Trick or Treat!

Another Halloween has come and gone. We took the kids to New Hope Church where they have a big carnival type thing set up with games and food and animals and all kinds of other stuff. We stayed there for a while and let the kids do some trick or treating at a few of our neighbors' houses after that. We noticed as we were driving by our house that Sara forgot to turn off the outside light, so I'm sure we had plenty of trick or treaters stopping by when we weren't home. Poor neighbor kids :(

The fall has officially arrived and we're doing what we can to prepare for winter. I'm doing what I can to hopefully finish the basement so Sara and the kids can use that space as well. Even if I could just get some walls and doors up, it could be usable... and I could finish the detail stuff later. It's pretty close, I just need to get some electrical work done so we can start sheet rocking.

The kids are all doing well, and it's fun to watch them enter into new phases.

Gavin is very observant and is starting to ask some deep questions. It's educational for us too, because if we don't know the answer, we'll go find out. He also dreams a lot and reports his dreams to us.

Aubri talks a lot more since we've limited her "NUK" (pacifier) time. She has entered the "why" phase, where we, as parents, get to explain simple things in much more depth than we thought possible.

Micah is still a very happy and content baby. He's starting to coo and giggle more which is fun. He tries hard to roll over, but hasn't succeeded yet. It's still a rare occasion when he eats well from the bottle, so Sara has to be close by at all times. She's soaking in every minute of it though, especially knowing that this is her last baby. We feel incredibly blessed!
