Always playing catch-up

Not even going to say "sorry" about it anymore. Here are pix of Halloween and a little video from this week, too. We've had a great fall (well, whatever those hot dry months of Sept & Oct were- "fall" only on the calendar) and anxiously looking forward to the holiday breaks from work, then celebrating December's many holidays for our family. In particular, a #5 wedding anniversary and #2 bday. This year is a VA Thanksgiving and a "Christmas in Dixie" rotation- can't wait for either.

Highlights: trip to GA in Sept, every No VA fall festival/pumpkin patch we read about on our at-home wknds- we tried extra hard for the ones with moonbounces, tons of weekend time at playgrounds [w/playdates where we could grab 'em], Sat and Sun football games, out-of-town guests (friend JC to run USMC marathon & separately, Grandmom T. from GA), & Halloween. We've also cycled through pink eye for all 3 of us and some extreme colds/48 hour flu bugs in the past month (no one was left untouched), so we're on the mend and hope that between our new flu shots and built up immunities from all this, we'll sail through winter. ....yes, I'm sure that will happen.

Enjoy!

Up, up and away! no need to over explain, but I will. This is Halloween- enjoyed party at school, parade in 'hood with all the other kids, & a certain really cool (??? is "cool" really the word I'm looking for?) DAD who dressed the part, too.

Logan loves trains. Guess what he is getting completely outfitted with this year for bday/xmas- with table and all? [His narration on the video is one constant stream of "chugga chugga".] His parents can't WAIT for bedtimes after that table is assembled/revealed to get hands on those toys either. Yes, our picks for what L "wants" for Christmas and Bday @ this age are quite self-serving.

The final picture under the video is just a scene from us playing in the tent/playhouse.
