Trick or Treat

Here's a trick, when you realize you didn't write a blog post the entire month of October, put all your randomness in one place!  
D earned his 100 mile club shirt

N enjoying yet another play date with her bestie

 and her new favorite pajamas
 bowling with Grandma on a Saturday afternoon so that Daddy could work on his paper for his master's degree in peace

 Marshmallow's homemade costume
We had N's best friends and their families over for a taco bar dinner and decorating Halloween cookies.  It was such a blast to see the boys running around and to have K.W. read the girls a story.
After two days of saws, jack hammers, concrete (a dozen men working) our sidewalk was repaired by the city.

pumpkin carving!



Special story time at the library with friend R.

Ward Trunk or Treat picture taken by Grandma Karyl.  She was a huge help in getting all the children situated in their costumes while I ran with K to Target to buy the purple lipstick I had promised her and forgotten to purchase earlier in the day.  Hubby & I were vampires, M was a parakeet, N was a flamingo, D was Black Panther and K was Maleficent.  Didn't my mom do a great job making her staff?!?  Thanks, Mom!
School parade
K's class party.  I am a room mom for the first time and the party was so fun and easy to plan.  I have great support from the other moms and the teacher that made it so much better and so enjoyable.
Trick or treating around the neighborhood


K set off with friends -- she is growing up so fast -- and got so much candy!

Happy Halloween, everyone!!!

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
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

By Sarah
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!

By Sarah
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. (:
