This Joy’s Life

This sounds like a really bad joke, but instead it was a very fun Halloween for Clara, Nadia and Jack who really started to get into Halloween and the concept of yelling “Trick or Treat!!” and getting candy.

There was no shortage of ladybug costumes out there this Halloween, but Clara’s was above and beyond the best for being homemade by her grandmother. Too cute. LOL!

We met Nadia and Jack at the U-Village, an open air shopping area for to start off our trick or treating adventure. Clara and Nadia really enjoyed their lollipops. And Jack couldn’t stop looking in his UPS box at all the candy he was getting!

Well, girl, you made it to the “terrible twos” and it hasn’t been “two” terrible so far Here’s hoping it stays that way. Why be the rule when you can be the exception?

Let’s look back at the big birthday weekend you had: Family BBQ on Friday night and a birthday playdate with all your friends today. Who did we sing Happy Birthday to? “To youuuu!” “Cake? OK.” “More cake? OK.”

Bal-oons! On the run with Dora the Explorer Nadia and Luke at the sand table
Carter: Hmmm, birthdays = presents. Me likey.
Mason just can’t escape his paparazzi Jack and Clara in the ball pool
More ball pool, Luke? Ok. I see you lookin’, Evan.
It’s not a party until someone’s got food on their face! Right, Ava?

We hosted a Baby Shower for Jenn today. Enjoy the pix!

I’ve got a few pictures to post. The first is of Jenn Ling in her preggers state – only 11 weeks or so to go!

You’ll see that Jenn and Jack Devereux (4 months) are in competition to see who can become the roundest:

The jury is still out on that one . . . Marie Antoinette said, “Let them eat cake!” and Nadia Hutson took that to heart on her first birthday, as you can see:



News on the Clara front you won’t find shocking – She’s fast becoming a “daddy’s girl”:

Caution! Kids at Play!
