Happy Halloween!

Rory had a blast trick-or-treating this year! She loved dressing up in her Lalaloopsy costume and I think she would have stayed out all night if we'd let her. Otto, on the other hand, was less enthused. He refused to wear his dragon costume, so we had to settle for his zebra sweater. He was cutting four teeth at once, however, so I think he gets a pass!

Cheers!

We had fun trying on costumes and carving a pumpkin on Monday.

Can't Wait for School!

Rory loves waiting for the van to pick her up, and I love getting pictures of her in cute outfits!

Being Silly

Visit With Cousins

My aunt and uncle and cousins came to visit Great-Grandma M. over Labor Day. Rory had a lot of fun playing with the twins but couldn't remember their names...she called them "yellow girl" and "purple girl." 

Second Day of Preschool

So excited to go back!

Little Brother

Poor little brother doesn't get to go to school. But we'll have lots of fun, just the two of us!

First Day of Preschool!

I can't believe Rory is starting preschool. She's going Tuesday and Thursday mornings to an awesome preschool in the country that has ponies and goats and all kinds of animals. We went to an ice cream social last week to visit the school and she had a blast. I think I was waaaay more nervous than she was about the whole thing! I never thought preschool was a big deal, but it kinda is (for the parents, anyway!).

 A little cranky from a big day yesterday, but she was very excited to get in the van to go to preschool.

Rory's nervous-but-excited face.

Happy Birthday, Rory!

Playing with new Lalaloopsy dolls in her birthday dress.

Bowling!

Making the cake (well, eating the frosting, anyway).

Birthday cake!

And just for fun, here's Rory on her birthday three years ago. What a sweetie!
