween!
