This week has been a crazy and interesting week. Â Gabby’s first chance at Trick-or-Treating in a neighborhood, our first African-American president was elected, and Brendan had his first bath.
The previous post talks about Halloween, so I’ll leave that out of this post. Â I’d just like to mention that Gabby is STILL eating her candy.
Last week, Brendan was introduced to his little bath tub. Â He took to it a bit better than Gabby did originally. Â After he gets over the shock of being naked and not cuddled up to us, he’s actually all right in the water. Â
Through all of this, Gabby has been more than willing to help clean her little brother! (although right now she’s battling a cold so we’re trying to keep a bit of distance between the two of them)
On election day, we took a family trip to vote. Â In our little town, there was no line to vote and it went rather quickly. Â Gabby was really happy that she got a sticker and proudly wore it. Â Daddy and Gabby also ended up in the MLive web site with the photos you will see below. Â
Â
A week of firsts and a lot of changes happening.  Gabby is getting bigger every day, our little Brendan is almost a month old, and our government will soon not look anything like it did last week.  Change is good!
Trick-or-treat. Â That’s what Gabby woke up saying. Â The first thing she asked me when I got her out of her crib was, “When can we put on our costumes and go trick-or-treating?” Â She had a blast.
It was a longer day for the family. Â We went to Grand Haven to visit with Crystal’s cousins who were in town for a family emergency. Â While in town, Don, Dustin, and I went up to deer camp to clear out our blinds and get ready for deer season in a couple of weeks. Â
In order to keep things from being too crazy and risk Gabby missing her trick-or-treating, we decided to stay in Grand Haven for the candy getting. Â
Her pumpkin ended the night very full. Â We had a blast watching her walk up to the houses and saying “Trick-or-treat.” Â We had practiced what to say so much that she forgot to say thank you as we were leaving; all she would say was, “Trick-or-treat!”
