Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet

So Elena's grandma taught her how to say "Trick or Treat, Smell my feet, Give me something good to eat" and she then went to her preschool and taught her whole class. That's our girl!

Here she is this morning, all ready for some big Halloween fun at school:


And here she is with her class, trick-or-treating in town:

Here is Elena trying to find the heartbeat on Big Giant Monkey:

Elena loves her school and we do too

We had a parent-teacher conference on Thursday night and hear just what we expected: Elena does a great job with everything but sometimes they have to remind her that she is not actually a cat. That's our girl!

Here are some pictures from the first day of school:

Pictures of Beep Beep

About 2 years ago, we were driving down the street and the name "beep beep" came to me for our next little bean. I told Chris that it would be good because Elena could pronounce it and he agreed. Needless to say, we thought Beep Beep would be here long before now but we're just so happy that he has finally shown up!

Here are some pictures of him (we say 'him' although we won't know for another month or so):
