We Have Big News
So, I can hear folks saying...where have you been? Why no updates?
It's been busy, I suppose. Getting back from PA, we had to go back to the business of getting back to our normal lives. Then, there was Halloween. Last year, the boy was pretty oblivious to the holiday. This year, he was totally appreciative of the multitude of candles that his mother lit around the house.
Amy's Jack 'o Lanterns in Action
His grandmother bought him two costumes, seen here. The first is a pterodactyl-like dinosaur. It's a cute costume, but it was a little on the large side.
Ptero-Stephen
The second costume is a frog. While it fit somewhat better than the dinosaur, Stephen hated the hood/head of the thing. He tolerated it for a few photos, and I drove him over to his grandma's so that Uncle Jimmy could take him to a couple of houses for treats. I guess the experience was somewhat unsettling, because Stephen was only able to tolerate two houses before he declared that he wanted to go back to grandma's.
Look out! It's Frog Boy!
Back home, Amy was all ready to give out treats to little ghosts and goblins. Only thing was, we didn't get a single trick or treater. Not one. Since we moved into this apartment (many, many years ago), the number of little ghosts and goblins has steadily decreased each Halloween. Still, I think this was the first time we didn't get a single hit.
Stephen Admires the Goodies at It's A Grind
So Halloween is behind us, but that isn't the big news I mentioned in the title of this entry. The big news is that we've got a second child on the way, due to arrive in March. We've also learned that the newest member of our family is going to be a little girl. Stephen is going to be a big brother.

I don't suppose there's much more to say beyond that. Wish us luck.
