Smile

Gloria is a regular smiler now but this is the first one we caught on camera!

Too cute!

Sisters! matching world shirts and blue jeans.

Friend trip

Caleb had a conference in Ft Worth so we stay with Carrie and family and Alisa came to visit too. Big kids-Luke, Lydia and Michael and babies-Claire and Gloria. Luke & Lydia enjoyed pushing each other and taking the other's toys :) Michael didn't want to pose in the bathtub. Only two of the five kids got injuries-neither were mine and only one was inflicted by Lydia.

Halloween

We had a good time handing out candy at our home and Lydia trick or treated at two neighbors. She was an Omani princess (a traditional outfit that a friend's mom gave my mom when they came to visit us). Gloria had a pumpkin onesie and black cat accessories. There is also cousin Jonathan who was a skunk (I don't think he was too impressed) that we saw at my parents house, it was a great photo shoot.

Lydia's Political Endorsement

hehehe I (Elizabeth) couldn't resist and as Auntie Kathy says-our family shouldn't discuss politics because we all just cancel out each other's votes anyway.

Little Pumpkins

Caleb's family came to visit and we went to a pumpkin patch-Gloria slept the whole time. We also took her to a restaurant-hamburgers & ice cream)

Big sister & little sister

Lydia and Gloria exchanged big sister and little sister baby dolls. Now Lydia wants the one she gave Gloria to always be by her side, we were all in the kitchen and watched out to find Gloria like this (she is asleep under there)
