Street Excavation

On Monday the excavators returned to start cutting out the street for our new house. It has been quite a process! They first had to remove barricades since 3 streets dead end along the right-of-way, then they stretched out an erosion barrier along the perimeter of the alley. The streets will still dead end around ours, but we will be able to create nicer barricades using shrubs and boulders.
Some neighbor boys came over to see if Ronan could play, and when I went outside to check on them I found them all standing on the side of the house watching the workers. They stayed there for the longest time!

They will be working the rest of the week grading, compacting, and prepping for the asphalt which should be laid before Thanksgiving!!

Birthday Boys

Cohen and his Mama at his Birthday Party! Becca made an awesome frog cake for his special day. It was so cute! Happy 2nd Birthday!

Kenton, Katrina, and Finn on his 1st Birthday!

Finn wanted to blow out his candle the whole time we were singing Happy Birthday, so as soon as the song was over he blew it out on the first try! He loved his cupcake and ice cream!

What a Halloween!

Josh was the star on Halloween morning when he danced as Michael Jackson in Thriller with some of his co-workers. It was amazing! You have to check it out (: I was so proud of him for being brave enough to do it, especially since he is so new at EWEB. I think more people know who he is now and can see how COOL he is! Click here to watch the performance if you want to.

After work Josh met us at the 5th Street Public Market for trick-or-treating. Ronan was dressed at Darth Vader and Griffin was a Rooster. Ronan only kept his mask on for a few minutes, and as the evening went on he got down to just his pants and shirt. Oh well (:

From there we went to the hospital with the Greens to see Grandpa at work. Ethan and Macey looked so cute in their costumes (Yoda and a pumpkin).

Then we made our rounds to Grammie's and then to Memaw and Papa's house where we met up with the Chases and Henrys. All the kids looked great in their costumes! Aaron & Becca and Katrina & Kenton were dressed up too...again great costumes!

Finley, the Dragon

Sadie was dressed as Snow White

Tyler was an Armor Bat and Cohen was a cute little Doggy

Aaron and Becca dressed as Danny and Sandy from Grease for the bank's 50's theme. And the Henrys dressed up as a Prince, Princess, and a Dragon....so cute!

Griffin's 1st Steps!

We caught some of Griffin's 1st steps on video tonight! Here he is walking to big brother, Ronan, who is enticing him with grapes.

Preschool Fun

I went to school with Ronan on Halloween to help out with his pumpkin party. It was a lot of fun being back in a preschool classroom and watching Ronan enjoy his first school party. He worked so hard on his little art project and was excited that he got to be the line leader. I'm sure his favorite part of the day was getting to decorate a cookie with as much frosting and sprinkles as he wanted (:
Keep watching for more Halloween posts...
