Erin at Halloween!!

hmmmmmm....Bert has to check her out...is it Erin or a Lion or something else???

Here is a recent picture of Erin and mommy sitting and having some fun on the stairs. We thought we'd do "ponytails" that day -- Erin's first, little single ponytail. Another first was Erin's first Halloween. We carved pumpkins (no kidding...Steve and Sheila, carved pumpkins) and had a greaat time.

Here are a few pictures of Erin "trick or treating" on her first Halloween! She was a real trooper -- and tolerated the furry cosutme very well. She had a great time and was happy that ELMO came along with her to collect the candy! She actually didn't seem to care as much for the candy as she did visiting with the nice people who came out to say "hi" and sit with her for a spell on their front stoop!

It's been 10 months since Erin was first placed in our arms. It has been an amazing time for all of us, and we promise to update the blog very soon with more pictures and more news! We just wanted to share a few pictures of Erin's first Halloween...she was a lion...and gave a solid "rrrrahhh!" at every house we went to. She seemed to have a very good time, trick or treating with mommy and daddy, and her friend from next door -- J.T. (Harry Potter!) and his mommy, Sandi. The neighbors all thought she was so cute, they kept giving her more candy!! Yikes. She seemed to enjoy just walking on into people's houses and/or sitting on their front door stoop. Overall, we all had a blast! Much love, Steve and Sheila and Erin
