Halloween 2008

As you can probably tell by the date, we didn't ge to do Halloween on October 31 this year. We were in Philly on Halloween so we took the kids to Mom and Dad's in their costumes the next night. This was Allyson's first Halloween and I'm not sure she enjoyed herself.

Evan was a veterinarian and Ally was a cat. Appriate, right? Evan likes to take care of Ally by giving her hugs and saying, "she's so cute!" so we made her costume something that his character would take care of. They both looked so cute and Evan kept taking out his 'tools' and playing with them. He used the play scissors to cut Poppy's toes off. And He listened to heart beats and just had a good time.

This is Evan. He is laughing so hard at something (I can't remember what). Once he realized that we thought this was hysterical, he kept doing it to make us laugh more. What a cute little ham!

Evan is growing up so fast. All of the sudden he's talking all the time....I mean, he never shuts up! He tells jokes, sings songs, makes up his own songs. He is so creative and I can tell that he is super smart. He has known his numbers since he was 18 months old and his letters since he was just under 2. He can even recognize all the upper and lower case letters. He can even recognize his name. I don't know where he gots his brains from! Certainly it wasn't from me.

He is the sweetest little boy. He's got me wrapped around his little finger. Just when he's about to drive me crazy doing things he shouldn't, he comes up to me and wraps his little arms around my neck, gives me a kiss and says, I love
you." Who's heart wouldn't melt?



This is my Allyson. She just learned to crawl and she's making a break for it here. Isn't she the most beautiful girl you've ever seen?

Two days ago she started saying the word 'ball.' I couldn't believe it! She loves to play and smile and laugh. She doesn't cry very often, only when I leave the room....haha It's a great feeling to know that your baby loves you.




I don't know if I want Evan to be a doctor when he grows up. It's hard work! But he enjoys being Doctor Evan (which is what he calls himself) right now. He can do whatever he wants when he grows up...I just want him to always be happy.
