We have had a good month, and we are enjoying the last of the warm weather. Halloween was a balmy 75 here! Caroline had fun trick-or-treating, having matured enough to understand that this is a day of "CANDY!!!!". Erin is doing well, although she has had her share of illnesses, between many ear infections and conjunctivitis. We had tubes put in her ears, and we are happy to report that Erin is already a much happier girl! The first two items below are videos of Caroline, so if you are reading the entry in e-mail, make sure to go into the actual blog to watch.
Puff the Magic Dragon
Obama's Tower
The girls in their matching outfits (note Erin's red, puffy eyes)
Dave's friend Molly came to visit, and Clio found a new lap.
Erin is very mischievous--here is her evil glance before taking off up the stairs.
Off to school all dressed up.
Here's our kitty prowling in the leaves.
Erin enjoyed the leaves as well.
We went over to Claire and Nathan's house to carve our pumpkin, and they all got in the leaf pile!
Here's our monkey taking a dip in the candy bowl.
Just for comparison, here is the original monkey 2 years ago...
Caroline just got back from trick-or-treating with Mommy. It was so warm that the main part of the kitty costume came off the minute we got home!
Caroline is already digging in to her loot.
