Last weekend we went to our ward's trunk-or-treat party.
Eddie wore his Tigger costume from last year, since we hadn't purchased his new costume yet. It was really short, as you can see, and really hard to zip up, but we managed! He loved it! He loved his tail, especially!
Peter wore these cute Halloween jams.
If he was given a choice, he almost always chose a sucker. After we were done getting candy, he sat here opening one sucker at a time and giving them one lick each. He also tried his first gum and, of course, swallowed it!
We went trick-or-treating last night with our neighbors. Eddie was excited since he knew all about trick-or-treating.
He wore a fireman costume, which we thought was good for him since he loves fire so much. I tried to empty his pumpkin of the candy from last weekend before going. He didn't like that one bit and refilled it. Later last night I realized he also put one of his trucks and his fire extinguisher in his pumpkin!
So adorable!
Peter was my little bundle of joy, as he was more bundled than he has ever been since his days in the hospital. Ben thought I was bundling up our children too much, but their little fingers ended up cold. I guess I didn't bundle them enough.
We had fun. Eddie soon was leading us to doorsteps rather than the other way around. If he was given a choice, and they had candy kisses (which many houses had, to our surprise), that is what he chose. He was happy and cheerful the whole time, though it was late. He loved seeing the moon.
We had a few minor incidents that upset us, like an older child trying to steal candy from Eddie's pumpkin, even though I was right there with him. We had fun overall, though!
My big brother, Mark, and his girlfriend, Trina, got engaged last weekend. I am so excited! When I found out, I couldn't stop jumping! Trina is great-such a generous and thoughtful person, just like Mark. I love Mark so much! I am so happy for them! They are talking about a May wedding. And what a beautiful ring!
We have nothing to worry about when Eddie needs glasses; he will be stinkin' cute!
I love this kid!
Our neighbors gave us this little couch. Eddie loves it! He sits on it when we read scriptures each night. 
Eddie and Peter look pretty cute sitting on it together. Peter isn't sold on it, though!
Here's a picture of Eddie and Brent, taken while we were gone. You can tell that Eddie isn't feeling like himself. Look how stiff he looks! See his sad eyes! Brent, on the other hand, doesn't seem to miss us one bit!
Peter and Abby were really cute together. They always ended up by each other on the floor. They would grab each other and take toys back and forth from each other. They never cried about it. They were really cute to watch. And Ben's pretty cute, too!
Here we are on a boat ride at some outdoor Disney store. We were on the boat when the sun was setting. It was really beautiful!
And I had to include this picture of Shanda! It makes me laugh every time I see it!
I prepared the cereal and set it down for a moment while I went to grab something. When I returned I saw that Eddie had given Peter his bowl and spoon, expecting Peter to feed himself. Instead Peter dumped the cereal on his tray and really enjoyed rubbing it around. Eddie was sad Peter had spilled his cereal. I realized how different this is all going to be the second time around. 
Peter wore his first bib and did not like it at all. He took it off every chance he got.
