Happy Halloween

Peter had two costumes today. First he was Peter pumpkin eater, then my little candy corn.  Our good friend Addie and her son Linos are visiting from Austria and we got to play with them too - such a treat!  Peter had a blast playing with Linos.  Linos has a little brother and sister that are Peter's age so Linos was really good about playing with Peter and teaching him all sorts of fun things (like jumping on the couch!)

So much fun playing with Linos today!

Eating a purple sweet potato - literally the same color as my shirt.  Bizarre!  Fitting for Halloween.

Changing Wheels

It's amazing the difference 6 years makes.........


Jake's big wheels

The Clifton "mini"
We took the plunge and joined the club.  And every, single, day, we get more excited about our new wheels.  Might I add, that it was Jake who had to talk me into even test driving a minivan at first..........(shoot, I wasn't supposed to share that).  Compared to the other crossovers that I was looking at, I just could not get over how much functional space there was in this rig!  Really though, it was the pop up sun shades that sold me.  Dang - I am such a mom.  Totally loving it.

Tacoma Time

We went up to Tacoma this weekend to visit grandma Millie.  We got to see some other friends and family too!  Gretchen, Dan and Kennedy came to visit on Saturday, then cousin Leah came down Sunday morning.  We had a great time playing with great grandma Millie.

Water boy

Peter loves playing in the water.  As soon as he hears the sound of any faucet he comes crawling! 




Here are some fun faces of Peter from the last few weeks.  Couldn't resist.
