Big girl Meg and the Crazy Cousins

Halloween Fun

Yesterday we celebrated Halloween by going on our neighborhood hayride and trick-or-treating. Our adopted neighbors, the Murrell family, came with us. Wenn and Keeton were both ladybugs. Meg was a duck and Keeton's little sister was a firefly and they looked precious! After the hayride, Janelle and Heath Douglas had everyone over for taco soup. Their daughter Darby and Wenn both have Halloween birthdays so we celebrated with a cute scarecrow cake. It was a great night and so good to spend the evening with neighbors and friends!

Surprise!!!

Friday night we surprised Wenn with a trip to Lost Dog with her friends for her birthday. Everyone met at our house and we loaded up car seats and kids then went to get Wenn at my mom's house. She was a little unsure about what was happening when she saw the church van in the driveway but when the doors opened and eveyone yelled "Surprise" the look on her face was priceless. The theme was "Hannah Tana", as Wenn calls her, so everyone got Hannah Montana scarves and headbands to wear. They all looked so fancy! It was a great night and thank you to Anne Locke, Lindsey, Elly, Keeton, and Sally B. for celebrating with us and Olivia and Jordan for being such great helpers. Happy 4th Birthday Wenn!!!

And she now has....

Two Teeth!

Chicago

The weekend before last we took a trip to Chicago. Andy, Ann Claire and her husband Elias all ran the Chicago marathon on Sunday and Wenn and I played. She got to go to the American Girl store and pick out a doll for an early birthday present. We took in some sights while we were there. Wenn loved the Hershey store as you can see in the first picture. We also went to the aquarium and saw the dolphin show. The first night we were there we took an architectural boat tour which was very cold but really cool. It was a wonderful weekend and so good to spend some time with AC and "Aunt Elias". Wenn has always called him Aunt Elias, don't know why but it has stuck. Andy, AC and Elias all did great in the marathon and we are very proud of them! This was Wenn's first airplan ride and while we were taxing onto the runway she kept asking "Are we in the sky yet?". It was so cute and I'm fairly certain she inherited her mom's love of traveling! We will be staying close to home for a while now but it was a great adventure!
