Trick or Treat!

The gang: Yoda, Princess Leia, and George Lucas ;)

Last night we headed out to surprise some family and friends for Halloween!

Around 3 o'clock I started getting ready (ditched the wig...dark brown hair does not look good on me) and got Abigail dressed in her Yoda costume....what a sport!  Kevin opted out of the costume festivities, so we told people he was George Lucas  ;)

First stop: Grandma and Grandpa's!


I'm a huge fan of surprises and was eager to head over and surprise my parents.  My Mom answered the door, and upon realizing it was us, reacted in that Publisher's Clearing House type of way- perfect!

We brought over a pumpkin shaped pizza and hung out with them for a few hours.  We figured we could help pass out candy, but sadly they got no trick or treaters.

If this trend continues, we may bring Abigail to the Eastside in future years to capitalize off homes with far more candy than kids!

We intended to stop by a few other places, but decided to keep it short since Abigail was getting tired.


Bye Grandma and Grandpa!

So it was off to Dan and Anne's.  We pulled up and saw their porch lights were off (a universal sign for no trick or treaters), but too bad  :)

We got there and just missed Henry in his candy corn costume made by Grandma Janet....in true boy fashion, he'd peed all over it!

But we hung out for a bit and chatted, then headed home to get Abigail to bed.

Driving home I realized I'd left our porch lights on (a stark contrast to the Clayton abode), and since we weren't planning to hand out candy, we quickly shut down the house and retreated to our room....

A perfect excuse for movie night and family time!

Goodnight Baby Abigail

All in all, a wonderful Hallows' Eve!

Cute, she is...(in the word's of Yoda)! She is growing prettier and prettier by the day. Can't wait to see her next week and hold her! And, just think next Halloween we can celebrate with you!!!

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible.  You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are  :) This month I moved you to the nursery.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together.  As such, you now have your own room!  It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one.  Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday.  So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...
