First off...congratulations to a couple of PEI families - our great friends, Megan and Shawn found out they will be traveling to Ukraine over Christmas! They have an appointment on Dec 15th to view child files and we are so excited they will finally see their daughter's face and get to meet her!!! Congratulations to Deanna and Calvin who recieved their referral for a precious little girl from Ethiopia - she is only 7 months old! How exciting!!

The kids had a BLAST over Halloween as you can imagine. Evan thought it was great but he just didn't have the stamina to keep up with the rest of the gang. Even the lure of candy wasn't enough to motivate him to "move it along!". He did get lots of candy and enjoyed the night. Alyssa has always been a trooper on Halloween nights and this time was no exception! She kept up with all the big kids and got loads of treats. We were out about 1.5 hours, walking through our subdivison. Our older boys went to every single house in the subdivision and they totally got the motherload! (I call it that because I'm eating most of it! Hee hee!)
We also had our FIRST snowfall for this year...it wasn't much BUT it was blowing around and some of it stayed on the ground. Evan was absolutely beside himself - he immediately got dressed and headed outside with Dylan and Alyssa. He loved it!!
We also went skating for the first time this year, and of course, the first time ever for Evan. He kept saying over and over and over "I just can't believe it! I just can't believe it" "I love it, mommy, I love it!" He is so cute!

Look at our gorgeous little man! He is so sweet growing so fast! He is filling out and has gotten a few inches taller. And look at his hair...it's getting longer! (It was buzzed when we got him in China) 
First time on skates...after about 15 mintues he was able to go on his own.
Sweet girl Alyssa...she loves to skate, too!
Daddy and Evan

What a beautiful family picture - looks like a good one to send with the christmas cards!
You're right about Evan changing. His face is much rounder and he's looking older all of a sudden. Still just as cute as ever though!
