Trick or Treat

Jesse loved the Halloween festivities! But the only candy he wanted was suckers. When we walked up to a door and they held out a bowl of candy without suckers, he'd just stand there and look into the bowl, scanning for anything resembling a sucker. Luckily there were well behaved children piled up behind him, all waiting patiently while Buster figured out what he'd do if he couldn't get his first pick. Here are the pictures...

Weekend with the Lowe's

We have a matchmaker on our hands. Mama Lowe has passed the torch to none other than Lily Lowe. And her first match? Jesse and C.C. Little does she know that we are ALL in love with eachother.

Games...




Laughter...





Romantic Dinners...






Kisses...



And even a few tears...

Weekend Escape to D.C.

Door County. Laid back and gorgeous. This is our first Malin Chic's weekend with babies, and it was perfect. Other than the cold weather, we all had so much fun. Hanging out, eating, laughing, and relaxing with the kidos.

The farm.



The restaurant where a train delivered our food.



Reading bedtime stories with G.G.

Happy Second Birthday Reese!

A miracle. As are all children. But we are especially lucky to have this one still with us. She overcame more obstacles than most will face in a lifetime. And here she is. Positive, kind, gentle and sweet. Happy 2nd Birthday Reese!

A visit from the Arizona and Ohio Munsons!

We had such a great visit with the Munson's! A week filled with day trips and cookouts, family and friends. I shed a few tears as the last of the Munson's departed. Take a look at the pictures and you will see why...

He Walks!
