Happy Halloween! (10/31/12)
Mommy and Daddy had to go over to the new house in Barrington to get some estimates on mechanicals, so Ellie and Trey spent the morning at Grandma and Grandpa's house. By the time Ellie woke up from her nap, Mommy and Daddy were there ready to take her trick-or-treating!!
Ellie enjoyed being a penguin and Trey was not at all thrilled about being a chicken.
We started trick-or-treating in Algonquin and after a few houses Ellie learned to say Trick-or-Treat, Thank You and Happy Halloween! As soon as we left one house, she would yell "next house!" and "Halloween!!". She was a hit!
Next stop was Grams and Gramp's where we went trick-or-treating again! Ellie liked to pick suckers and candy that we already had at home, so mommy and daddy were somewhat disappointed. After hearing all the other parents talk about the loot their kids bring home, mommy was looking forward to some good candy. Oh well - maybe next year!

Trey is 3-months old!! (10/28/12)
Trey has hit the 3-month mark! Amazing how fast time flies!
This milestone means mom is no longer on maternity leave and is now spending time at home using vacation. Only 4 weeks and she's back at work full time.

Goebberts Pumpkin Patch (10/24/12)
The weather was nice and a mid-week visit to Goebberts meant we avoided the crowds!
Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Ellie and Trey enjoyed a petting zoo, a pumpkin patch, seeing a Giraffe and even riding a camel!
After Ellie's nap, we carved a pumpkin and Ellie dug right in to take out all of the guts and seeds! We baked the seeds and put a candle in the pumpkin and called it a night. :-)
