Halloween

We carved alone this year, as the Fulco were out of town.  It was a beautiful day and Bea set right to work on the idea she had sketched:



Here's "Flying Ghost Pumpkin with the Souls of other Pumpkins"


Bea chose the costume of Poison Ivy, from DC Comics.  She was way cuter than I thought an itchy, blistery rash should ever look, and had lots of fun at the school Halloween dance party.



Happy Halloween!!!!!

Boston and The Dam

One of Anthony's best childhood friends came up with his family for the weekend, and we showed them Newport, Boston, and the local sites.  It was a beautiful Saturday morning for a hike, so we headed into the woods at the nearby dam:







Bea took this beautiful picture of an eagle (?) flying over the water:



In Boston, it was another beauty of a day.  Bea was more interested in the book Daddy got her at Quincy market than a silly old (very old) cemetery on the Freedom Trail:

What Bea's into these days....

1.  Being upside down.  She started an interest in perfecting cartwheels and handstands this summer, but since Gymnastics class started a few weeks ago, a lot of Bea's day is upside down!



2. The flute. Bea is trying flute this year in the school band.  She's had one lesson so far and is eager to get a real sound out of this beautiful instrument!

3.  Saturday morning Gymnastics class.  It's hard to get good pictures from the upstairs window, but here are a few:


4.  Multicolored hair attachments.  In preparation for her Halloween costume, we ordered a set of hair add-ons, since she needed green to be Poison Ivy.  She's having fun each day adding a bit of color to her hair, like her buddy Rachel and cousins Linden and Raina.  Here she is before we headed to a Lao festival with our neighbors this weekend: (thanks auntie Louise for the cheetah trim dress....)


5.  Singing in the choir.  Our church recently started an informal choir and Bea loves heading up to the choir loft and singing.  Yesterday she belted out "Taste and See" very close to the mic and several congregants apparently thought it was the sweetest moment of the mass.  While hitting notes on key may be a lofty goal for now, she certainly sings with joy and passion!
