Birthdays, Baptism and Trick or Treating...

Emma Louise turned two in October...
yes, I am late in posting--
but better late then . . .
you know the rest!
So here are the highlights:



The JOYS of TWO

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

Such a beauty, such a personality
what an amazing girl!!

Grandpa teaching beautiful Riley how to play checkers,
so she can challenge Steven...
Emma is watching and learning!!

Playing at the Children's museum

Now, the gifts!!!

Yes, this outfit is from me...
couldn't resist the fringes!!
See Jessica's blog for the dance moves!!

Such a wonderful day spent celebrating--

Next in October....
Evan's Baptism,
on Halloween...
so, road trip---

Father and Son

Happy Family

After baptism,
apple cider time--
here's Riley turning the
apples into cider--
It was GREAT!!

Patty and Seville straining the juice...
or just trying to get it in the
jugs and not on the driveway!!

How many strong, handsome men
does it take to make apple cider?

Leaving the clean-up
to the master of the house!!
way to go brother Paul!!

Now, trick or treating....
Miles is the bush man from San Fran...

I tried to find the easiest costume..
a cat
didn't realize all the jokes
(most inappropriate-shame on you)
that came with this costume!!
But had a fun time with granddaughters!

Jessica out-did herself this year
making their costumes
which included--
vests and chaps--
while being in her 1st trimester!!
super woman!

Emma endured until the end--
and Grandpa loved giving her a ride!

Birthday boy beast...

happy family

tired but happy couple

tired, and oh, so happy grandparents!!

We had a great weekend with family--
we missed celebrating Morgan's birthday with her--
but I posted enough photos on face book
to let her know that we were thinking of her
and remembering all of her Halloween Birthdays.
Check out my facebook photos if you missed the
"Morgan costume tribute"!!

Now... still to come--
Graduation and Thanksgiving--
before the week is out, promise!!
