New Links

There are two new links in my Links Section. Select these to read the adoption journey's for our two girls. During our trips, I sent back several emails to our friends to keep them informed. These two new links are basically those emails in cronological order, with a couple of extra things thrown in.

Halloween

The girls (mostly) had an excellent time for Halloween. First, in the early afternoon, they Trick-or-Treated at the Retirement Home where their grandmother works. They had a really good time there and enjoyed going around with Grandmama. Each had their pumpkin about 2/3 full of candy. Then we got together with Kirsten's brother and his family for some Trick-or-Treating at the local businesses. Again, pumpkins about 2/3 full. Finally, while Kirsten and Kaitlyn handed out candy at home, Emily and I Trick-or-Treated around the neighborhood. She had a fantastic time and filled her pumpkin so full, that we literally could not stuff in another piece of candy.

We have limited the amount of candy that the girls can eat. Generally no more than 2 pieces in a day, sometimes none at all. Now if I could stick to that limitation, things would be much better.

Here are a few recent pictures of the girls in their costumes.

Here is a little video of Kaitlyn doing the dishes. She loves it. I wonder how long this will last.
