Happy Birthday to Daddy!

It's going to be a howling Halloween!

Today is James's birthday, and a holiday too! (I can picture him as a little boy trick or treating..."trick or treat.....oh, and today is my birthday too....")
Happy
Birthday
, James, we love you!

At the moment, I'm undecided how I want to celebrate Halloween with the little ones...
....stay home and make ghosts with Joseph and Chloe
....photo some festively decorated lawns before the decorations are stored away
....go to Dad's (and risk getting them sick...I better not....)
.... find other little ones treating in the area on Halloween

We'll see how the day plays out. Joseph will love running around in a costume for the next month, even if no candy is involved (he won't know the difference). And, Chloe, she will love being a princess or a pumpkin, or a pumpkin princess, for her first Halloween.

The other night before reading books and before bed time, James put on a show for the three of us to enjoy. Spontaneous, full of laughter and love. With Chloe on my right (leg) and Joseph on my left, we sat in anticipation for some entertainment from Daddy. James juggled his colorful bean bag balls way up in the air, spinning them, and even did a toss or two under his leg. Joseph sat in merriment with his eyes glued to James! And Chloe, well, let's just say she enjoyed it more than anything! She tensed up her body with excitement, squealed and kicked her little legs with glee! Very cute! It's just one of those precious priceless moments that I'll remember for a long time to come.

Until the next show, and when the camera is on point, this picture will have to substitute (he's almost as cute as James):



Would you like to see a future juggling act, too? or pictures of how we spent our Halloween?

I just sent James a birthday message on myspace and was wondering what you guys are doing for Halloween. What's Joseph's costume? Ollie is wearing his pumpkin onesie and we are only going to Walmart today for some shopping and that's it. His gran will have to come over here for some Halloween celebration. Take lots of pics today!!! I think you should do something crafty with the kiddos. Maybe take Joseph to a house or two to introduce him to trick or treating, that's be fun, too. HAVE FUN!!!

We would love to see pictures! Joseph's Birthday will be here soon, too! We will keep Emily's Birthday Party small again this year - a little bigger though than last year. Back then we were still in absolute strict isolation.
We love your website!
Happy Birthday James!!!
