Dirt is funny...

Distinguished Pirates

By the time we got to our friends' Halloween party Liam had one side of a moustache left while Augie's became increasingly smeared. It just made it more believable that they had perhaps weathered some bleak times at sea.

Pumpkin Patch Escapade

We traveled just outside Bakersfield towards the lovely town of Taft to the Banducci Family Pumkin Farm. Liam ran at full-speed in every direction doing a couple of face plants along the way. Augie was recovering from being under the weather and wasn't quite as gung-ho. Nevertheless a good time was had by all. ;)

Jam-Master Lem

Liam now wears glasses to hopefully help him focus without his eyes crossing. It's hard to tell how much better he can see with them since he can't exactly tell us but we're taking the fact that he loves to wear them as a good sign!


*This morning's outfit was inspired by Daddy and Run DMC.

More Cousin Fun at Our House!

Fresno Cousin Reunion

We made it to Fresno for one of the Clearys' famously large reunions - this one was in honor of Uncle Brian and his wife Yvonne returning home after serving two years in the Peace Corps in Jamaica. Despite the fact that Liam had a fever the entire weekend we had tons of fun seeing everyone. We especially loved staying with Uncle Adam, Aunt Karen and Cousin Addy, taking walks in their cool neighborhood in Old Fig Garden, walking to Whole Foods for coffee, playing in the backyard, catering toddler meals, etc.

Only a fraction of the extended Cleary Clan...
