Boo!






Well, Liam had his first Halloween. We celebrated by carving pumpkins, going on a pumpkin walk at the College of the Atlantic and going to a Halloween parade in Southwest Harbor. On Halloween night we dressed Liam up in his little pumpkin costume and headed to the street in Bar Harbor that gets all of the trick-or-treaters. We didn't actually go begging for candy but we did walk around the street and enjoyed the festive feel of the night. The Bar Harbor police shuts down the street to cars so it will be safe for all of the kids. Doing this makes the street have the feel of a street fair. We talked to some friends of ours, who live on that street, about 1.5 hours into the night. They had purchsed 75 dollars worth of candy and they were already out. They ended up getting more from the Baptist church that is next to their house. After getting our fill of that scene, we went to our favorite restaurant/pub. The Lompoc also had a festive Halloween feel to it. Liam and his little friend Emma were the hit of the place in their very cute costumes.
Liam's first Halloween was great all around. I have always loved holidays but having Liam makes it so much fun. I can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

It's been a while since I've been by to check out Liam's progress. He looks adorable in the pumpkin outfit (and I love the new header image).

And I laughed out loud with the picture of him next to the pumpkin. :)

Glad to hear all is well!
