Halloween

Halloween night was a great time, but it did not go as I had planned. First, Silas was going to be Darth Vader for months, but a week before Halloween he would make a much better Buzz. I kind of liked the change. Anna was going to go as Yoda, but she fell asleep before it was time to go trick or treating. We were planning to go to another Birmingham neighborhood which is known for good trick or treating. Instead, Silas and I opted to go around our neighborhood. It was a last minute decision, but it was a good decision. It was low key and our neighbors were so friendly. Silas got to show each one of them his buzz wings, which were pretty cool. Katherine joined us as we were wrapping up.

Welcome Emilie!!

What an eventful weekend. I traveled to Cincinnati for Ann Marie's baby shower and she delivered sweet Emilie on the day of her shower!! Emilie was 6 weeks early but was born healthy and Ann Marie recovered quickly. What a blessing from God! It was a stress filled weekend but we also took time to have some fun. We went to the pumpkin farm, the zoo, and spent as much time with family as we could. We stayed with our friends Carmen and Mike, who were great hosts. We roasted marshmallows by the campfire and even got to try buffalo tacos.

Best Buds, Ella and Silas

Happy Birthday Silas John!!

Silas turned 3 this year! I am sure we are headed for trouble because his second year went so smoothly. Silas is handsome and bright. He is a great big brother and never had trouble with the transition. He is good with tools and helps Daddy a lot in the workshop. He also has no problem helping Mommy with vacuuming, dishes or yard work. When Si gives a hug, he says "A Hug," quoting Cornelius P. Mud. He loves books and we read several each night. We are so blessed to have Silas in our lives. A lot of our family and friends came for his birthday party. We love you birthday boy!!

Silas started school this August. It was a tough transition, but the book, "The Kissing Hand" helped a lot. After a week, he was adjusted and enjoying his class! My baby boy is growing up.

Fun with Mater Teeth!

We had fun visiting with Ty! We miss him! He was one of our climbing friends who had moved. The kids love him! Anna crawled right into his lap and had never met him before.
