Between travel (NYC and ATL) and work (two of my biggest weddings of the year were last weekend), October flew by! The end of the month was marked by my birthday and lots of celebrating!
We had dinner with grandma and grandpa on my birthday eve (grandpa even got you a special dress for the occasion, with cats on it!), and then enjoyed a cozy night at home, just you, me and daddy, on my birthday. And the following Saturday, your dad outdid himself and made the best dinner! Aunt Jeannie was in town, so she even came, along with grams, grandpa, auntie Gina and uncle Taylor, Isla and Louis. Then on Monday grams watched you while daddy and I went to see one of our very very favorite bands, Buena Vista Social Club. It was wonderful, but I missed you terribly, of course! And Maeve, this was the best birthday of my life, because you were in it!
We ended the month with your very first Halloween. You were a mermaid, daddy was a merking and mommy was a shark! We met up with grams and grandpa at Isla and Louis' house Saturday afternoon (Halloween). We walked around the neighborhood trick-or-treating with the whole gang. You went to two houses and got a box of raisins and a candy bar. I ate the candy bar (sorry!) but don't have the heart to eat the box of raisons. I kind of want to keep it forever. I know. Weird and gross but I can't help but be sentimental! It is, after all, your first Halloween treat! Speaking of Halloween treats, grams and grandpa got you the coolest teething toy, which was such a timely gift since...YOU GOT YOUR SECOND TOOTH!
