For Mom

Anna wore the cute little Navy outfit you sent! It was a hit! Thanks for thinking of her! We miss you!

Anna already got her two bottom teeth and they seemed to come in with minimal complaining. This time is different. I can see her swollen little top gums and the white tooth pressing out almost through but not quite. She has been spontaneously bursting into tears after putting her fingers in her mouth today and I am just hoping it will make its way out soon! Here is her sad little face this morning.

Halloween Night

The boys donned their costumes one last time to make their way around the neighbor trick or treating and loading up their bags. It was a bit wet out but the rain held off just until we made it back home. phew. Anna decided to stay home and help Daddy with passing out candy.

Christian kept posing like this with his wand up, and sort of profile.

Halloween has begun

Susquehanna Ward's annual Fall Festival was last night. The kids debuted their costumes and were very excited to trunk or treat and get candy. Matt is still sick with what is most likely the seasonal flu so he couldn't attend this year. We missed him but the kids did well with just mom there.

We got some pictures before we left. This year Jack is a GI Joe guy (not a Nazi soldier, he got the wrong salute in this photo). Anna is a ballerina for her first Halloween. And Christian, who has become obsessed with all the movies, is Harry Potter. We'll have a better shot of Christian after Halloween because he wanted to wait for his wand to come in to take a better picture.

Here is Anna in her tutu. I love the satin ribbon in the back. She was going to wear these little black shoes with pink bows that looked like ballet slippers but her chubby little feet wouldn't go in. So she went with the sparkly pink sneakers instead. She is doing some fancy work on pointe in this shot.

Just had to show the ruffle butt. The onesie itself had ruffles going all the way around. Tsk tsk on the undies showing!

Here is my little Harry Potter. He made a good one. He decided he was going to go around to the cars by himself. It is really strange for me to accept that he is 8 years old and fine to be going around on his own. Jack ended up running ahead most of the time but I could still see him. Christian just checked in from time to time. He is getting older so fast!

This is Jack and his friend Jackson. Costume wise it is his enemy! Jackson is one of the GI Joe bad guy ninjas and Jack of course is the GI Joe American Hero! I guess they put their differences aside in the name of candy.

Anna got a visit from a little boy, Oliver, that was dressed up as a Wild Thing from the book Where the Wild Things Are. She was a little scared at first but warmed up to him eventually. Love this face though.

These are most of the new babies in our ward with their mommies. We have Libby the pumpkin with mommy Kara, Drew as Pooh with mommy Genesee, Little Aedin as Roo with mommy Melissa as Kanga, Anna Ballerina with me, and Hazel the spider with mommy Geri. What a cute bunch. It was a fun night! Happy Halloween!
