Halloween NightWow, so much to tell. October was as busy as ever. We were able to go to the pumpkin patch with the whole family. We celebrated Hannah's birthday while we were there. Aunt Lori and Uncle Michael met Kate for the first time. Jack and his cousins had fun on the hay ride and inflatable slides. Then everyone picked out their pumpkins for Halloween. Memere made Jack a Jedi costume for Halloween. Jack got to wear it at the school carnival and then for trick-or-treating on Halloween night. He got a lot of candy. Miss Kate dressed up, took her pictures, and was off to bed.
Jack and Kate are doing well. Jack has been practicing riding his bike and getting better. Kate is now sitting up by herself (pretty well.) She is eating in a highchair and is enjoying the swing outside. She is also getting her first teeth. We can finally see them coming through.
We also enjoyed four great days off this last weekend. We were able to catch up on life and have a little fun too. We went to the zoo, the mall, and Kate got her first pictures taken. I start parent-teacher conferences this week, so life at the Gates household continues to be as busy, but exciting. We are all looking forward to our Thanksgiving break!
