Halloween - Take 2

Many towns postponed trick-or-treating because of the freak snow storm that knocked out power to many residents.  So, the week after Halloween, we went trick-or-treating for a second time with Clara's friend, Anna.  Clara was excited to dress up as Tinkerbell again and hang out with Rapunzel.

Two Weeks

Charlie is 18 days old today, but who's counting.  He had his first doctor's appointment yesterday morning.  He weighed nine pounds and measured 21-3/8 inches, which means he gained one pound and seven ounces and grew 3/8 of an inch since we left the hospital.  He's a pretty good sleeper and we're all thankful!

After the daycare party, we went trick-or-treating with our neighbors.  Jared and I thought Clara might last a couple houses and we'd be off the hook, but once she realized what trick-or-treating was all about, we were in for the long haul.  Clara was running from house to house.  It took all we had to keep up with her.
