On Halloween night, we went to our friend Mike Maiste's neighborhood because they do Halloween right! Almost all the neighbors decorate their homes and stand outside to give out candy. Mike invited a lot of our friends over for what has become somewhat of a tradition of giving out candy and then watching a scary movie together. This year Mackinzie was joined by Ian, the baby dragon, and Addy, (Barney) the dinosaur. Ian belongs to our good friends, Dustin & Stacey and Addy is Dave & Cindy's niece.
Kinzie dressed in her Yoda costume again and I got to dress as Han Solo... again!
We had some fun with other kids dressed as Storm Troopers and Boba Fetts. Another part of this Halloween tradition is giving out odd foods to kids who might be just a little too old to be trick-or-treating. This year some of those kids got slices of cheese, thawed hot dogs, and unfrozen freezy-pops. We ended the night with a viewing of "The Strangers".A couple days later, the weather turned unusually warm, so we had an afternoon of wiffle ball in the front yard.
My softball season(s) have long since ended, so it was nice to get a little mid-autumn practice in.
She can even hit with her eyes closed!

On this past Saturday, Mackinzie had her weekly ballet class. It was a dreary, rainy morning, so it was looking like our photo appointment with Aunt Mandy might be cancelled, but the clouds opened up and the sun came out and we made our way to Canton.
These are just two samples of Mandy's work. A few more can be seen at Mandy Sroka Photography. Click on the "blog" section of her site.
Mandy does such a great job! These pictures were taken for Mackinzie's third birthday.
We highly recommend her for your photography needs!
Here is one of Mackinzie's 2 year old pictures that Mandy did for us last year.

Kinzie's outfit for church yesterday demanded a photo be taken. She was a little grumpy, but the face kind of fit her "Next Top Model" look for the day.
We have our third Fifth-related sonogram this Friday (3rd out of 5). Please keep us in your prayers! If we're lucky, we'll get to find out if we're having a boy or girl on that day!
We also have a big family-related day coming up a week from today (next Monday). I will likely be able to post some details on that next week, but in the meantime some prayer for our family would be greatly appreciated.
