Halloween!!!

Abe was an Ewok (Star Wars character) for Halloween. Carrie made the costume and it turned out awesome. Although this was technically Abe's second Halloween, it was the first time he actually went Trick or Treating and got candy. He was quite fond of the lollipops. (Click to enlarge)





Are you starting to see the pattern here?




Abe and his costume designer.


I'm trying to convince him that 3 lollipops is really more than enough for an Ewok.

It's early October and we were lucky to have an exceptionally warm weekend. We took advantage of the weather and visited Abe's favorite outdoor spots: the playground, the park and ravine. (click to enlarge)...



This is one of my all-time favorite photos...


Abe loves the slide...

Memorial Day weekend

We spent Memorial Day weekend at Apple Valley with the extended family. It was a boiler so Abe spent most of his time outside in the hippo pool or the tiny tent. Click photos to enlarge.

Hot wheels...
