Bittersweet chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, if you must know. Thanks to Grandma Pam for the spooky sprinkles.

Just waiting for them to cool…




Eric had to bring in his deck for the winter and we took advantage of the kayak being out. Andrew went first and got the hang of it, then came back in for me to take my turn. I was worried about tipping over into the cold water but once I got in I felt pretty stable. Ingrid didn’t get to try it because it’s just a one-person kayak. The lakes are so beautiful here in the Adirondack region that we’re tempted to buy our own kayak.


I love it when Ingrid wakes up with an idea. She gets so excited about it. I’m like that too so it’s definitely not surprising. It’s actually frosty here and the grass is wet, but Ingrid didn’t let that stop her.
That’s Maggie trying to join the picnic. Maggie is the dog that Ingrid loves most. She loves to be with people, even prefering it over food! Maggie loves to give kisses. She’ll lick any bit of exposed skin. Maggie and Ingrid are very attached to each other.
