Reading

Unfiltered early literacy when you have older siblings.  Bring on Star Wars...

and Ninjago!  If you're unfamiliar with either topic, feel free to swing by for lessons in either (or both!).

Grandparents

Grandparents are awesome people and it's been a treat spending time with both Meg's parents and my mom.  They have so much love to give and we have kiddos that are so ready to receive it.

Grandpa Garry and Grandma Linda's first visit with Iver.

Halloween Festivities

We had an excellent Halloween -- complete with a trip downtown to the courthouse for our adoption hearing, an energetic party at the dojang, and friends and family over to our house for a chili dinner and trick or treating.  Fun times all around!

The reason for our trek downtown.

Iver's adoption is final.  (Check out Anders and Jorja's ninja costumes).
