We had a little visit with Aunt Stephanie tonight for Kerry's first real haircut. We just trimmed about an inch off the back to make it more even with her sides which resulted in an adorable little baby-bob. Now it should look much better as it grows.



Before, as you can see, it was very uneven and mullet-like.



Kerry was fine to let Stephanie do her thing as long as she had Mommy and a lollipop.

The results =)

I'm so glad that Kerry seems to enjoy being outside as much as we do. We try to do things out of doors as much as possible, be it hiking, biking, working in the yard or just taking a walk around the neighborhood. So far, Kerry has been game for almost everything we've tried with her...aside from some initial playground equipment trepidation. Today, for example, we went to a nearby Civil War fort and cemetary which included quite an uphill hike.

She had a great time shuffling her feet through the leaves.

We also stopped at a park on the way home. Kerry loves climbing, as you can see, and sliding, but still is not too fond of swings.

Our busy bee had a great Halloween, and so did we. She loves walking and meeting people so trick-or-treating around the neighborhood was right up her alley. We get a lot of Trick-or-Treaters in our neighborhood. We've lived here for over ten years and each year we give out candy to anywhere from 40 to 60 children. Last Halloweeen we had no way of knowing that, this year, we'd finally be the one's walking a costumed little one from house to house. It was awesome =).

As you can see, she got a lot of use out of her costume between the Zoo, the Lantern Stroll, and Halloween.

We saw this adorable view many times tonight

Getting a lift from Daddy at neighbor's house

Speaking of neighbors, we sent our candy over to the lovely Miss Ashley to hand out for us. Her family has lived next door to us for almost 8 years.

We also made a trip to Nana and Papaw's house

And to my parent's house

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!

Making Strides and making Friends

This past weekend Kerry and I participated in the "Make Strides" breast cancer awareness walk with my mom and my sweet sister-in-law, Stephanie, who lost her mother to breast cancer several years ago. It was a great day for a walk, which took us over the bridge to Indiana and back.

Mom and Stephanie

Kerry enjoyed playing around on these catwalk type things on the river front, but slept in her stroller through the entire walk. It was nap time, after all.

And last night we met up again with the georgeous Makenna and her family for a "Jack-O-Lantern stroll" where the girls were able to trick-or-treat and play a bit. They walked and ran tried to climb any stairs they could find. We really like this family and had a nice time getting more acquainted, as much as was possible with the crowd and business.
