Family Pictures

October 2011

We had family pictures taken at a local park. I tend to like the outdoor pictures a bit better, especially of Amy. It seems like her eyes simply pop in these outdoor pictures. There were so many pictures to choose from - I didn't include all of them, though I included a lot! :)

The Princess & Her Monkey

Halloween 2011

Not surprising, this year Amy wanted to be a princess for Halloween. She chose to be Belle since, according to her, she didn't have a Belle dress. Obviously, Halloween costumes are a year-round thing at our house...perfect for playing dress-up, which we do frequently! Once we decided that Nathan would be a monkey, Amy started saying that Nathan was "her" monkey. So, it was the princess and her monkey!

We were able to go to Daddy's work one afternoon to go trick-or-treating before Halloween. Amy simply loves going through the office building picking out candies. She enjoyed picking a few items for Nathan as well.

On Halloween, Amy was so excited to go around the neighborhood with a few of her little friends. Nathan went with us for a few houses before he returned home to help Daddy pass out candy to the other trick-or-treaters. Amy enjoyed picking out candy, but especially loved picking out a bear from the house that gives out bears!

New Trick

October 2011

Nathan has learned a new trick...

Pulling all the books off the shelf. I wonder if he learned this from his sister because she used to do the exact same thing!!

It looks like he enjoys it as much as Amy used to....not sure if Mommy likes this new trick, but look at that smile!
