Visitors

We had a great time with visitors the first part of November. First our niece came and stayed with us for a week. Hannah loved having someone else to play with! Then my parents came for 4 days. We had a wonderful time with them, even though it rained most of the time. Here is a picture of them playing Whoonu with Hannah.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was lots of fun in our new neighborhood. Lots of people went all out with their decorations, and there was even a haunted house! We had tons of trick-or-treaters, too. Hannah loved trick-or-treating, and Roger enjoyed surprising people when he opened the door to give out candy. He had a lot of people ask him for Whoppers!

Carving Pumpkins

We finally got around to carving pumpkins last night. The boys could do everything themselves this year, so that was great!

Tumwater Falls

Last week, a couple of days before Buddy's surgery (to be neutered), we went for a short walk at the park. Afterward, everyone enjoyed playing on the playground. I think the boys were practicing to be pirates for Halloween!

Goats, Pumpkins, and a Salamander

We took our first trip to Lattin's Cider Mill on Saturday. The kids loved seeing all of the farm animals, feeding the goats, eating apple fritters, and picking out pumpkins! We took home some delicious cider, too!

Where is the perfect pumpkin?
Found it!

When we got home, Alan and Nathan were very excited to find a salamander in our front yard.Hannah wasn't too sure about it, though.

Preschool

Hannah loves her preschool. Here are a few pictures taken by her teachers:
