To Infinity and....Beyond

Happy Halloween everyone!  We had a very successful parade at Jackson's preschool, & then we went to a fantastic party our friends throw every Halloween that ends with all the kids going out to trick or treat.  Some highlights -- Jackson wouldn't eat all day unless someone helped him because he would not remove his Buzz gloves.  He napped with his entire costume on.  He finally "got" trick or treating and couldn't get over the fact people were handing him candy.  And now he's holding onto his bucket of candy like it was a pot of gold.  It's in his bed.  And everybody was going crazy for our cuter than cute strawberry.  She enjoyed all the attention and was loved and adored all day.  And to quote Jackson -- both kids had the "best day ever."

These Booties were made for Walking

And she's off!  Yes, she is fully walking.  Pics to come.

Happy Birthday Mia!

Today is one of Eliza's "sister's" birthday from the Tonggu SWI (orphanage) -- Happy Day Mia!  Just like Eliza, she is an autumn/tiger baby.   We are celebrating in spirit here on the West coast.  Here are some pics from our pumpkin patch day of fun.

New Eliza Stats

E just had her one-year-old check up.  She's doing really well.  So far she's meeting all her developmental milestones and is really excelling physically. She knew exactly what was going to happen when the nurse walked in the room with the tray of shots.  Is it at all possible that she could remember from her shots 3 months ago?!
