Happy Halloween!

We enjoyed our first Halloween as parents by -- you guessed it! -- dressing Natalie up in an adorable monkey costume! We figure we've only got two, maybe three years to choose her costume before she'll have opinions of her own regarding her apparel.

Luckily the rain held out and we were able to participate in our neighborhood's annual Halloween parade and then we headed home to have some chili to warm our bellies before the trick-or-treaters arrived.

Happy Halloween everyone!

The dads and their sweet babies. Andrew and Micah (1 1/2 mo.), Allen and Natalie.


Natalie is "Batty for Daddy!"


Happy Halloween from the Drooly-Monster! Grrrr, scary!!


Natalie and Declan (1 week older than Natalie), all partied out.


I ♥ my little monkey.


Mmmmm....banana.


This scary spider took up residence on our front porch just in time for Halloween.
