Happy Halloween

This past Friday was Halloween and we celebrated at Brad sisters, Brandy, home. Brandy and her husband had a big party and decorated their garage and had a fire outside for people to sit around and roast marsh mellows. This year Caleb is really been into dressing up, so finding perfect costume was hard. But finally after mush thought from our three year old he decided upon this dragon costume. Sophia was a sweet fat butterfly, she hated the costume but looked so cute in it. Brad and I also dressed up. I was a cow girl and Brad was a pirate. ( he was so cute). Brad's mom was a tiger and his dad was dressed from head to toe in camo ( but I am not really sure what that made him). Brad's sisters costume was the best she was a crow and her husband was a scare crow.

Check up!!!!

Today Caleb and Sophia both had check ups with Dr. Gottsman. Sophia weighs 8'12oz and Caleb is 31lbs. Both, Caleb and Sophia are growing fast and looking great. Also, they both got vaccinations for the first time today. Caleb has never had vaccinations so he was not happy with us.

Sophia's Adoption!!!

Guess what!!! I just got a phone call from the lawyer and on December 10, 2008 Sophia's adoption will be final. We are so excited. Only 41 days to go. Lets give God all the glory!!!

Carving our Pumpkin!!!

Last night we carved our pumpkin!!! Isn't Sophie so alert and she is starting to look so big. I got a pattern from the Internet and traced it onto our pumpkin. Then Caleb and Brad cleaned and cut the pumpkins face.

At this point Caleb became very grossed out and was not liking the pumpkins insides. At one point he actually gaged.

The Finally Product!!!

Sweet pictures of Sophia and Daddy!!!

Here is a cute picture of Brad a Sophie sleeping. She loves her daddy!!! When he comes home he gets right in her face and she looks in his eyes and instantly starts kicking her legs and getting excited.

Caleb really likes this head band!!

Sleepy Caleb

Caleb was watching the new movie trailer for Madagascar and fell asleep. Poor thing....we don't let him nap in his bed we make him sit at the table to sleep!!!

The Naked Witch!!

Caleb is really into Dress up or maybe I should say dressing down!!!! Either way he was pretending to be a witch.....Caleb the naked witch!

Burt's Pumpkin Farm

Last week we went to Burts Pumpkin Farm in Dawsonville. Caleb really enjoyed the farm last year but it was so hot ans crowded. This year it was beautiful and actually felt like fall. Sophie had a good time too, she slept in her little sac the whole time.

Caleb played in the rows of pumpkins, he was "hiding and seeking" or at least he thought he was.

I thought this was a pretty picture!!

These next pictures are from the hay ride

This is Caleb and a friend of ours daughter, Aubrey. They surprised us and meet us there.

Sophia's last post placement homestudy!!

On the 14th we had out last in home post placement home study with our social worker. We are so excited, the only thing left for us to do is to have our phone conference with the judge. Below is a picture of Sophie and our awesome social worker Tonya. Tonya was so amazing, she made this whole process easy and painless. Thanks!!

Day at the park!!

Here are a few pictures of a play date we had with the Hicks Family. Caleb loves AJ and Elliot!!! Caleb also Loves to come to the park because he can ride his bike in the parking lot.

Elliot and AJ

Here is a great story. The boys were playing with acorns, they would throw them down the slide and then laugh. Well Elliot came to me to tell on Caleb because "Caleb was not sharing his nuts with everyone else" then Elliot proceeds to go and find his own nuts to play with. He then stood at the top of the slide and said "Ms. Erin do you see my nuts" It was so funny, this is a story I am holding onto for years, it will be great to tell when they graduate.
