This week has been a crazy and interesting week. 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. I’d just like to mention that Gabby is STILL eating her candy.
Last week, Brendan was introduced to his little bath tub. He took to it a bit better than Gabby did originally. After he gets over the shock of being naked and not cuddled up to us, he’s actually all right in the water.
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. In our little town, there was no line to vote and it went rather quickly. Gabby was really happy that she got a sticker and proudly wore it. Daddy and Gabby also ended up in the MLive web site with the photos you will see below.
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. That’s what Gabby woke up saying. 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?” She had a blast.
It was a longer day for the family. We went to Grand Haven to visit with Crystal’s cousins who were in town for a family emergency. 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.
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.
Her pumpkin ended the night very full. We had a blast watching her walk up to the houses and saying “Trick-or-treat.” 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!”
