Happy Halloween!

We actually got Henry to put on a costume and go trick or treating for the first time in 2 years (after discussing it for 2 hours and watching trick or treaters come and go at our house)! He insisted on giving our neighbors a piece of his candy in exchange for a piece from them, and then came home and made a candy shrine on one of his large trucks. He hasn't suggested eating any of the candy because,"I don't like that!" It's okay, mom and dad will eat the candy!

Henry's first movie

Thank you public television for treating Henry to his first movie on the big screen... Curious George!

And Lucas has been increasingly on the move and mimicking words, like "hi!" and "thank you!" 

Fall days

Oma traveled by bus to visit and help us celebrate Lucas' 1st birthday. Henry was thrilled to be able to go along to pick her up and see the "double decker bus" that she rode on. We had a fun birthday party with friends at our house. Lucas followed in his brother's footsteps acting as though we were crazy to think he would touch any cake, much less his very own smash cake. And there was far too much cake left over after the party for even mom to finish.
