Happy All Hallows Eve

We spent the afternoon/evening over at my sister-in-law's house for costume photos and trick-or-treating with cousins O and Ro. We had at least 5 costume options, the penguin won by being the warmest (I'll post pictures of the other costumes soon). For those of you who visit both of our blogs, the same pictures are posted on Cab's site as well. :)

Here we've just gotten dressed in our costume. Quite possibly the world's cutest baby penguin.

Pictures with O (cheerleader) and Ro (baseball slugger)

O looooooves her cousin!

Loves her so much, she decided to shield Cab's eyes from the bright camera flashes. :)

O was a very convincing cheerleader. Before trick-or-treating she treated us all to one-armed summersaults (she has a cast on) and a very peppy cheer, "K-E-R-R-Y, Kerry! Kerry! Go Kerry!" Must make her mom very proud!

Here we are out in the neighborhood. We didn't start with a candy bucket...I would have felt pretty silly since any candy collected would be for ME. ;) One of the very sweet neighbors gave it to her!

She thought it was a very good and useful thing to have.

cutest. penguin. ever.

Happy Halloween everyone!

1st Halloween...card

Grandma and Grandpa SD sent Cababy's first Halloween card. It was great...and tastey.

Here is the before...I skipped the after, too sad. :)

laundry time

Cababy helped me do some laundry this week. Such a good little helper!

Elusive bulldog face

I don't know if we'll ever be able to catch this on still camera. We've got a few seconds of video that we'll load soon that shows it better. :)

October:

Took our first ferry ride out to San Juan Island for the weekend. FUN!

I have got to capture this on film better. Cab makes a little bulldog face and sniffs really loudly. It's hilarious. Then again, so is E's.

The ferry was a little on the long side, so some of us fell asleep.

Behind us in that bright sunshine is water and islands...not sure where they went to.

Here we are at Friday Harbor waiting for our ferry ride back to Anacortes (or Ana Cortez...).

And back home, just having some tum-tum-time.

There, we're up-to-date. Peace out.

September:

We took our first airplane ride up to AK to visit family. Here are 3 generations...if my dad had been around at the time, we could have made it 4. :)

Cab with Great-Grandma P.

With my bestest bud of nearly 20 years! and her number 4 of 5, Keegs (funny kid).

Keegan was great at making Cab laugh!

We went for a walk with Uncle Barry (who took the picture). :)

And we met 2 uncles, and aunt and 3 cousins. Whew, busy trip!

When we got home we had a visit from Grandma and Grandpa South Dakota!

This was a first meeting for Grandpa. I think they like each other.

And finally we'll end with some pure cuteness. She's so beautiful, it takes my breath away. I'm so lucky I get to be her mommy.
