Halloween

Matt, Jay, and I drove to Edmonds yesterday evening to spend the evening with our friends Eric, Lea, and Asher. The city of Edmonds blocks off the downtown streets so trick-or-treaters can roam the streets visiting the various stores that hand out candy. Eric, Lea, and Asher took a portion of that in, but Matt and I missed that because traffic was really terrible getting from Bellevue.

Eric and Lea live a few blocks away from the core of downtown Edmonds so we arrived in time for dinner. Lea had prepared yummy chili and cornbread - the perfect warm, cozy, fall dinner. I brought a salad to complete our meal. When we finished eating we caravaned over to Westgate Chapel. That church hosted a really terrific Community Harvest Party. The theme was "County Fair" and they had a TON of games and activities for the kids. It was really great. We just might make the Westgate Chapel Community Harvest Party a tradition.

Here is a picture of the guys with the boys when we arrived at their home.

At Westgate Chapel they had a "Photo Op" place, so we took advantage of the backdrop to take family photos. Above is Lea, Asher (the frog), and Eric. Eric and Lea are expecting another baby boy November 22. We're all so excited. Doesn't Lea look terrific for being just a few weeks away from her due date??

And here is a photo of our family taken last night. Our pea in the pod didn't cooperate by looking at the camera no matter how many photos we took, but he still is cute, don't you think??

We would have taken more photos, but after these were taken the camera battery died. I learned my lesson that the camera battery needs to be fully charged BEFORE a photo op evening like this. Oh well! At least we got these!

Thanks to Eric and Lea for a fun evening!
