Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from our family to yours! The kids have enjoyed an extended Halloween season so far. Last Saturday, we went to a local church's Trunk or Treat. This is the church where Cara attends Mother's Day Out, so Cara got to see her teacher and a few classmates there. Her school also had a costume day on Tuesday, and my local playgroup had a Halloween party on Sunday afternoon that all of our family went to and enjoyed. That makes for lots of opportunities to wear their costumes and be photographed! The only problem now is all of this candy in the house that the kids keep begging to eat. And who am I kidding - I keep wanting to eat it, too!

The next few weeks should be very busy, too. Cara and Nora's birthday party is less than 3 weeks away, and they are already very excited and asking about it often. It's hard to believe they are almost 4! They are so grown up and opinionated already. They are very into cars, trains, dinosaurs, and Squinkies. Nora is a huge book lover, and Cara loves arts and crafts. They also love playing with their MegaBloks and Duplos, so maybe they're ready for a real Lego set or two. We'll see! :)

Now on to the part you all care about anyways - pictures!

Picture Dump

We're all going a little stir crazy here. Cara and Fiona were sick last week, but everyone was healthy all weekend, so I thought we were safe. Wrong! Nora is home sick from school today, and if she has the same virus the other girls had, I'm sure we'll be home sick the next few days. Boo!

The weather has been so nice lately, so we have been enjoying it and taking lots of walks and tricycle rides. There are some pictures of our tricycle ride as well as some other random recent ones below.

A few weekends ago was the Autism Speaks walk in Austin. It went so well, and we are so blessed to have so much support from our friends and family. There's a great team picture below!
