Happy Halloween!!

What an exciting night. Dan and I both rushed home to get Kate ready for her and Dan's first Halloween out trick-or-treating together. They were so cute. Kate was ready to "go to Halloween" as she put it. They returned 2 hours later, both on sugar highs and tired all at the same time. Dan's was metabolized from alcohol handed out to the parents in place of candy.
I hope you all had a great Halloween!!

My beautiful sister...

I apologize profusely for omitting my sister from the blog heaven knows she looks better than I did after having Kate:)....here she is.

Last post from Wisconsin

Our time here is coming to an end, which I think Dan is happy about. We had a great time with family and friends. Here are a few more pictures from the trip. There are so many good ones.

Olivia...check out that hair!

Kate and Olivia

I'm taking advantage of the free time I have right now to post pictures as I am taking them. Kate is enjoying having a baby around and occasionally takes an interest in playing with her.

Celebrating Kate's Birthday in Wisconsin

We decided to have a little birthday "party" for Kate with family and close friends while we are here.

Fleet Week 1/2 Marathon

Ok, so as I said yesterday, I'm in Wisconsin and my daughter doesn't understand the meaning of vacation so we are still up every morning at 530. At least it only took her one day to make the 1 hour time change. The first day we were up at 430. Anyway, the rest of the house is quiet...
I am going to post some pictures from Dan's half marathon a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful day to run 13.1 miles and I was glad we went to watch him. He ran his personal best 1/2 marathon finishing just under 2 hours. Hopefully I can join him next year. Enjoy.

A picture of the new neice!!!

I don't know how the most important picture did not get into the first post. So...here she is, with her first pumpkin on her first trip to a pumpkin patch...

Welcome to my new goofy idea....

So, I have a couple of friends who write blogs and I thought I would give it a shot. There is always so much going on, so I'm not sure how much I'll keep up with this but I'm going to give it a shot. I figure that I can put some pictures so you can check them out when you want.

I'm in Wisconsin visiting my family, more specifically, my new neice. If I can figure out how to, I will put a few pictures up from our venture to the pumpkin patch on Sunday. It was a beautiful afternoon and now we have more pumpkins than we know what to do with.

So, that's it for now. I'm going to work on posting pictures and then sending out an invitation to check this out.
