He's back
Spenny the cat showed up about 5 lbs lighter on our back deck yesterday afternoon after an 11 night walkabout. Henry and Holden call him a kitty hobo. The first frost was forecasted for last night, so we thought he was a goner. We can't be more pleased. Bo crawled right over to him and he loved her attention Then he snuggled up surrounded by an electric heating pad after feasting on cat kibble, tunafish, whole milk yogurt and leftover pot roast....

Autumn
Well, we have enjoyed a 10 day stretch of outstanding New England fall weather. It is supposed to get cold this weekend, but it has been so nice. We had a great visit a couple weekends ago with Aunt Kathy in Portland. We took the baby to Gritty McDuffs for lunch and she got to sit in this cool highchair the hooked right onto the long wooden tables. Holden is all better from his bout with Lyme. Thanks you all for your nice notes about his progress. He had to take 6 bottles of bubblegum ammoxicillin, and he actually looked forward to pouring his one does twice daily. While I was poking around the fridge this morning I found the 6th bottle, oops, - lost in the yougurt area. it was supposed to be taken as a continuation from the 5th bottle which he completed last Thursday. Oops!
We hosted a wonderful Cider party on the 4th, we had 46 kids here, and 41 adults. It was a hit. We are still drowning in cider. If anyone wants some come over before it turns.
Last Wednesday I took the kids to the Topsfield Fair. It was really fun, but holy pricey! Bo enjoyed her first taste of fried dough. She was taking in the whole lights and sounds thing and was really happy in her stroller. I brought the backpack thinking she'd be happier there, but she loved the stroller. Unfortunately when we got back on Wednesday night we realized that our indoor cat Spencer had gotten out and we haven't seen him since. We have searched the woods, neighbors yards, put up posters and flyers, called animal control, the police, the DPW, etc. I have been sick about it. We are still holding out a little hope. It has been much harder on me than on the boys.
Happier thoughts...Henry had no school on Friday and we took Bo to Cider Hill Farm and picked apples, ate cider donuts, played in the pumpkin patch and met up with three other adoptive families. Seh also made her first trip to Maine over the long Columbus day weekend. We went to the Terry family cider press and then to a great big dinner party that night with them.
I sent Bo's 2nd update off to LTC yesterday, with more photos. She is doing so well overall, happy and content. She is pulling ot stand way more, and we have had to childproof accordingly!
