Big beds

A few weeks ago, Stella moved into her big girl bed, a twin bed.

She passed her crib-converted-to-a-toddler bed on to Foster.
Although its been set up in his room for 2 weeks, he refused to sleep for more than a few hours in it.

He would normally wake from a dead sleep in mommy or daddy’s arms as he was being gently lowered into the bed. Occasionally, he would fall back asleep but usually he would just cry until someone gets him out.

Last night, November 25th, he finally slept through the night in his crib. It took some work and ups and downs, but he finally fell asleeo for good around 10:30 and slept until 6:30!

Fingers crossed he does that again soon!

Christmas tree hunting

Our tradition seems to be to cut down our Christmas tree and get it set up the week before Thanksgiving.


We went to the same place we got our tree from last year, Purinton Maple and tree farm.


Stella had a lot if fun picking the right tree. Foster, who was napping when we first arrived, had a nice warm view from his carseat


Daddy helped Stella cut diwn and carry the tree to the car.

Halloween 2017

Last year, mom, dad, Stella and Uncle Cameron dressed up as furry animals for halloween. We had so much fun dressing up together then that we decided to do a group costume again this year.

We choose the wizard of oz characters - Stella was a perfect Dorothy Of Kansas, Foster was the (not-so) cowardly lion, Daddy dressed up as Dorothy's bestfriend the Scarecrow. Thanks to Daddy's creative costume-making skills, Mommy was the Tinman.

It was a little cool out for trick-or- treating but Dorothy and toto made out pretty well.

Stella's school had a little halloween party on Saturday before Halloween.
