Happy Halloween

We hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday, Caleb enjoyed his first official trick or treating year as a running monkey, at this point the candy and costume were not so important, but going outside and running from door to door or cubical to cubical were great. Unfortunately, the photo ops were not great as a running monkey does not make for good photos. First a few other fall and pumpkin pictures.

Playing at the park, Daddy throwing leaves on my head makes me laugh and shrug my shoulders

I've got candy, and it echoes in the entry way at Grandpa Jim's office, which is really funny

Big News and long awaited update

Well for those of you who still check the blog, and haven't heard our big news, we are expecting a sibling for Caleb in Mid April. Don't worry the blog will still be more pictures of Caleb (he is cuter), but I will post some info and pics as things progress. Everything appears to be going well with this second pregnancy, I am currently at 16 weeks, but not really showing yet. We have heard the heart beat at a couple different routine appointments, but that is about all we know at this point. We will be having an ultrasound sometime around the end of this month, but we aren't planning on learning the sex this time around.

As for the rest of the family we have been busy with sports and Doug travelled for work every week in October, so Caleb has had a lot of Mommy time. We briefly saw Jen, John and Anna for a while in September and spent a lot of time with Doug's grandma Luella during her three week visit.

Video of Caleb dancing to music from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers a couple months ago, not his best attempt, but the best one captured on video.
