Doggie

my little mitch was given this stuffed animal from some friends when he was a baby. i have always kept it in his bed and he has become quite attatched. when he gets his doggie in his hands he has to bite it's nose and smother it with kisses. after his public display of affection he proceeds to have a high pitched conversation that only he and his doggie can understand. doggie seems to always make everything better.

Sweet Little Family

While my brother and his family were in town, we were able to squeeze in a little photo session! Here are a few of my favorites.

On Halloween NIght

We celebrated a fabulous Halloween this year. My brother and sister-in-law came to town  for the holiday with their little girls. I just love having family come and stay and it is always so much fun for the kids. It was perfect that the kids were out of school on Friday. It made it so I didn't feel so rushed to get the kids fed, in costumes and on their way. We had chili and scones for dinner which will be a tradition for us - it tasted so yummy. We couldn't have asked for better weather. It was so nice to be able to trick-or-treat without bundling everyone up. I love this time of year!

Doug and I both got to walk around with the kids this year. It is so fun to watch the little one's run from house to house. As Nate was running to one of the houses, I heard him yell, "this is the best night ever" he is definitely a holiday boy. He managed to come home with the heaviest bag of all. Abbie decided that she is getting a little old for trick-or-treating. She thinks this may be her last year. I guess we'll have to wait and see, she does make a great looking witch!
