Halloween

Our first Halloween in the new house! We had a ton of trick-treaters ... adorable little princesses, cowboys, butterflies, and monsters...

We waited until the last minute to get halloween decorations and learned a valuable lesson: do NOT wait until the night before Halloween to buy pumpkins! All that was left were a couple of rotten ones. So, we ended up with no pumpkins, but we did have a faux-tombstone with a flashing red light (one of the few things left at BigLots). How fun :)

We met one of our neighbors last night. Her name was Joanne and she had a little cowboy glued to her hip. Seemed really nice. This is going to be a perfect neighborhood to start a family in.

Skateboarding Stephen

One of Stephen's favorite things about our house: the long hill leading down to it. After a long, hard day at work, he loves to blow off steam by longboarding down it. He's kind of adorable when he longboards - looks like a surfer or something. Sometimes people even come out of their houses to watch. Here are some pics:

Our New House

We bought our first house at the end of last month. I don't know if we'll ever be done decorating/remodeling it ("overwhelming" is the word), but it's our home and we love it.
