Tom & Karla's Halloween Party

Our friends/neighbor's across the street had their 2nd annual Halloween Party Saturday night. It was a lot of fun. Kudos to the decorating squad. It was spooky in the burbs last night. Props to Granny for babysitting for all the partygoers!!

We had the walking dead, a spider witch, Cleopatra, a Gladiator, Wedding Crashers, Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber! Many more, just no room to post the pictures.

Oktoberfest at Big Canoe

Well this year's Oktoberfest in Big Canoe was the biggest I have seen yet. Dad you did a great job!! It was lots of fun. Prost!

Burt's Pumpkin Farm

Isabella's class went to Burt's yesterday. They had a great time. Isabella got to spend the day with her Granny, pick pumpkins and go on a hay ride. The class made special shirts for all of the kids to wear. Here they are in their group shot. Isabella is the top row last one on the right. They are all so cute!!

The Many Years of "Dress Up Evan" Have Started...

Isabella loves her baby brother and she has already started the Big Sister, Little Brother rite of passage. I am sure she will dress him up many more times in the years to come. Oh, and let's not forget the dog (CJ). He loves to get in the mix as well.

If you want, you can follow this blog. Just click to the left of this posting "Friends of this Blog" to link. No obligation, just a fun way to keep up.

My Little Artist

Isabella drew a picture of her family at the aquarium - Mommy, Daddy, Isabella and Evan. She is so good, if I do say so myself!
Love,
Her Proud Mommy

Miss you Les!!

There is so much I wish to say
I think about you every day
I miss your laugh
I miss your smile
Neither lost nor forgotten...
I imagine them often

Evan's Two Month Doctor's Appt

Evan had his two month appointment today. The doctor said he looks great. He has grown since his last visit at 1 month. He is smiling and cooing now all of the time and the doctor said he meets all of his milestones for his age.

He now weighs: 13 3/4 pounds (75%- 90%)
His length is: 23 5/8 inches (75%)
His head is: 39.9 cm (75%)

He also had three shots today. Can you say, "Ouch"? My Little Guy cried so hard. He is not much of a crier, but today he cried louder than I have heard him cry. Of course, he was just fine by the time we left the doctor's office, but was a little fussy in the evening.

Team Spirit

Isabella had soccer pictures today. The girls all had individual pictures taken and then they also took a group shot. Mommy, of course, took some candid pictures of her own. The girls all seem to really like each other as you can see by the picture. After pictures, Isabella had a game and she scored 3 goals! You should have seen her go. She also was playing some great defense. She really likes soccer, it must run in her blood. It is really cute to watch the kids at her age play. On the sidelines, they are all playing ring around the rosie and holding hands. Too cute! Mike is still not feeling completely better (still has a cough). Hopefully, he is on the tailend of this cold. It has been three weeks. Evan is doing well. He is enjoying the fresh air and watching his big sis play soccer. He just gets cuter with each passing day. Mommy is well, too. We have Octoberfest next weekend Oct 11 at Big Canoe. If you have not been there before, it is a lot of fun. My Dad is the chairman of the event and he has done a great job over the past couple of years making it more fun for families, etc. It is worth the drive up there. Tootles for now.
