October and Halloween Fun

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.

Erin's First Word


Like Caroline and Heather before her, Erin's first word is kitty. For a while she has been making a noise when she sees the cats and now we finally are going to count is as a real word. Judge for yourself.

At the AZ company picnic they had pony rides

Erin puts everything in her mouth. Cat food, hairballs, shoelaces, and even toy mice

We went to Atlanta to see Grandma Lu, and Caroline got her fix of Grandma stories

Erin was baptized at Sandy Springs Methodist Church

Grandpa and Nana came up from Florida for the occasion

and were joined by Uncle Joe, Aunt Tracy and Jenna

We also got to watch one of Jenna's soccer games

Both Erin...


...and Caroline were snuggle-able during the game


Finally, here's a sad video of Erin during her latest ear infection
