At the playground...

...the indoor playground with cousin Audrey.


At one point Zoe hit her head on some (padded) play equipment. A kiss still helps, although she kept shaking her head. She looked up at me with a concerned look and asked "Do you hear that rattling?"
No, Zoe. But you made me laugh.

Cleaning up my digital mess of photos


And this is oh so appropriate. Should have put it on the Christmas card last year (with Dad photoshopped in).

We will miss you so much, Grandpa Jon

Last Tuesday night the world lost a great guy. Your grandpa Jon.
Eventually the words will come, but for now a few photos I found while peaking back in the blog...

Halloween!


Batgirl.


And our neighborhood Zombie Ninja, Matthew.


All dressed up for the party hosted by our neighbor.


An opportunity for the kids to show off their costumes.
Gavin, Matthew, Zoe, Gabe and Roman.


I think was the first time the kiddos took the responsibility for prepping and carving their own pumpkin.


Roman's. The classic.
He's already made suggestions for improvement next year.


Zoe and Roman's. 
Zoe's is a princess, complete with tiara and necklace.
And eyelashes.


Dressed for the party at school. 
Mermaid and Spiderman. Why stay consistent?!


I think we were all excited to trick or treat in our new neighborhood and when Matthew's mom asked if the 5 kids on the court wanted to do it together, we were in!
Matthew, Roman, Zoe, Gabe and Gavin.
Zoe's bus buddy Keira also ran into us as we started and joined the fun. 
It was cold. It afforded Zoe the opportunity to dress up as what she originally wanted to be: a witch. With a winter coat on the Hat was all that mattered. And the cape. It worked out. 


As you can see. Wow!


The candy. And Grandma Candy stayed and passed out candy while we were having fun going door to door.


The morning after. 
Without any sort of prompt he dumped his candy and started organizing it.
And when he had to take it off the table he put it in 3 bags: chocolate, fruity and sticky (this I think had two things: rice crispie bar and peanut butter blossom/taffy thing).
That's my boy.

Fall



 










with Audrey!


 


I sense something is missing....


...finally!
The tooth fairy didn't show the first night (again!), but a handwritten note did the trick.
The look on his face the next day when he saw what she brought was priceless. Roman's genuine smile (not always captured in photos).
