Happy Halloween!

 Here's our most liked picture ever on Facebook.  Even beat out the pictures of us announcing a child was born.  The force is strong with the Star Wars fandom!  We had a great time at the ward party, our neighbor's party, and trick or treating.  I do have to include the below picture as well.  M only agreed to be Princess Leia for the ward party if she could be Doc McStuffins for trick or treating and at school.  I was willing to make that deal to have everyone have the same theme for one night!  Since she is afternoon kindergarten, her class missed the all school parade in the gym but got to parade into individual classrooms in the school instead.  I thought it was great because I didn't get good pictures in the gym because it was so crowded.  The best part was when we entered D's classroom and he gave her a big hug as she came near his desk.  My Irish twins are so sweet together.  K, D, and M have informed me I have to sign N up for preschool at their school so they can have a chance to see her too.  Can't fight that argument even though I only sent them to at-home preschools.  I will sign N up for their school and hope we don't get in and then send her to Miss Stacey's instead.  Ba ha ha.

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
