Happy Halloween!

This weekend was full of visitors and fun outings. Addy's Grandma Freihaut left on Wednesday after being here for a week. Late Thursday night, Addy's Grandma and Grandpa Schum arrived for an extended weekend visit. Addy got to stay home with grandma and grandpa all day Friday. They even took her to the grocery store in a nearby town. Adalyn certainly had changed since the last time my parents got to see her. They found her very entertaining! I think Addy, grandma, and grandpa all enjoyed their time together on Friday.

We had beautiful weather for Addy's first Halloween. We ended up putting her in her bumble bee costume and taking her out in the neighborhood and around town to a few houses. She suprinsingly kept the antennae on for most of the evening with little protest. We didn't stay out too long because we wanted to get home to see all the trick-or-treaters. We get quite a few in our neighborhood! Addy loved greeting all of the kids and laughed, smiled and pointed at them. Addy didn't get to taste any of the candy that she collected, but she enjoyed playing with it and looking at the shiny wrappers. By the end of the night she was really worn out and had had enough Halloween.

Saturday we went to Bloomington with grandma and grandpa to run some errands. We went to a chinese restaurant and Addy certainly made her presence known. She is much more of a challenge to take to restaurants now. Gone are the days of the sleeping baby in the infant carrier...that's for sure!

We had a great weekend are are so glad that Addy's grandparents could come up for a visit. We are looking forward to seeing more family as we travel home to Indiana over the Thankgiving and Christmas holidays.

Love the pic of Addy and Sarah!

But the part I loved the most was that you went to a chinese restaurant on Saturday. I bet Derek had a great time!
