Happy Birthday/Halloween!!

Well we got to start our Halloween early this year. The kids didn't mind. The downtown businesses have their trick or treating early. Our bunny hopped the whole way there and Yoda wouldn't give up his stick for anything. We did shorten his stick right after this picture so that he wouldn't take his eye out.
Cydney celebrated her 4th birthday. She had such a great time. She got to take donuts as her treat to her preschool friends, wear a fancy dress, go shopping with some birthday money, eat pizza and cake for supper and watch a mooooovie! She woke up the next morning asking if her birthday was that day too! Ahhh...if only!
Here she is discovering her birthday present from us. A doll house. The jury is still out if the gift was for her or me. I had just as much fun setting it up for her. Needless to say I didn't see her much the next day.
We also had fun celebrating Chuseok (the Thanksgiving-like Korean holiday)with many other adoption families a few weeks ago. It was wonderful hanging out with them and meeting some new families as well. The food was terrific (thanks Rachel and Chris for hosting).

We took the kids to my 10 year college reunion. It was wonderful playing around on campus and showing the kids all of our memories.
It has been a fun and busy month (and it's not even over yet!) It is hard to believe that a year ago on Tuesday, Sean and I would have been heading to Korea! What a very very fast and Happy year!!
