Happy Halloween!

We had a great night trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.  It took Grant a few houses to warm up and then he really loved it.  We weren't sure how Halloween would go because a few weeks ago he said he didn't want to be anything and didn't want to go to houses to get candy.  When we went to the store and he saw this "dinosaur" costume he definitely was a bit more excited but still wasn't too keen on wearing it around the house.  We were happy that he had such a great night.  We also thought Gracie was going to miss going out because she was sick and finally napping when we ready to leave.  She did end up waking up on her own in time to dress-up.  We all enjoyed having quite a few trick-or-treaters and by the end of the night Grant was grabbing the bowl of candy and running to the door. 

 We sure missed being with family and having a Sigel Halloween.  Happy Birthday Mom!

Children's Museum!!

It was a huge bonus when we discovered just how close our house is to the children's museum.  Thank you so much Fiscus family for the membership.  We have already enjoyed it twice!!  The kids love it there.

Where did my baby go??

Grace sure has been moving around A LOT.  She is crawling for sure now and there is no stopping her!! 

 Brother/Sister time!!

Just the other day for the first time when I went into Grace's room after a nap this is what I saw...

SHE'S STANDING!!!  

She is pouting so bad because after  I saw her I had to leave the room to get the camera.  She wasn't very happy with me coming in and then leaving her.  Poor girl!! I scooped her up right after this shot. 

Birthday celebration

As soon as we got here Jeff has been talking about taking the train to the Zoo.  He really wanted to go the weekend before his birthday but we had just gotten all our stuff the Thursday before and I really thought we should use that weekend for unpacking.  So it worked out perfectly that we ended up going ON his birthday.  We took the train there, which for Grant could have been the whole day.  He did enjoy the Zoo and Grace was very interested in everything we were seeing too.

This was the start to our day.  It was quite chilly and this is the face Grant usually gives me when I ask him to smile.  

 I loved watching Grace looking at all the animals!!!!

 This bear was SO active!! It was so neat to see. 

 

After a long, fun day this is how Gracie fell asleep.  She couldn't have given Daddy a better birthday gift!!
