CDC Trunk or Treat...

The Children's Developmental Center (where Lydia gets her therapy from) has an annual trunk or treat.  So we got dressed up and enjoyed a fun night trick-or-treating, meeting local fireman and police officers, seeing Dusty and Chuck E. Cheese, and even Elsa.

 Pumpkin, Maleficent, and Sleeping Beauty.

 And another little pumpkin...who is making a very strange face in this picture!

Sam works with Lydia about once a month.

This ended up being just what Lydia needed to understand better about Halloween!  Now she's ready for the real thing!

Easy like Sunday morning...

 Talia is kind of like her dad...she enjoys reading the newspaper.  Sunday mornings are her favorite when she can "read" the comics.  This particular Sunday she read them to Karisa!

 I'm attempting (big emphasis on that word) to get back into exercising...but someone keeps still my ipod!

Doesn't she just look so squeezable in this picture!!!???

Saturday in Seattle...

On Saturday we got to hang out with cousins...the girls love being with Kevin and Megan's kids.

Cousins playing piano.

 They live about 5 minutes from Snoqualmie Falls so we headed over to see it since the morning was about as beautiful as it can get on a fall day!

 It wasn't raining it just felt like it because there was so much mist!

On our way home from the Sidwar's we stopped to say hi to Grandma Great on her 88th birthday!  Grandpa got some pizza for dinner and we had a nice visit.  We sure do love Grandpa and Grandma Great!

Weekend in Seattle...

We had to return to Seattle for Lydia's second round of botox.  The girls have been wanting to go with us so we made the appointment on a no school Friday and made it a family event!  Lydia had a rougher time with the injections this time...one of the 3 is pretty painful.  Once we got past the screaming and kicking, and the injections were done, she calmed down.  Plus, we had fun things to go do!  We made our way over to the aquarium to see the sea life!

 I think the tide pools are my favorite part...I love that the kids can touch stuff.

 Jelly fish.

 There are seals in the water behind them...but they're fast swimmers so they were harder to get a picture of.

 Cute otters!

 An Orca sized fin!

 Looking out over the ocean!

 If I didn't laugh every time I looked at this picture I probably would have deleted it.  But Lydia's face shows too much of what her stubborn little personality is like right now.  At least Eliza didn't notice Lydia was throwing darts from her eyes right at her.  Sigh.

 We had a good time at the aquarium...and it was a beautiful fall day in Seattle.  After we were finished we headed to Kevin and Megan's!
