Dressing Up

Fall is upon us and we had our first Halloween event but just a few things to cover first...

Earlier in the week, we thought Jack had recovered from his cold, no more runny nose, but Thursday night he came down with a fever and the next morning the doctor diagnosed an ear infection. Fortunately, he has made a quick recovery and the rest of the weekend he was a very happy boy. So Jack could get in a good nap and recover from his visit to the doctor, Grandpa Maurice took Lily to gymnastics on Friday - she had a great time showing off all of her tricks and playing on the huge train moonbounce slide. Later in the day, Lily took a spin on her bike and we visited the playground where Jack did some swinging and sliding.

On Saturday, Lily and Jack both dressed up in their Halloween costumes for the neighborhood parade and festival. Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom came over to take them to the parade and festival so Marcy could drive to NYC to meet Stuart (his flight from Austin was cancelled Friday so he flew directly to NYC Saturday) to go to dinner with cousin Emilie and to see Saturday Night Live.

The kids had fun parading and Lily enjoyed the moonbounce and other games. They then headed to G&G's house for a sleepover. The kids had a great time playing with lots of toys and they got in a trip to the playground and Lily got in a bike ride with Grandpa. Jack enjoyed squealing anytime he saw Ivan, and is now in full crawl mode although he is taking it pretty slow. He now pulls himself up in his crib and other low pieces of furniture.

Enjoy the pics, and there will be many more pics of the costumes as the Halloween festivities have only just begun!

Lily and Jack want to send out birthday wishes to Dad who will be celebrating his birthday on Friday!
