BrrRRRRR!

Remember Halloween, that holiday 4 weeks ago?

I do, because I've got skads of unposted photos. UNTIL NOW.

Meet the 30 lb. pride of Webster Groves, Stampy the Elephant 2.

From Halloween 2008

(Stampy 1 would be the stuffed one he sleeps with ... a gift from Aunt Lisa to Rachel ... that got intercepted along the way by our resident elephant lover.)

Working on the rest. We actually had darling ones of Matthew with BFF and ladybug Bridget, stay tuned...

Another Wonderful Pre-Halloween Weekend

Who WOULDN'T love this time of year? Crisp weather, beautiful sights of orange pumpkins and leaves, and kiddos in their Halloween gear looking absolutely adorable. Oh, and the pain of Christmas shopping not quite yet upon us. Like this past Saturday...

Miss Rachel in her orange and black finest.

From 10-15-2008

Our dogs, Murphy and Bogey, enjoying the cooler temps with my parent's dog Honey, who were visiting our house before our trip to the pumpkin patch, round 2.

From 10-15-2008

At Rombach's, Matthew enjoying a pony ride. I was SO proud, he wasn't scared! (Actual Matthew and pumpkin pics to follow, soon, hopefully.)

From 10-15-2008

And last but definitely not least, my Dad finally meeting Rachel.

From 10-15-2008

(If you're born and bred in STL, this probably seems odd, but when you're transplants like us, it can take a while for folks to meet the newest family member. No matter how cute and edible her fat cheeks are!)

Happy Early Halloween, Gramas!

Cheeks are expanding!

Just in case you missed the booty on this baby.

Happy its almost Halloween!

My two sweet treats.
