Happy Halloween!

Bella was a butterfly this year and she enjoyed trick or treating around our neighborhood. She has been practicing saying "trick or treat" for quite a while and she was perfect tonight! Here are a few shots to show her first Halloween out and about.

She is the cutest bug in the world!

Bella has started going to a pre-school two days a week. We are getting her ready for when I return to work......which should be this month! I have accepted a position at the local hospital so i will be starting there and working PRN (as needed) for their PT staff. I am really looking forward to the change and I think Bella is happy about her time at school. These are some shots of the first week, seems happy to me! Thanks Grandma for the backpack.........it is the cutest in the school!!!

John is finally back with us after about four and a half months of being apart. We are all excited to make up for lost time! We have been spending a lot of time up in Cloudcroft for the fall colors and cooler weather (we are still in the 80s daily). These are a few of the pictures we were lucky to have Bella sitting for! Cannot stop this girl when she is on a hike!!

Bella and I were fortunate enough to have some time up in Albuquerque with family the weekend before John came home. The annual Balloon Fiesta was taking place as well as some celebrating for Bella and Yohannes' Birthdays! Bella and Yohannes are beyond awesome together and it is so rewarding to see them growing and changing together. Yohannes is a train man, so the cake was a special treat from Grandma! HUGE HIT with both of them!!!

Bella never misses an opportunity to say "cheeseeeeee"!
