Happy Halloween!

Our first Halloween in our new home: I am now learning wisdom as I become a more seasoned Halloween mom, that at least two out of our four children are bound to change their minds at the last minute about their costumes. Ben ended up deciding to wear his badly torn ghost costume from last year instead of the brand new Anakin Skywalker costume he insisted on a few weeks ago. Jeff also changed from Spiderman to Venom. Sarah was true to Rapunzel, although I now know why the storybooks always show her with a long braid. The wig became a huge knot in about ten minutes. And Jacob was the cutest vampire ever!

So I had fun finally putting some music on our blog and I had to put 'Fireflies' on first because the kids LOVE this song so much - -well, that and 'Hey, Soul Sister' (doesn't every child love this song? I think it must be the ukelele!). Anyway, since this is our family blog with mostly pictures of the children, and we've been listening to this song somewhat constantly since our move, it seemed only natural! This picture is from June. We finally have a real back yard for the kids to play in and they were so excited for their first run through the sprinklers after a long winter.

So, for all of you who know us, we are not always the most consistent at things like blogs, but I was looking at all of these seriously outdated pictures and entries and realized it's time to update. So here goes... We moved! We bought a new house! We have gone a whole year without getting pregnant. Yes, some very important milestones have occurred as our so aptly named "Woodland Adventure" continues...
