May the Force be with you!

Well, we are gearing up for Halloween! The boys are so excited about dressing up as Star Wars characters! In our house, we like to practice before the actual event occurs. So, you can only imagine that just about every day the boys are putting on their outfits and practicing Trick or Treating! Miles is a quick study and learned very quickly that you knock and get candy! So, there is a lot of knocking going on around the house!!!

Last weekend, we had a wonderful time in Hilton Head with the Whaley Family. All 10 of us were there, and it was great. The weather was actually beach friendly, so the kids enjoyed playing on the beach, body surfing and a lot more. We also helped celebrate Karen and Marvin's 40th anniversary. We all had a wonderful time!

On Monday, October 20th, Graham had toe surgery to remove a suspicious spot. The surgery went great and we have received good news that everything was removed. He now is recuperating which is no fun for a 5 year old boy!

The first of the month, we headed to the Farm! It was a great weekend of playing outside, riding the mule, fishing and roasting marshmallows.

All in all, it's been a great month. It's amazing how quickly time does go!

Graham is 5

What a great day! Graham turned five on Wednesday, September 17th. The weekend before, he had a boys only "campout" in the backyard. A few friends came over to run, play, roast marshmellows and be little boys! It was wonderful.

On his actualy birthday, Graham had school and his class took a field trip to the firestation! I went along and actually got to dress up as a fireman!

After school, Graham had his 5 year check up and is doing great. At 46" and 54 lbs, he is a solid little boy. He had his super hero vaccine against the flu reactivated and this year he got to do flu mist!

After the doctor we headed to Chuck E Cheese. Nana, Granddad, Abby and Aunt Melissa met us there. It was lots of fun!
