So the big Halloween party at Louise was again a wonderful event. The one thing I did notice was how different this year was due to the fact that all the babies were now toddlers.

Cezanne was the fairy princess and please note the costume, made by hand by Lanelle with help from Ouma & Aunty Celeste…

The following photos were taken by the professional photographer.

With fall fast approaching and the autumn winds blowing through Naperville it can mean only one thing…

Time for Louise’s ( Mikey’s Mom ) annual Halloween / Dress Up Party. In preparation for the big event and the photo opportunities Lanelle took Cezanne for a photo shoot today as a test run… The result - very limited cooperation - but in the end our one free shot turned out great !

On Sunday we went to a Pumpkin Farm to see the animals in the petting zoo, ride the train through the corn field, take a hay ride and get some good old fashion pie ! We were joined by Jana, Jeffery, Abigail, Desi, Dan and Clark. The animals were a highlight except maybe the “cock-a-doodle do” (hens & roosters) who must have decided that Cezanne’s fat little finger poking through their cage was too tempting to resist and so they gave it a good “peck”. Cezanne was more shocked / disgusted than anything else and wailed for a few minutes but was soon over it and off to explore the rest of the farm with her pals.

There was a slow start to the day on Sunday. After breakfast Mommy showed Cezanne how cool stickers are and stuck some on her PJs. This was just so interesting and Cezanne spent a good few minutes playing with them.

Here are a few shots of the silliness in the kitchen…

Cezanne and I went to Tot Rock today because Mommy went to a big sale.

It was a lot of fun - Cezanne was dressed in her new red hoody and looked too cool.

Finally the house and the routine is returning to normal after a couple of crazy weeks.

First the 10 days in France, which was followed by 3 weeks with Ouma & Aunty Celeste, and then more recently, Uncle Werner all staying with us and that just made life more interesting…

We are sad to see them all leave and hope they all had fun. Cezanne did miss them - the house was quiet and she was left to settle for Mom & Dad… She’ll get over it

Swim class this week with Mommy went well but the weather has now turned and fall and winter are on the way !
