Happy Halloween!

Matthew wore his Nemo costume for the second year in a row and Grace was Piglet. We went trick-or-treating downtown, then headed to a party our friends put on at their hotel for the community. There was pizza, a bounce house, music and dancing, ball toss, and Matthew' favorite, fishing for candy!! Grace had her first taste of cheese pizza tonight, since that's all that we had for her dinner. She loved it!

Enjoying the sunny fall weather!

Here is a glimpse into daily life with Matthew and Grace. They are best pals and make each other laugh so much. They are so fun to be with, but very exhausting too. They definitely have their Dad's energy! Matthew goes to school (sool, as he calls it), one day a week, and loves to hang his jacket up right next to the teacher's and get right to work with the paints, trucks, whatever. The teacher tells me he is a "very happy boy". He has no problem leaving me, either. As soon as we pull into the parking lot, he says, "Bye, see ya Mom! See ya Geesie!"

Matthew hasn't worked in awhile, and we keep checking the monthly One Day Sale mailers to see his replacement....we're working on some good smiles and snapshots to get him camera-ready again. I guess it might help if I wiped the spaghetti sauce off his face...shoot! So much for these being sent to his agent. We think he's adorable, though!!

Grace is a climber!! She looks so sweet and calm, but don't be fooled, she's just as wild as her brother! She's almost walking and having so much fun practicing.

This one is for Auntie Brynn, who used to enjoy watching the "col-ohs" as a toddler.
