Happy Halloween!

Ry was a ninja. Evan was Jango Fett from Star Wars. Nora was Belle and Dumbo. The gym had a party on Friday and the princess gown was not warm enough for night time trick or treating here in Wisconsin. So Dumbo was free and warm.
Ry likes seeing the kids dressed up but would still rather hand out the candy than eat it. Evan tried his hardest to keep up with the big kids. Nora LOVED trick or treating this year. Kept saying "more candy" and sounded so cute with her trick or treat and "dank you".

Wedding

Congrats to Cindy and Rich. Ry rocked. Nora wouldnt walk down the aisle and held daddys hand. Poor Evan then didnt know quite what to do but he was so cute. We have CUTE kids.

Ry's first day of third grade

School started Sept 1st. A third grader already. He says he likes his teacher and although I know the homework will be harder, in general I think hes truly happy to be back at school.

Got creme puff?

No visit to the Wisconsin State Fair is complete without a creme puff. Nora LOVED it.

Nora and her foster sister

The family who took care of Nora for 8 months also took care of another baby girl. Their birthdays are 5 days apart and they went home about the same time. The family that adopted Annabelle lives outside of Chicago. We are so very lucky to have finally met them for the first time. The girls didnt seem to recognize each other but it was still very sweet. How awesome that we could bring these girls together again.
Heres pictures from our adoption agencies annual picnic. The boy on the slide is Annabelles brother (biological AND adopted by the same family).

Silly kids

Nora is now in her big girl toddler bed. Little monkey kept climbing out of her crib.
Evan makes us giggle every day. He got his hair cut yesterday and now wants it in a mohawk.
Ry is enjoying being off of school but cant wait to get back either. He had a great time at day scout camp last week.

Happy Birthday Nora

Nora turned 2 yesterday. She enjoyed the cake and kept asking "more please" when opening her gifts. Our little girl is growing so fast!
