Happy Halloween

So we never did get around to carving the pumpkin; but how many people have a pumpkin that was written on with a quill pen?

We went to the ward's trunk-or-treat party last night and had a decent amount of fun. We all got to wear our pirate costumes.

Ezra didn't really get it at first, but it didn't take him long once we started taking him around to get treats. For the first four or five people that gave him candy he kept saying,"Thank you, thank you" instead of "Trick-or-Treat" but that's okay.

The weather has been nice, and we've been able to open windows and be outside quite a bit more. Susan and the kids have been able to take walks, which has been nice for everyone. Ezra has enjoyed being able to play at the park.

He's quite the climber. There is a little climbing wall on some of the playground equipment, and he goes up it like it is nothing.

He loves going to the park, and its a good way to get some of his energy out so that he's not quite so hyper and bouncing off the walls here at home.


Both Ezra and Emma are growing like crazy. It's amazing to see them both develop so quickly.

Still a bit too small for driving though!

Emma can sit up by herself now, though she only lasts a few minutes usually before she falls over. The time that she stays up keeps getting longer and longer.



Emma is now crawling. Her crawl looks a little more conventional than Ezra's did at first. Unlike Ezra though, she likes to stick anything and everything in her mouth, which keeps things interesting.

The kids get along great. It always puts smiles on our faces when they both start giggling, either in the car when we're driving somewhere or at home when they're just playing together. Ezra still forgets sometimes that he needs to be a bit more gentle with Emma, but he's learning.
