Missy is to my right. Missy was the boys main care nurse when they were in the NICU Level II Nursery at Presbyterian St. Lukes Hospital. We have become really good friends with them and they have visited the boys often. What another great story to tell our boys.

Grim Reaper Bobble Head: Craig Bale
Zombie: Kieran Coyle
Pumpkin Head: Jimmie Mackintosh (Jimmie really was the Headless Horseman - However, all of the kids kept on calling him Pumpkin Head. Next year, he will have to build a horse to ride and hand out little story books about the Headless Horseman)
Gothic Ghost: Allison Butler
Gothic Ghost: Shanah Windey
Count Dracula: Kenny Windey

This was such a fun night. Many kids loved coming to our house and they came back 3-4 times. Others were afraid and we even frighten a few adults. Kenny was the best!! He really looked and acted like Count Dracula. We handed out Eye Balls to the big kids - well they were gum balls that looked like eye balls. And bubbles for the smaller kids.

Can't wait for next year. We will be adding on to make this even better!!

Be sure to watch this video.

Morgane is our Au Pair that we hired from France. She is 20 years old and we are hoping she can stay with us for two years. We absolutely LOVE Morgane, she loves the boys and the boys adore her. I think that Kole is in Love with her.
