Neighborhood Halloween Parade

Video from Claire's (err, I mean Elmo's!) first Neighborhood Halloween Parade!

Pumpkin Carving!

Pumpkin Farm: Part 1

Claire has a thing for pumpkin farms. This year, she's due for three different visits to a pumpkin farm.

Here's a quick video from our first stop this year, along with a link to a video from a similar trip last year ... when we had Claire home only for about a week or so.

Gotcha Day Celebration

We had a wonderful Gotcha Day celebration at our favorite Chinese restaurant (The Gourmet House). We met up with the Marquardt family, who we travelled to China with last October. God blessed the Marquardts with Maddie (age 3), and He blessed us with Claire. A fun evening recounting the memories of our trip to China a year ago, and what life has been like since as a forever family!

Fire Safety Day!

Big day for Claire and her pre-school pals ... Fire Safety Day. Includes real firefighters in all their equipment, real fire trucks, learning your address, learning how to dial 911, and what to do in case of a fire.

Pre-School Fun: September

Claire's PreSchool Fun from September ... big themes on Johnny Appleseed, and creating "Mat Man."
