Halloween

We went trick or treating with my mom and Austin, Trinity, and Lydia. Drea had a great time (she always loves spending time with her cousins) and got lots of candy. Then we came home and had supper with Angie. Afterward we danced to some of our favorite "Halloween" music and acted silly playing with Brian's mask.

Fall

Other than a nasty case of bronchitis and a sinus infection I've been enjoying the seasonal change. The heat really was too much this Summer. We've been getting outside more and playing with Drea in the yard. I've also been letting Aries in the house more, because he's calmed down lot and pretty much ignores all of her running around and screaming. She's fascinated with him and loves to pet him, but she feels overwhelmed by his size and runs toward me when he gets up off his couch to walk around.

Lost Photos

I'm so sad...somehow all the photos I took between our trip in June and September got erased from the memory card before I could up load them. I've always been careful to document nearly everything with photos, and it upsets me that a huge chunk of Drea's second summer has disappeared.

Even though there aren't any photos of it we did have some summer fun this year. We went to the YMCA pool and outdoor water park several times with Drea's Nana and cousins. We also took Drea to her first theater movie (Winnie the Pooh - she used to call him "Da Pooh"), and to see the Wiggles live in Charlotte.

Drea spent three nights here at home with her Nana and cousins when Brian and I went on a trip to Helen, Georgia for our anniversary. I think she had as much fun as we did.

Now that it's Fall and the oppressive heat is gone we're getting outside and having fun more often. Hopefully I'll be able to keep the photos I take to share of it.
