Babies-R-Us ~ Halloween Edition

(Austin as Tigger, Avery as a Horse, Lauren as a Kitty & Morgan as a Duck.)

Halloween was a first for all the baby cousins. Austin just turned 1, Avery & Lauren are about to be 6 months old in about a week...can you believe they are only 2 days apart in age! Morgan will be turning 2.

So for me this Halloween marked a start of new memories to come of Avery, it's our first Holiday, though an insignificant one, as a family . Quite bittersweet for me though. It happens so fast, the kids are growing up! And so am I. I was driving through the neighborhood on the way to Jody's where there was going to be a get together for the all the babies and their parents. As I said it was a bittersweet moment, it was exciting to experience Avery's first Halloween but sad to know that I had to grow up!! I mean I know I am an adult but have always felt young at heart. Once you become a parent you sometimes forget what its like to be carefree with the rush of all the doctors appointments, sleepless nights and being your child's caretaker. BUT I am thrilled to know that each year Avery will have his cousins to explore his childhood with!! I imagine they are going to be quite an adventurous bunch...
