Wonder Woman

Oh my gosh! I've had some very tough cases and have been working really long days at work lately. The success/progress of my work is very intangible. Last night I got home and felt very rewarded and blessed as the house was clean, dinner was ready, and the girls were happy! Suzie also had Raleigh dressed in a pimp-ass Wonder Woman suit. What a riot! I went to bed exhausted but thinking, "You know, I am surrounded by 'wonder women'. My girls, my sitter, my friends...."

And how can one have a super hero without her trusty side kick?

Gracyn

Gracyn is a happy baby. Her nose has been stuffy for a few months now, so she still doesn't sleep that well at night (sometimes waking hourly). Despite her lack of sleep I am amazed at how happy she is during the day!! Sometimes she will go ALL day without a nap and still smile at you whenever you look her way. She is a lot like her daddy!

Halloween P.S.

I love it when other people are into holidays that I don't really care about. I learned that glow sticks are essential and next year will be loading Raleigh up so cars can see her in the dark Montana night. Also, Amanda had dry ice in her punch, a fog machine on her front porch, scary music, and a life size scary man (looked a bit like Frankenstein but I don't think it was) who was passing out candy to the kids. Amanda and Rodney dressed as Frankenstein and his bride. Here's some pics

Happy Halloween

This year was Raleigh's first trick-or-treating experience. I have to admit- she didn't tackle it with the 'Raleigh-flare' we are accustomed to. She was pretty reserved. We went up to Amanda's house (whose favorite holiday is Halloween) and went trick-or-treating in her neighborhood. Raleigh didn't say trick-or-treat once. She just stood in the doorway and let Draven do all the work. After she got her candy she would continue to stand in the doorway until I pulled her away and told her to say thank you.

Here are some pictures of our time. Excuse the Ghetto-ness of Raleigh's costume (I could have painted her face or done something with her hair). I was sick. If it weren't for grandma Raleigh probably wouldn't have had a costume!!
