Halloween 2010




We sure had a fun Halloween this year. Hello Kitty didn't really want to get her full costume on (face paint), but she sure enjoyed knocking on doors and collecting candy. Batgirl loved her special costume complete with Uncle Packie's "Batman" boots from when he was a little boy and custom cape made by her Mimi and Aunt Margaret. She stomped around the house in those boots for days :) We were invited to a little party in her classroom for Halloween, and it was our first chance to see her interact with her friends and teacher. They were all so cute in their costumes and had fun singing us a few songs they had learned. If you look closely you can see Lily's "brother" Keaton in the background in his fireman costume.

Brothers and Boyfriends




The only part of the IWU homecoming we could attend this year was the landing of the Blackhawk chopper. Jeff was , of course, there for all the events, but I had a wedding to attend later that day. Lily and Ella loved getting to see the chopper up close and even better they enjoyed the experience with some of their favorite buddies or as they call them their brothers. Lily and Keaton have known each other since birth and she refers to him, as well as Dalton and Calem, as her brother. Ella refers to Eoin as her boyfriend though :)

Ella Days


Ella and I have a lot of fun on the days that Lily is at preschool. Sometimes we go out to breakfast or visit friends. Other days we enjoy strolling through Meijer and picking out fun treats. She talks non-stop and always has something funny to say. No matter what we end up doing each day, this is time I will always cherish :)

I just found these pictures from a family brunch we had in August to celebrate Mimi and Papa's 30th wedding anniversary. Not only did we enjoy the company and the delicious food we also enjoyed a private room so that the girls could run around :) Congratulations Mimi and Papa on 30 years!!
