Thanksgiving at Preschool

Mary Joyce walking in with her classmates...


Katherine walking in...I know this picture is blurry, but it was too funny with her headband down over her eyes. :-)


Katherine and her Classmates, Ready to Sing


I don't realize how tiny she is until I see her with other kids her age.

New Bike Helmets!

We finally got the girls bike helmets. It was dark when we got home from the store, so they wore them in the house to watch cartoons. It was a couple of days later before they could actually put them to use because the weather was not being very cooperative.

At the Park with our China Group

These pictures are from the monthly gathering for our local China adoptive families group.

Trick-or-Treat 2010

We took the kids trick-or-treating tonight since we aren't able to go on Sunday evening. We just went around to the homes of a few people we know well who didn't mind us coming a day early. And here are the traditional, pre-trick-or-treating pictures...

I love Malcom's facial expression in this one, and it is the better of the group photos of Mary Joyce.


This one is better of Katherine and Malcom, though.

Our Travel Group Girls: 2010 Edition

This is the most recent collage of the girls from our China travel group. The girls will all turn 5 between November and January and live all over the U.S. There is one more in our group, but I didn't get a picture from them this time. If they send me one later, I will add it.

Meow!

I found this cute little kitty at the preschool yesterday after their Fall Festival. I thought I would bring her home with me. :-)



Mary Joyce almost always picks out a kitty face when there is face paint, and Katherine never wants to have hers painted. Needless to say, I wasn't surprised when I picked them up on Friday.

Pumpkin Patch 2010

We made our yearly trek to the pumpkin patch this evening. It was a beautiful day for it, too. The kids had a great time looking at all of the pumpkins. Malcom picked up his little one, carried it around for awhile, and then took it back to the pile. He did this at least 3 times. He also tossed it once and said, "Ball!" It was fun, though. Enjoy the pictures!

Guess who is 18 months old today?
