(it was a wonderful time!)

a video:

Emi tries to crawl,
gets tired for a bit,
tries to crawl some more,
thinks for a moment,
and then chews her finger.

Lately it seems our funny little family has been a
little *too* funny...


...we needed to catch up on some sleep!

what we did on halloween ( a flashback )...


First, we had a party with all our friends:


















sen before the party

halloween babies!

trick or treating in the backyard buildings

yes, sen dressed up as spider-man
for halloween ( no elton john this year...)

...then, a couple of days later we went trick or treating...

emi's first time

trick or treating (sen's third)

Finally, Sen left a big basket of candy for the goblins on halloween night and got many wonderful spooky presents instead:

hot chocolate before sunrise the day after halloween

*the end*

my lucky day

Tonight I stood in the living room and rocked Sen to sleep while singing to him - I even got away with some songs he used to stop me from singing. Sometimes I almost feel sad at how fast Sen and Emi are growing up, but I then I feel so lucky that they just keep getting more and more amazing...

just look at them!

**pinch!**
