Claire turns 3 on November 24th, but this year we decided to celebrate in the beginning of November. We had a birthday party at home in Arlington where Claire got to play with some of her cousins and visit with some of her aunts and uncles and grandparents.

Happy Halloween
Colin, Claire, and I, excuse me, I mean Buzz, Woody, and I, were in Alabama this Halloween. We had a great time trick-or-treating in my sister in law, Abby's, parent's neighborhood! Everyone really gets into Halloween in that neighborhood. ALL the houses were decorated (think along the lines of what most houses look like at Christmas, except with gravestones and skeletons hanging around) and they even give out prizes for most spookily decorated! Well, the scary decorations did not deter Colin from practically running from house to house to gather his booty. Claire, on the other hand, was almost stopped dead (haha) in her tracks when she spotted the Grim Reaper behind us. It all ended well with LOTS of candy and a great dinner provided by Aunt Abby's parents. Thanks for a great night!

| John, Jacob, and Abby Merkl |
| This couple makes me and my plastic bowl of candy look really un-festive. |
| Really, every house was decorated. |

The Wedding
As you have discovered over the years, this is a blog mostly dedicated to posting as many pictures and cute stories about my children as possible, but I thought I'd give everyone a break for this one post. My brother got married at the end of October. It was a beautiful wedding deserving of being included here. We welcome Kathy and Emelia into our family and I'm so happy I could be there on that special day.

We spent July 4th at the lake with the McBride cousins. It was lots of fun and the night ended with fireworks! Here are the pictures.
