Go Bucks!

We're busy getting ready for our big Thanksgiving trip to the midwest, so here's a very quick entry until we get up.

Dad and the girls rooting for the Buckeyes!



No kidding, Harper's first clap came during this game. Guess she's not a Michigan fan.



In other news, Harper has four teeth coming in up top, and has her two lower teeth in, so these toothless grins are going to be a thing of the past, soon. She's also getting around pretty well as a crawler now, can pull herself up to her knees on an object, and is trying harder than ever to keep up with her big sister.

Have a great holiday, everyone!

Go girls, go!

Ida Jane and Harper have been having a lot of fun lately.

Ida Jane learned how to help make a pizza with Daddy.



She loves to spend time together with Harper.



Ida Jane even climbed up in Harper's crib before bedtime.



Needless to say, it was some time before they went to sleep!

Halloween fun!

Cookie Monster and the Dragon (aka Ida Jane and Harper) enjoyed a wonderful Halloween in Rockville.

First, last Saturday, we had to get out of our Ohio State gear:



And into our costumes for the Spooktacular at Amy's school! Ida Jane had picked out costumes this year for both herself and Harper. Why she made her sister a dragon is anyone's guess.



The dancing was, once again, Ida Jane's favorite part.



Then, this Friday, it was the big night for Trick or Treating! We got all dressed up again.



Then, it was off to see the neighbors. Our first stop was Mary, who has given us treats before, most recently cherry tomatoes from her garden.



A bit of shy anxiety about the process of trick or treating quickly became enthusiasm. Cookie Monster paraded proudly through the neighborhood.



Then it was into our Halloween pajamas. Happy Halloween, everyone!
