Happy Halloween!

Trick or treating was fun this year. Both kids got to go out and trick or treat, though Maddie only did a few houses. It seemed fitting that Maddie was a cow since we call her Maddie Moo. She did great, and didn't complain about the costume at all.

Josh was a spooky skeleton. He trick or treated with his buddies in the neighborhood, and dad, while I stayed back to hand out the candy. Don't worry - I wasn't alone! Maddie, Aunt Barb, and Franklin poodle helped pass out candy! I think some of the kids were more excited to see Franklin than the candy! Barb and I worked hard at passing out the candy and trying to stay warm at the same time. Our neighborhood is crazy about Halloween, and it's fun just to see what the kids AND the adults are wearing!

Groff Dance Party

It's pretty funny when they decide to just start dancing. Unfortunately here, they are dancnig to Miley Cyrus on Disney. I don't like the music, but I like to see them dance!

Say Cheese

Need a pick me up? This will help!

October is finally here!

 
I love fall! It truly is my favorite time of year. This month brings our 10th anniversary!! I can't believe we have been married 10 years.
The kids are doing well. We are trying to get Maddie to speak more, and even had her evaluated by First Steps. But, she was borderline on qualifying for speech therapy. That means, as of now, she doesn't get speech therapy. But, if her vocabulary does not increase over the next several months, then she probably will.
Josh is doing well. Soccer is coming to an end soon. Next weekend is his last game. He's enjoyed it, but is never really that focused on the ball. We'll see if he wants to play again next spring. Other than school, he spends a lot of time playing with the neighborhood kids. It's so wonderful to live somewhere where there are tons of children his age he can play with.
