Aunt Valerie's Baby Shower

Michael's sister, Valerie, had her baby shower yesterday - Nov. 1! Daniel cannot wait to have a boy cousin and we are looking forward to being an Aunt and Uncle :)

Valerie received a ton of great gifts from her friends and family! Plus we got to see baby Jason again with Tammy!

Trick-or-Treat

Daniel went to my office today for Trick-or-Treat! He loved running around all the different floors and getting candy from everyone (of course he would just stick the candy in his mouth with the wrapper still on). I also discovered that he loved my computer and printer so we might sign him up for a temp job!

Halloween PJs

Halloween Jack o' Lanterns

Michael here - tired after a long day of flying P-40s over China... oh, you thought the Flying Tiger thing was only a costume? ;-)

Saturday night, Daddy got to play the role of Pumpkin lobotomist... doing all I can to bring Halloween joy to Daniel and the neighborhood :-) (No, that wasn't sarcastic).

Seeing Daniel dressed up and scampering about in his tiger costume has been awesome! He obviously doesn't get the whole concept of what is going on this Halloween... maybe somewhat more by next October.

So, without further ado... May I present the O'Lantern family: Evil Jack, Happy Horace, and Little Daniel (Daniel's little pumpkin from the Pumpkin Patch).

Halloween Open House

We went to Jane, Greg and Alex's Halloween Open House today! Daniel had a blast playing with all the balls and running around outside. He especially liked playing with Nicholas (his Gladney buddy) who was teaching him how to roar. Christy and Greg were there with Nicholas (dragon) and the twins (4 months old and dressed up as the wonder twins).

Alex (ninth picture) was adorable in her Little Red Riding Hood costume and Jenny (fourth picture) was cute as ever. Daniel was fascinated by the two mermaids!
