Halloween!

Today is Halloween! So happy Trick-or-Treating everyone! Here are our photos of the completed Jack-o-lanterns, one for each of us. We've been bundling up with the cold weather. Here's Leah, she's doing very well, and we're so happy to have her!

Harvest Time

It's Harvest time and and we've been busy, busy, busy making use of the fruits and vegetables that have been shared with us by our wonderful neighbors who

have much greener thumbs than I do! These carrots met a tasty end in my chicken noodle soup, and we've got apples coming out of our ears which have been devoured with caramel and also as applesauce. We carved our pumpkins last Sunday, Set's is the cyclops... I've also been busy whipping up Halloween costumes. I made this pink fuzzy suit for Angelinne to go with her bunny ears. I think she looks quite cute! Too bad the face paint only lasted 5 minutes... She looks so cute when she hops though!

Dressing up...

..is fun to do! Here is Leah all dressed up like a princess. She fell asleep and then Angie put the ring on her finger and the other dress-up stuff was strew around the room, so I had a little fun. Mom had suggested putting cucumbers on her eyes, foil in her hair and painting her nails, but this is as far as we have gotten so far. Girls are so much fun!!!

What's New

This is what's new with us. My mother-in-law is gone back to Mexico, she left at the beginning of this week. And for the past week and half we've had Bella,the chihuahua. So, yes, I've had my hands full, and yes.....I am crazy!

Leah's blessing

Baby Leah's blessing was very nice and it was wonderful to see and have over so many friends and family! Leah wore the dress that mom made for Laurel when she was born,Angelinne also wore this dress.

First Day of School!

This is Laurel on her first Day of Kindergarten. She was so confident and didn't even act like it was a big deal

! That helped me deal with the change, and besides, I'm too busy now to be worried about it. I love my little Kindergartener! Laurel is so smart and we like it when the homework is easy. We enjoy walking to/from school most days.

Soccer

Laurel started soccer earlier this month, her team name is the Butterfiles. Aimee is on the team as well as some other friends in the neighborhood.
