Halloween and First Haircut

People keep telling me to blog more (my parents), but wow, there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. Here is catch up from the last month. Hopefully I will blog about Ella's birthday on Wednesday.

Begging Daddy for ice-cream!

We went to Boo at the Zoo last weekend.

Anna wanted to pose by Dora.

Fran and I took our kids to Cracker Barrel Tuesday.

We went to a trunk or treat Wednesday night.

Fran had a great Halloween party for all our kids! Thanks Fran!

All the kids..posing for a picute.

Anna wanted to bob for apples so bad, but didn't want to get wet.

Joe and I went to a Bible Fellowship Halloween party at John and Amanda's Saturday night. For some reason, I did not get everyone's pictures, but each couple were dressed really creatively.

The girls weren't sure about Mommy and Daddy.

50s couple...

Pirates!

Pregnant nun!

UPS guy and his "package"!

Amazing food and decorations!

We carved pumpkins at the Halloween party last night. I did this one for Ella's birthday!

11 Months Old

Wow does time fly....it has been a month since my last post and now my baby girl is 11 months old. She is growing up way too fast. This fall as I put new clothes on her (well new for Ella) I remember when Anna was this young wearing those same outfits and it really makes time seem to go by fast. Anna is approaching 3 and Ella is almost 1.

Ella is into everything now and one of the things I say most these days is "no touch". She is learning the concept well and recognizes what she can and cannot touch since we don't child proof our house. She loves to stand up next to the couch or anything else, but is not trying to walk. She has 6 teeth, but is getting 2 more right now. She is starting to sign back to us. She can sign "more" and "milk". She says "da da" all the time and also 'na na"m which I now believe is what she calls me. We are working on changing that though.

Preview for Halloween...

My great friend Amanda took some pictures of Ella in her birthday dress for her invitation. Can't wait to see what she got!

Not sure about Josh and his silly face.
