Woohoo...it's NOVEMBER and today Luke is
20-months old!!

Goodness. I love this sweet babe!

It was rainy most of Halloween. Sam was a skeleton and Luke was Frankenstein (the monster...not the doctor). We still had a great time, and if you didn't see the pics, you can click HERE.

My Niece is 22-years old, so she went to a fun costume party on Halloween. I was very proud of her creativity. Can you guess what she was?

I finally got my thank you cards prepared for Abby's & Aja's vet and crematorium. I think they turned out great and I hope the staff at both places like seeing these beautiful (and healthy) captures of our girls. We still miss them so much.

Here's the cover of the card...


We had such amazing experiences with the two companies (in spite of everything) that it was important to me, to not only thank them, but show them just how special our girls really were.

(I adore Scrapblog.com, and it just keeps getting better. If you aren't familiar with the site, you definitely should be!)

I'm thinking that every week, I will include a photo of something "Dina". Here's the one for this week...

Sam's kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Saniatan, had a birthday on Wednesday. We planned a little surprise for her during snack-time, and I think she was definitely surprised.

It's so much fun to see the kids in a structured environment. I always leave amazed by the power of a teacher!

Our neighborhood is having the annual Chili Cook-Off on Saturday. It's the first big event in here since "The Flood" and we are really looking forward to it. The weather is supposed to be great, and the green-space and trails are beginning to look like they did in August. (Thanks to a ton of hard work!)

What do YOU have planned this Fall weekend?



Check back on Sunday b/c I'm posting my necklace giveaway. It would make a great Christmas gift! Just saying.

I love your blog! We did the same Cereal Killer costume for my husband a couple of years ago. It was a hoot, we had so much fun.
Luke is adorable, and your cat Aja looks JUST like my cat Lilly!

It's nice that things are finally getting back to normal here since the flood. It was really horrible there for a while; any rain just caused more problems.

Enjoy the chili. It is supposed to be a great weekend for it! :)

Thanks for sharing the link to Scrapblog.

I hadn't heard of that one before! :)

Thanks for the comment! I'm hoping to nurse as long as he wants. Nursing as those top teeth grow in has been a challenge, but nothing worth doing is easy.

It took me way too long to figure out what the bead picture was. I think that means it's time to go to bed. Have a fabulous weekend, enjoy the chili!
