Good times in Virginia. Can hardly wait until the summer and we'll all be together. Come on you guys you're falling down on he job get publishing.

Love you all Mum

Great fun in Tennessee. Sadies 3rd Birthday Party. Grandma misses each and every one of you and we love you all so much.

Lots of love Grandma

Sadie and Matthew went trick or treating tonight. Sadie loved it, Matthew was less than impressed. It was a bit cool, around 8 degrees but the kids didn't even notice (just the parents waiting on the sidewalks!). We went out early, just after supper and then came home to pass out candy. We had about 40 kids this year which is way more than we've had the past few years.

Sadie's Halloween party at school today. She was very excited to go and even consented to wearing tights...a first. Couldn't get a shirt under her dress though. One step at a time I guess.

Some evening fun. Daddy built Isabel a fort out of the couch cushions and a sheet so she invited all her stuffed friends in.

Later while mum was busy playing Sudoku on the computer, Dad and Isabel played with blocks. She's getting really good at placing them higher and higher.

She's signing "block" while saying "bock"... I think she gets the "l" sometimes though.

And then a little story. I'm not entirely sure what she's saying though.....



Playing with her ball and a little laugh in the hallway...

Sorry the videos are so dark. They look worse here than do the original files.

Update

I don't have any interesting pictures to post. But I thought I would announce that Mike has a new job starting November 1st. It is with MSHC Partners - they do political ad campaigns for democratic candidates. Mike will be creating their database. It is in DC, which we wanted because Mike would like to Metro to work. This means we can move north of DC so my commute is cut in half.

Whether you rent it or head to the theatres, we highly recommend 3:10 to Yuma. We just saw it tonight and it's great. It's also getting really good reviews. www.rottentomatoes.com

Some pictures of Grandma's recent trip to Nova Scotia.
