Happy Halloweeeeeeen!

What a night it has been. Jadyn is learning first hand about the really strange things we do in this country, and she is thinkings it's not half bad.

The dilemna of the day was what to wear, what to wear? She had 3 costumes to choose from, but we settled on what we think was the coolest.

Biker Babe J

Here is the biker babe in all her glory. We went on a hay ride with some friends and had a great time. She got a little fussy, so we hopped off and headed home on foot, luckily, we hitched a ride from the Neas'. Jadyn and I sat on the front steps and handed out candy. She unwrapped about 42 dum dums - which I'm still wondering why I bought a whole bag of those given her current obsession with dum dums. She has to have one for each hand - twice the sticky, twice the fun! And she eats on both of them.

The unwrapping of the Dum Dums!

The Zehr's came over and the kids enjoyed sitting on the porch, handing out candy, unwrapping dum dums, and posing for the camera. Here's some cute shots of the whole crew. A good time was had by all, except that Ashley ended up with something chewed up on her hand that we're not sure what it was, probably a dum dum.

Jadyn is fast asleep, I'm sure that I have a dum dum stuck to me somewhere that I'll find later, and all is well. Good night friends, loved ones and trick or treaters. Jadyn says thanks!

Friday Photo Fun - Times 2!

For your viewing pleasure, not one but two photos this week - since I missed last week it is the least that I could do. I thought about an apology post, but who has the time to type a lengthy, heartfelt, apology. Not me, I have a toddler.

So without futher delay, here they are.

I wear my suglasses at night...

because it's bright in my bedroom.

Suddenly she has started wearing these

sunglasses for whatever reason. I guess

just to give us a laugh, because it's

really funny!

This is from the pumpkin patch.

Everyone was very thirsty from

running and petting the calf. J

only wanted to drink Addie's juice

and not her own. Addie was a real

trooper. The face says it all! J

was too busy trying to drink all

of Addie's juice while she was

smiling for the camera!!!

Friday Photo Fun

Boy, once again, I have been a slacker. It was a tough decision on my favorite photo this week, I have taken tons of pictures. We had company last weekend, a family that traveled with us from Iowa. We were so excited to have their family visit us, it was a blast.

Jadyn and Mattea spent their first year of their life together at the Fuling Social Welfare Institute, we consider them to be "Fuling sisters". Most of the families feel the importance of keeping the connection between the girls and Jordan, the one little boy who was "delivered" into our hands on Mother's Day, May 13, 2007. After all, this is the only connection to our past. We have such a strong bond as a travel group, which is really neat. We check in fairly regularly with each other through a yahoo group despite our crazy, busy lives.

More later about our fun weekend.
