Halloween Caprade!

If you ever wondered what the tooth fairy looked like, here she is! Ta-dah!

Ready for her school party, Lily had just a second for this photo. She was so EXCITED about the party, should could hardly stand still. Her buddies ran from room to room eating, dancing, playing games, playing drums. She never looked back to see if I was around. Not even once.

Hmmmm.

She is really in to Halloween this year. Her class will come to the hospital on Friday to trick-or-treat. I have been waiting for this since she started school. This year, I get to wait for the parade of kids to stop in our hall. I know she will get a kick out of bringing her friends to "mommy's office". Every morning this week she has asked if it's Friday yet.....because on Friday she will be part of the Halloween "caprade"! That's how she says parade. And, I am not correcting her because it is about the cutest thing I've ever heard!

Happy Halloween!

Cute As Pumpkins

What is not to love about this time of year? It's the best. And this is why!

Who Needs Vacay Photos?

Well, I would love to share some with you.

But they are stuck in a camera with no battery power, and no charger to be found. One day, we'll find that charger stuck in between two couch cushions, but for now we will go with these blurry snapshots taken over the weekend.

Lily looking adorable in a dress and tights (we had 20 minutes of cool weather that morning). And Ben chugging his bottle with buddy Liam. These boys are too cute for words!

I'll save vacation stories for when I do get those photos of the camera.

For now, I can tell you the kids are growing like crazy. Buck and I talk about them all the time. They just amaze us.

Lily is loving school. She can spell. She adds and subtracts food from her dinner plate. She has a pet gecko in her classroom. And we talk about poop a lot.

Ben is holding his bottle. He is so close to crawling. I think he says mom (it sounds like this: muuuuuuuuum. muuuuuuuuuuuum. And usually has something to do with wanting to be held). He is 24 pounds and I love every drop of him! His first tooth came in last week and he looks like a jack-o-lantern when he smiles. It is down-right precious!

Fall is here. And, we have a lot to look forward to - and so much to be thankful for! Thanks for loving our family. More photos to come soon, I hope!
