Halloween & 2.5

At the end of October, Miss Cecilia turned 2.5 and also celebrated her 3rd Halloween.  2.5 is such a fun age - she really understands everything that's going on and Halloween was no exception.  For the first time, she was super into the festivities.  When I asked her what she wanted to be, her reply was "A dinosaur!

I'm now home and recovering, slowly but surely.  It was not a fun week for any of us, but we're finally starting to get back to normal around here.

This month, Cali has been...
