Happy Fall 2010!

It's hard to believe, but this is only one year ago! We took Emrey back to the same pumpkin patch that we went to last year (which is actually at her school) and she loved climbing on the pumpkins and throwing them too...She was so involved in inspecting them, it was difficult for me to get her to look at me while she was sitting in the chair!

Trying to get Emrey to pose for a photo with some of her friends....impossible!

The actual night of Halloween, we took Emrey to a "trunk or treat" at a local church. This was something I had never heard about before, until moving to Texas...maybe they do it in your part of the country? Basically, people park their cars in a parking lot. Each car competes in decorating their trunk and has a little game for the kids to play before they get their candy! Emrey had a blast going from car to car. She did not quite understand the concept of putting her candy in the bag, and wanted to eat each one, as she got it!

This woman was TAKEN by Emrey and just thought she was the cutest thing!

Giraffe and baby belly....

Emrey's good friend Rowan came dressed as a sailor!


After the trunk or treat, we went over to some friends where we walked a couple blocks and gave Emrey the true trick or treating experience of going house to house! Here she is with "pappa Tommy" who carried her most of the way. It was hot, and she was a trooper to stay in her costume!


Going from door to door

Kisses from dad...


Ellis and I were dressed up together as a costume, no...he was no Richard Simmons and I was not "where's Waldo" we're the couple from Juno!!!
