Happy Halloween!

We've got lots to post but thought it best to get our Halloween pics up ASAP.  We had a great time trick-or-treating tonight.  We walked to our 2 closest neighbors houses and then drove and parked in a nice neighborhood and went house to house.  The kids loved it and both filled their buckets with candy.  Gracie didn't hesitate to grab candy from anyone and was a little upset when we stopped her from eating it at home.  She has a bit more of a sweet tooth than her brother.  Originally Grant said that he wasn't going to go trick-or-treating, he "had work to do downstairs."  About an hour before it was time to go he had a change of heart and got excited.  After we went to a few houses I said to him aren't you glad you decided to trick-or-treat.  His response was, "yea, I am having fun but I don't need candy."  I think they both enjoyed the night but Gracie was all smiles and absolutely loved it.

Hello New York!

We are loving our new home in New York!  We are only 10 minutes from Niagara Falls so we have spent a decent amount of time there.  I think we have made 6 trips so far.  I have been to Niagara Falls a few times before but I had never been on the American side.  Much to my surprise, it is a beautiful park.

We also have a few other beautiful parks near our house where we can hike, kayak, bike, and swim when the weather warms up again.  

 
I think one of the nicest things about this house over others we've had is the nice long paved driveway.  Grant spends a lot of time riding his bike all over it.

Hopefully I'll get another post up soon showing all the fun things we have been doing with our families.  The other big benefit to our location is that we are able to see our families so much more.
