Swans and cygnets

Hi Sibyl and Henry,

Uncle Norman and I filmed the swans with their cygnets on the lake in Connecticut last week. Here's what we found: the cygnets now have big wings. They will soon fly away south for warmer weather. But they are staying close to their parents, the mommy and daddy swans. Watch how they go back in the water from their favorite rock on the lake's shore.

Love,

Diza in Manhattan

Hi Sibyl and Henry,

On Monday last week, Uncle Norman and I visited Diza and Aunt Amy in Manhattan. We went down Broadway to eat lunch together. On the way, Diza collected a bouquet of leaves. It is fall here, so there are lots of leaves that have fallen from the trees, even in the city. Have a look.

Pumpkin carving

Today is Halloween, and Grandpa Charlie and I decided to carve our pumpkins. Have a look.

I hope you enjoy going trick or treating tonight.

Love,

Digging

Hi Sibyl and Henry,

There has been a lot of digging on our street, right in front of our house in Maryland. Here's a video of the work. A big digger is digging down into the street and loading the dirt into a dump truck. Have a look:

Swimming in Delaware

Hi Sibyl and Henry,
Grandpa Charlie and I went to the beach in Delaware. It was open, even in October. We went swimming! And we saw the wind turbine from the water. Have a look:
