trick or treat

ada and joe had a great night passing out candy. after passing out candy for a while we took her around the neighborhood to collect some for herself. the first house she came to she reach in the candy bucket, pulled out a sucker, put it in the bag of another kid, and said "trick-or-treat"! needless to say, she had more fun passing out candy...well, maybe she had more fun eating it!!

bath time

like ada, owen loves bath time. he especially loved it after his surgery because it was about the only time his arm splints weren't on. he would start to put his hands up to his mouth and i would tell him to stop. he would slowly lower his hands with a sweet look on his face. it took him a good 2 weeks after we took his splints off before he realized he could put his hands in his mouth again!

day with family

we had a fabulous day with aunt janet (ada calls her aunt janna), uncle tom, great aunt jane and uncle tommy, and grandmother. we roasted marshmallows and hot dogs at deb and joe's. joe has almost finished the civil war era log cabin he reconstructed on their property. ada had a great time in the loft with joe...of course she needed a bath when the day was done!
