#7 on the "List of Things You May Not Know About Laura and Dave" is:

Every October we attend the Dachshund Parade in Washington Square Park, even though we don't own a dachshund.



Because when you think about it, few things in life are better than weiner dogs in costumes.



Eleanor had a great time, making friends and influencing people as usual.





The latest news from home: Eleanor has discovered standing.







And Peekaboo.



This month we travelled to Woodstock to hang out and walk in the woods.









Looks comfortable, huh?



Breakfast comes early around here.





Behold!



Laura practices her survival skills. If you ever get lost near your backyard fire pit, Laura is your gal.



In preparation for the cold weather, Eleanor enjoyed Hat Day.



It's starting to get a little crispy.





Cuteness gets around.





And of course...Halloween.

Eleanor starts a one-girl pumpkin patch in Prospect Park.







Yummy.





Party time.





Eleanor sends a clear message to ladybugs everywhere: "Don't mess with The Pumpkin."





See you in November!

As summer came to a close, Eleanor enjoyed a visit to the annual Bluegrass Jamboree in Park Slope.





We travelled to New Rochelle to visit Kathy, Mark, Hizekiel, baby Ann, Nana and Grandpa.











And we got a visit from the Dalzells.





Here are the midwives that brought me into the world: Abby and Stacey, at the Clementine Midwifery Picnic.





We recently discovered the beautiful and historic Green-Wood Cemetery near our apartment. You can find us there on most sunny Sundays.





From the highest point in Brooklyn, Minerva waves to Lady Liberty. Either that, or she's waving to the luxury condos going for $500 a square foot.





Eleanor says "hi" to Leonard Bernstein.



In honor of the Plaque Man (Grandpa), Laura reads the scintillating details of Governor DeWitt Clinton's life. Dave nods politely and mutters,"that's interesting, hon."





Now that Eleanor has discovered the swings, a day doesn't go by without a visit.





Eleanor enjoys a little light reading in her spare time.



Stay tuned for more pictures soon!
