A Weekend with Dad We had a great weekend starting on Thursday evening when my dad came in to town! On Friday morning he was up bright and early to help us out with a few home improvements. Our trip to Lowe's consisted of Bently emptying the bolt drawers in between tantrums. Not exactly productive! We stayed up late playing games and enjoying his company. We also threw a Halloween party on Saturday night in these great costumes we made! It was our first real get together in our new home. It is always so nice to be able to spend time with family! Thanks for coming dad! Bently got this huge dump truck from one of his friends for his birthday. He really loves to push it around the house and put stuff in it. We helped him put Keira in it so that she could enjoy a ride!  

On Sunday we participated in the Buddy Walk which was led by Chris Burke from the TV series "Life Goes On". The Buddy Walk is a national fundraiser for Down Syndrome since October is DS awareness month. Unfortunately it drizzled all day and was a little cool but there was still a good turnout. The walk was really great and we had a lot of fun! By the end Bently and Keira were worn out and ready to go home!

 

We all had a blast this weekend! On Saturday we celebrated Bently's 2nd Birthday at the pumpkin patch. Bently really enjoyed the pumpkins, the 50-foot slide, and the hayride - but he was in heaven when Dakota took him to the sandbox! Keira on the other hand just wanted to eat every bit of grass, sand, and pumpkin that she could get to her mouth! Happy Birthday to our sweet 2 year old! We love you!
