Sophie was ready to go outside!

Halloween night was a wonderful time for the Fox family! It was another perfect day and the best weather for Halloween that I can ever remember! We didn't even need coats and Sophie was happy the whole time. Daddy had the day off so he cooked vegetable beef soup and it was delicious! Our old neighbors, Mark and April and their little girls came for dinner and trickortreating, too. Cameron's next door neighbor and good buddy, Chase, joined us for trickortreating like he has every year since we've lived next to each other. Cameron and Charlie really got into the trickortreating and loved every minute of it! Now it is time to sort candy and hopefully not eat it all in one sitting!

We went to our annual "Boo at the Zoo" at the Lincoln Children's Zoo tonight. We have went every year since Cameron was one and the kids really enjoy it. This was Sophie's first time at the zoo and she was a trooper, like usual! She slept part of the time, otherwise she never made a peep and even rode her first train ride! This is an annual fundraiser for the zoo to make money to fund the zoo and feed the animals during the winter when they are closed, so we love to take part in this great cause! The kids have a blast "trick-or-treating" at stations set up all throughout the zoo and get candy and lots of coupons for free kids' meals around town. The weather today was 75 degrees which is definitely the nicest it has ever been for Boo at the Zoo. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to do the real thing tomorrow night!

The Boys are Away, so the Girls Play!








Since Cameron and Charlie are on fall break all week, they are spending most of the week in Norfolk with their Grandma and Grandpa. Sophie and I took them up there Sunday night and we stayed until Tuesday and came back. Grandpa is bringing them back tomorrow afternoon, so Sophie and I have been shopping and enjoying a very quiet house! I think, though, that she misses her brothers because she was a bit fussy tonight, which is not like her! I think it may be too quiet for her and she is not used to that! We plan to go to "Boo at the Zoo" tomorrow night to trick or treat, so the boys are excited to get back and start the Halloween festivities! We really miss them and can't wait for them to come home! Our house is definitely not the same without our boys!

A Walk Down Memory Lane...

I can't believe how much Charlie looks like Sophie here!

I was just going through old pictures and stumbled across Christmas photos of the past. The first few years we, or I should say, my hubby, took the Christmas card photos and they actually turned out pretty well. However, once we discovered our photographer, Jenny Gegg, we have used her the past two Christmases and really enjoy her work. She is awesome with kids and we are so lucky to have found her. We will be taking our Christmas pictures in a couple of weeks, so I thought I'd post the last four years before Miss Sophie enters into the Christmas card mix! Can't wait to see how this year's turns out!
