Happy Halloween!

First we stopped by my grandparent's house where Charlotte got to see my dad (papaw) dressed up as a zombie. She thought it was great.

Then we went to our friend's house, The Ansells, and joined their family for Trick-or-Treating.

Charlotte did great following the other kids and saying "thank you" after receiving her treats.

Then things started to wind down, get dark, and Charlotte started to get very cranky. Thus ending our adventure in trick-or-treating. She did last an hour so that's something!

In other news: Charlotte's crib has now been upgraded to a toddler bed! No more bars keeping her in. So far, so good. No sneaking out or unwanted house roaming upon waking up from naps/bedtime. We plan on heading down to TN for Thanksgiving this year and staying up in Indiana for Christmas. In the spring we're going to be visiting Australia! Excited about seeing family. Not so excited about the loooong plane trip with a toddler. ;) Now to get those passport photos taken...

Fall

What better way to celebrate fall than by posting pictures from Fall's Park in Pendleton, IN?

Rest of the album.

Charlotte turned 2!

We celebrated Charlotte's 2nd birthday first with family on her actual birth date and then with friends and family at a local state park 2 days later. Here are some photos from our family celebration:

The weather was beautiful for our Sunday event and we couldn't have asked for much more than that! Here are some photos from Sunday's event taken by a friend:

The playground was right next to our rented shelter and the kids spent a good hour playing on it. I think it was a huge hit!

I am pretty sure she stole that drink from Caleb since I never gave her a drink pouch. ;)

She got one of the largest slices and was in awe.

The rest of the Sunday set: http://gallery.evilgeni.us/v/Family/CIA/year3/ang2/ taken by our awesome friend Angela.

We have amazing friends and family and are truly thankful. Thanks to everyone who came and our wonderful family overseas!

piano

Guess it's a good thing we kept the piano. She appears to have taken an interest in it.

talking

Charlotte's talking a lot more. Some gibberish, some understandable - mostly all of it "toddlerese".

Have a picture. :)



..or two. She's currently getting over a double ear-infection. That's no fun for anyone involved.
