Quinn is about to be a Big Sister!

Wearing mommy's hat...(a shoe in hand, of course...she is obsessed with shoes).

Helping daddy eat breakfast.

Wearing her gorgeous leopard pants, Thank you Auntie Katie!

38 weeks and counting...

Couldn't resist this shot...Quinn sleeping:)

Getting ready for her friend Marina's princess party

Q got her face painted...

Mommy got her belly painted...(it is hard to see, but Quinn's hand print is below Reid's name)

We went to the Fall Festival, Q got to touch a sheep.

She wasn't too fond of the Llama.

Betsy and Rob's visit, Finger Painting and our visit to Avalon, NJ

Auntie Betsy and Uncle Rob came to visit:)  Quinn got some quality story time in.

Quinn and her friend Chloe and their first time finger painting!

Smocks are on...(hilarious how big out t-shirts look on the girls) 

Quinn loving picture-time.

Before our little Van Goghs got started.

Quinn thought the paint was flavored frosting...

The look of disappointment when she realized the "frosting" wasn't sweet. 

Q and mom...(oh, and "the belly bump")

The work is complete (Quinn's are the 2 on the left, Chloe's are the 2 on the right)

Painting sure did work up an appetite.

We spent the weekend in Avalon, NJ with our friend's Bill and Katie.  We went out for a morning walk...as you can see, the Fall weather has arrived.

The beach...

Quinn loved the beach...

Just a little wind...

Hurricane, Zoo, Etc of 2011

Q sporting the new dress she got from Mimi and Grandpa Pete.

Dad and Q watching the rain during "Hurricane" Irene

We had to get creative during the hurricane...keeping Q cooped up inside=LOOONNNGGG day!

The aftermath...

We took Q to the National Zoo in Washington DC last weekend.  

Mimi and Grandpa Pete came along...we had a good time.

Somebody was getting sleepy...

Somebody was avoiding eye contact.

The chimps on the cable wire above our heads...

I was praying they wouldn't jump down and eat us for a snack!

Eye contact achieved!

Check out that "bump"!

How fun...I can wear daddy's shoes.

Well....

Maybe it is not so fun!!!

Quinn is 16 months old!

Relaxin in the tub

Post-Bath: Catching up on some bicycling articles while her "servants" get her ready for bed:) 

Crazy post-nap do...

Getting ready to go on Joe's sailboat along with Katie/Ryan Osgood

Steering the way...

Before the heat set in and before mommy and daddy turned green from the rolling waves...

needless to say, we turned around early!
