Here are our many wonderful updates:
New Member of the Family:
My sister had a beautiful baby girl back on August 7th, Kiernan Margie. She is now 4 months old and smiling and cooing like no other. Lydia is smitten with her and is a very good big cousin. Her job has been to give Kiernan her pacifier when she starts crying and she's become a pro at it. Lydia loves watching Kiernan and loves trying to either calm her down or make her laugh. It's been great having a newborn around and so close. Mary and Brendan moved just 4 blocks away from us so we take walks to their house often. Harley likes having Huckleberry so close too, or at least another backyard to play in.
Ricca invited us to her parent's ranch for a Sunday lunch. The girls had a lot of fun feeding the horses and playing around.
Halloween:
Lydia was the cutest Minnie Mouse this Halloween. This might be the last time I have any influence on what or who she is for Halloween. She had a great time at all the festivities from the school parade to the block party. She was so sweet that after we ran out of candy she wanted to give away her own candy to the kids who came up to the house.
