It's Almost Halloween!!!!!!!!!




Since we are still tying to catch everyone up on all the kids' stuff we thought we'd get you ready for Halloween with last year's pictures! Vincent was Elvis and Ocean was a Princess...we were trying to think of all of Vincent's Halloween costumes since he was born, and the list goes like this: a pumpkin, a bunny rabbit, Thomas the Tank Engine (2 years), a Firefighter, Steve Irwin, John Lennon, and Elvis. What a progression! This year he is dressing up as his favorite Cardinals player, Albert Pujols. He's got his own fake facial hair to wear, and he's very excited. (He has also been checking his upper lip lately to see if he's getting a moustache....that's a story for another blog entry!)



In years' past, Ocean has been a ladybug, Tigger, A Sunflower Fairy, and a Princess (3 years). This year she is going to be a Rock Star...we are currently in negotiations over what the outfit will look like! She recorded the song Rainbow Connection with her Daddy this last weekend to get in the mood! I am sad to retire the Princess Dress!

Todd and I will be dressed up as the tired parents trying to keep up with them...same as last year!

Have a Happy Halloween, everyone!

Old Pictures...New to You!!




Last February, Todd and Ocean went to a Father Daughter Dance at her school. Ocean was over the moon. We had to buy her first "prom dress" and curl her hair into ringlets. She and Daddy had a great time and she loves looking at these pictures. She also loved having her Daddy to herself for the whole night, and showing her daddy off to all of her friends.

The first picture is from Christmas Eve 2007. Every year, we make popcorn and hot chocolate and watch The Polar Express together...then the kids pass out in our bedroom so we can all wake up together on Christmas morning. We can't wait for the next holiday season...it's right around the corner!
