This is Eloise's pumpkin. She wanted stars for the eyes. She is trying them on to see how star eyes look on her

While we werre cleaning up pumpkin stuff, Eloise was teaching Abigail how to raid the fruit loops

Abby is checking out the finsihed products. According to Eloise, the pumpkins are Daddy, Eloise, and baby Abby.

Abby quickly moved from looking the pumpkins over to getting a little more hands on

After the party

Halloween was a beautiful sunny day here in California. Eloise is enjoying riding her bike. She likes to go up and down or street, or better yet, around the block. She has discovered braking and starts and stops frequently.

This is Eloise and her friend Claire.In normal life claire is sweet and quiet, Eloise is the more wild one. They reversed rolls for Halloween.

Abby was fittingly charming in her kitty costume, roaming and growling and chasing ballons

We visited the zoo with grandma and Grampa. We came on a day when the lorikeets were extra excited about getting a treat. Eloise and Grandma had fun ffeding the birds. Abby had fun watching.

Eloise wanted to show every one the picture with the lorikeet "RIGHT ON TOP OF MY HEAD!"

Abby loves to put things on her head. washclothes, dirty socks... anything will do. But I think she gets particularly excited about thing she knows are meant to be there

She was very pleased when she got the head-band on and it stayed

Eloise finally got to visit Pirate Island at Disneyland when we went with her cousins this month. Here she is climbing with John (R) and Andrew (L)

Abby has recently discovered the joy of going to the park. Here she is enjoying the swings on Thanksgiving day

We enjoyed a very nice Thanksgiving weekend here in California.

Abby and Eloise both enjoyed helping to set up the Christmas tree. Abby loved cuddling with our tree skirt. Eloise loved helping with the ornaments
