Regan & JoJo (the best next door neighbors ever!!)

I feel like each Halloween gets better & better.  Grace was Batgirl this year....a costume she selected and I had noting to do with :)  Cami was a Ladybug and both girls LOVED the whole evening.  Our neighbor had their annual Halloween party and Nan came over to spend the night with us.  We all went Trick-or-Treating for a little bit and then Nana, Cami and I came home to pass-out candy as Mike & Grace took on the neighborhood with her friends.  A super night!!  Boo to your family too!

Camryn's first plane ride

We went to San Francisco this weekend with Nana & Papa to visit Poppy and Sandy. It was Camryn's first time on an airplane as well as her first time meeting her Poppy who is 90 years old - a big adventure for our family!  Grace is a great little traveler and Cami was very good in SF although the plane ride was a little hectic because she wasn't very interested in sitting still.  I cannot IMAGINE flying with her (at this age) for more than 1 hour.  We stayed at a family friend's beautiful home on Union, right across the street from Poppy's house.  It was a memorable and exciting trip for all of us.  Grace's favorites - going across the golden gate bridge, walking the steep streets, seeing a cow's eye disected at the Exploritorium, meeting Poppy's dog Jessie & Fisherman's Warf.  What a perfect weekend!!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Jill, Grace, Audrey & Faith

We went on Grace's class field trip to the pumpkin patch at Tanaka Farms today.  It felt more like strawberry-picking season with this heat wave, but I'll take it over a cold rainy day for sure.  It was so fun to see Grace run off holding hands with her friends.  She has a great class and teacher this year.  Thanks to my friend Amy & my mom for watching Cami so I could enjoy the field trip.

Happy Birthday Baby!

Camryn turned 1 today!  We had a nice dinner last night with family to celebrate the momentous occasion.  Cami and Grace were both so happy to see the balloons, cupcakes, presents, but most of all, family.  She got some great new toys and tons of clothes.  Grace was such a big help with getting everything ready for Cami yesterday.  Cami, you are an exceptionally sweet and good baby.  We are so lucky to have you and just adore you with all of our hearts.  Happy Birthday!!

This Little Beauty...

...Turns 1 in 48 Hours!

We've Been Boo'ed

Each year we have a Halloween tradition on our street called the "Cantora Ghost".  He comes in the form of neighbors "boo'ing" eachother by leaving Halloween treats at their doors.  The girls woke up this morning to find some NICE halloween treats on our doorstep today :) Halloween is in the air!
