Duluth-o-Ween


Halloween was fabulous! Connor wore his bulldozer and Liam was a skeleton. Both boys enjoyed pushing the door bells and receiving treats for smiling at strangers. We went around our block before heading to west duluth to make the rounds with the Doyle's. It was nice to see all the cousins dressed up and sugared up! I just knew Connor would win the costume contest this year at the UMD volleyball game so I packed everyone up and we arrived just in time to find out they already had a winner(second year in a row that happened-that contest is rigged!!). All in all, the boys had too much candy and were up all night so we never "gained" that extra hour-bummer!

Other news...Liam is clapping-finally! He climbs steps, loves jumping in his crib and on Connor's bed and flips through books endlessly. Connor is more inquizative than we ever imagined a 2 year old to be. He remembers details, asks intellegent questions and can carry on a full conversation. He loves reading, helping Dan in the yard and playing outside. The boys are at such fun ages right now and we look forward to what the holiday season brings.
"Stay at Home Auntie Mary" is such a blessing to our family. She not only helps us out around the house and watches the boys occasionally but she is teaching them new tricks, fun sayings and giving them lots of love!! We value the time she is spending with us and will always cherish the memories we have created and will create!! Love you mussel...i mean Mur!!
