Playing Catch Up

Sorry we have been MIA for so long. We are all finally recovered from whatever strange illness overtook our house! The kids are happy to be out and about again. Aaron is doing so well in school. Lauren is talking more and more everyday. She has become quite the tantrum thrower! Watch out for her. The dogs really have become the best of friends. Too bad Cooper has taught Nika the bad habit of digging holes in the yard.

Story time together

Look who's got a Big Boy bed!

Aaron's preschool sang at the church. He's trying to help his best friend Tristan to not be scared!

This is why you do not leave knee high panythose lying around!

Introducing.....Cooper

 Day One: Hiding

Warming up to each other

Best friends already

Meet the newest addition to the Killingbeck house, Cooper (formerly know as Hoover). We changed his name to Cooper since Lauren kept calling him Coover. He came to us via Baja and we were told he is a lab and Xolo mix. He has nice soft fur, but has some spots on his skin like the Xolo. We think he may have some whippet in him too. He is getting along with the kids fine. Lauren really likes him. Nika is SO happy to have a new friend to play with. They spend all day running around playing chase and tug. We are very happy to have him with us. Cooper looks forward to meeting all of you!

Trick or Treat

Aaron & Lauren had a great time on Halloween having dinner with friends and then off to get candy. They filled their buckets really quickly. They both had a lot of fun going up to doors and saying trick or treat. It amazes me sometimes how much Aaron has grown up and how much he has learned at his new school. He went up to this older boy and said "I really like your costume." Later I told him how nice that was and how it gave us all a "happy heart" which is something they say at school when the kids use their good words.

Thanks Nana for the amazing ladybug/butterfly cape. We are going to be seeing that a lot. And thanks for Aaron's cowboy vest and "boots." He loved his costume. Thanks to our wonderful friend Dana for making Lauren's tutu, check out her site, she sells such cute stuff!
