Halloween and Snow!

Guess what? I'm updating our blog! It's about time. I guess I'll start off with a picture of how big my baby boy is getting. This is Cole about two weeks ago, at my parent's house. He's now 7 1/2 months old and over 14 pounds! He is a very happy and content baby that is loving the fact that he's learning how to crawl, but not loving his first teeth he's trying to cut. Next up, Halloween. These pictures in this post are in backwards order (time wise), but I don't feel like fixing them right now. I don't have any great pictures of the kids in their costumes, but Cailin went as a princess riding a unicorn, Katie went as a Monkey, Elijah went as a cowboy riding a horse (but the horse was hard to keep on, so he sort of just went as little boy wearing a cowboy hat), and Cole was a bat.


And then the snow! A few days before Halloween we had a crazy huge snow storm that brought 2+ feet of snow to our town. This is the "snow monster" that hung over our roof. The day it got hot enough for it to start to melt, I kept hearing snow bombs hit the bushes below us as this snow would fall off in chunks.
David plopped Elijah in the snow, but Elijah didn't like that much.
Cole wanted to join in on the fun.
The girls playing in the snow. Cailin would do these Rockettes-type kicks to try to walk through it. As far as house hunting stuff goes, we were outbid on a couple houses (they went for 15-45k over asking price), so we're still in an apartment for a while. We are hoping that we can start doing some more serious looking after the first of the year. We want to find something that is within a 20 minute drive for David to get to work. These apartments aren't so bad, and it'll be worth being in them for a bit longer if we find a house that can meet our needs, and that we are happy with.
