Halloween

Halloween Party at Grant's Farm

This October, Madeline, Ryan, and I went to the Halloween part at Grant's Farm with our friends Laura, Tom, and Paige. Madeline and Paige dressed up in their Halloween costumes and had a great time together.

Ridley's Day at the Pool

Ridley had a great end of the summer. Right before they drained the Kirkwood pool, they let all the dogs in for one last swim.

Lake with the Donaldson's

In August, Ryan, Madeline, and I went to the Lake of the Ozarks with Megan, Dan, Mr. and Mrs. D, Katie, Megan's sister-in-law, Ginger, and her daughter, Mia. Madeline and Mia became good friends!

Madeline's 4th Birthday Wedding Shower

For Madeline's birthday, she asked for a wedding shower! She got one, complete with a veil, wedding cake, chocolate fountain and chocolate covered blackberries! Here are some pictures from her party.

Dianne made her a beautiful veil that she wore while opening gifts. (Yes, that is a Dora birthday hat underneath!)

City Museum

Madeline and I spent a fun day at the City Museum. We went with Aunt Gina and 5 kids she was babysitting. Madeline loved playing with the "big kids"--Katie, Jessica, Annie, Verity, and Jack!

Ridley didn't get to go to Florida, but he is having a fun summer in his pool.


He loves having friends over.
