Day to Day Stuff

Halloween has come and gone and now we are preparing for Thanksgiving, A Big Birthday, and Christmas. We are so excited for this holiday season, Henry is understanding the concept of Santa, Jesus, and turning 4!! He is already telling people he is 4, which is believable because he is so tall!! We are also excited to celebrate Bea's first Christmas!!

We have been enjoying the wonderful fall weather. It has given us the opportunity to play outside a lot this fall and take frequent trips to the park. We have new neighbors, so there are a few more children to play with - which is great for Henry, even if they are all girls!

John and I are staying busy with work and day to day stuff. The time goes by so quickly, it is hard to keep up with the little things (like blogging). Bea is awesome. She enjoys watching her brother play and tagging along to all of his activities.

Halloween was a big success, Henry was a skeleton and Bea was a strawberry. We went to a great Halloween party a week before Halloween which included dancing, spooky stories, lots of food and a hayrack ride!! Henry also had a great party at school, so he was well practiced for the big night. Since Henry does not like candy, the "Treat" part of Halloween did not appeal to him, but he enjoyed running and playing with the other children. Bea stayed at home with Nana and handed out candy, where it was warm. She enjoyed seeing all of kids come to her door.

We are about to start Henry's birthday marathon. Stay tuned for updates.
