Halloween 2017

 We enjoyed Evelyn being a bit more independent this year with carving pumpkins

 

 The finished products

 We went to the Bamans for dinner and trick or treating.  Audrey wanted a picture of her wings

 It was a very cold Halloween!  Audrey ripped the top of her costume before we even get started.

October happenings

 Last year, Audrey was awarded Royal of the month for the month of October.  We are so proud of her! 

 My friend, Kelly turned the big 4-0!  We surprised her with a lovely brunch.

 Followed by my birthday dinner.

 We had to make a stop and check out the visiting statues.

 A fun ladies night out for a great cause.

 We had a blast at the CF Gala.

Chuck won an award.

Over a year behind

I'm officially over a year behind on the blog but I'm going to keep posting.  Partly for the few of you that check it and partly for myself for when I turn the pictures into books.

The beginning of October (last year) brought Donuts with Dads.  The kids look forward to this even every year! 

Chuck's new partner and his family were in town to house hunt.  We decided to have the department over for a cook out.  The kids all wanted to cram around the same table and eat together.

 I never like how the cheap school pictures turn out so I take my own.  This one decided to be silly at first.

 She eventually cooperated for me to get a nice one.

 Then there's this one that can't get enough of the camera

I have to cut her off

 He's always been good about putting up with me and pictures

 Love these faces
