Happy Halloween !

Happy Halloween!Miss S has enjoyed a week of Halloween festivities. The local elementary school had a carnival for all the kids in town.

Miss S really liked this little boy's puppy costume. She kept walking around touching the fur and holding onto the tail. He was unfazed.

She won a prize for placing in the 0-4 year age category costume contest.

She made some new friends and practiced climbing around.

We saw some really creative costumes. We loved the wings made from an umbrella.

Miss S was all ready for Halloween night. Here she is at a Halloween party with one of her friends. Surprisingly, they both live in the forest and they were both little red riding hood.

Out trick or treating with dad.

Sometimes it takes a while for people to answer their doors...

but it is always exciting when they do. Miss S exchanged candy with people at their doors and threw quite a bit of candy out of her basket to other little kids.

Fantastic Fall

Miss S enjoying some cream of wheat. We mean really enjoying it.

Out for a wheelbarrow ride with Grandma H.

Who has Grandpa's hat?

Taking her bunny for a walk.

We think she is imitating this scarecrow's face in Half Moon Bay.

We had a great time celebrating great grandma's 80th birthday.
Miss S had fun coloring with her big cousin.

She also found the ice bucket for drinks.
Dr. D and his brother-in-law, not his brother.

Auntie Gail has her hands full with our adorable little niece and Miss S.

All good parties come to an end. Miss S is about ready to collapse after all of the fun.

Lucky 7s

We celebrated our seventh anniversary on the seventh in the year 2007. We spent the weekend in the Monterey area with some friends.

The weather was beautiful.

We rented a little place called the Mermaid's retreat.

Miss S got lots of practice going up and down the stairs.

Dr. D and Harry went out for a few dives.

We were able to enjoy the beautiful weather on the deck.

We toured through the Monterey Bay aquarium. Miss S and daddy drawing some pictures.

Miss S checking out the jellyfish.

The week before was busy as well. Miss S at her dentist appointment getting a cleaning and checkup.

I think the shirt says it all. "Hello. My name is TROUBLE." She is very good at climbing onto the couch and trying to get away from us.

Miss S checking out the ukulele.
