Halloween

The kids just got dressed up and ready for trick-or-treating. Mommy wanted pictures.

I have been wanting to post a video since blogger makes it so easy, but have had trouble finding one that I wanted to post. So finally, a fairly recent video of Paul playing:

A week or so ago Laura and I colored some pumpkins. Unfortunately we used washable markers and left them out in the rain. Fortunately we took pictures before it rained. The neat part is that we grew these pumpkins ourselves from the seeds of last year's pumkin!

Laura turned 4 years old over 1 month ago. Labor Day weekend we went up to visit the Pennsylvania grandparents and celebrated Laura and Grandpa Jeff's birthdays...

The next week, on Laura's birthday, we had birthday celebration II, and the Stum's for the family in Maryland. Our friend Marc and his daughter Kaitlyn came to celebrate along with the family.
