Phases

As my sister-in-law Heather says, all things kids go through are phases--even the good ones. So if you're in a good one, enjoy it while it lasts and if you're in a tough one, know that it will pass.
In case it never happens again, I thought I'd better record it. Last night by 7:15 pm, both girls were asleep in their now shared room (they've been sharing for 2 weeks). It was an easy bedtime, neither one cried. Dan went to check on them at 8:30 or so and they both slept soundly all night long! No peeps until 6:15 am!!! Wahoo!!! Now some of you may be thinking that 6:15 sounds early, but with these girls, 6:15 is just heavenly. They usually wake up between 5:30 and 6. AND, because Dan isn't at his regular office today, he was going in later than his usual 6:30, so his alarm hadn't even gone off yet. Ahh, the small joys of life. And now I must go--Megan just rode past me on her trike...naked...and has just stopped off in the bathroom where I hear her playing in the sink. But what a fantastic night and morning. I hope this phase lasts for a few days at least :)

Birthday Week and Halloween

We really enjoyed the last week of October. We had a ward harvest party, a family bday party for Dan, Megan, and Zach (but mostly Dan), Dan's bday on Tuesday the 27th, a ward trunk or treat on the 30th, and then the 31st was Megan's bday, Zach's bday party, a neighborhood costume parade and some trick or treating! We love our little Princess and our litte Pea! By the way, if you didn't catch "The Office" last week, Dan went as Jim Halpert who dressed up as "the famous social networking site, Bookface". Here's a million pictures...enjoy :)

Our little princess watching Cinderella (her favorite...we literally watch it everyday)



Sweet pumpkin. This is the outfit we put Megan in the day she was born (it was huge)..and on her first birthday (it was a little snug then--it's a size 3-6 months). It's perfect for Brooke right now.

Megan and Gracey-2 cute princesses! Megan was a little shy from time to time but loved saying "trick-TREEEEAT!", "Ha-WEEEEN", and "ga-pow" (thank you--weird, I know).
