Halloween and stuff

Hello Again. Things are still going well for the Roggia Fam here in VA.
Since last week, Ellie is even more 2. Seth is getting more and more
vocal and active... and more and more adorable. Adam is doing great
in school. I am having fun at home and developing my running. Life
is busy for us (well mostly for Adam), but pretty good.  

Ellie adores getting messy and causing trouble. We had
a few rainy days the last couple of weeks, which made her
as happy as can be. 

 

A quick shot of my handsome husband while the men were out working
in the yard and brush one afternoon.

Ellie helped by torturing Tucker, who is totally freaked out by brooms.
Not much gives her more pleasure than making the dogs crazy. 

He's still pretty nice to her though. He lets her "ride" him
frequently. She always talks about "ridin". The girl loves horses.
We even walked over to a neighbor's the other day to say hi
to some. They are all over our neighborhood. We love it.
I just need to get some pictures. 

The current residence. We are thankful to Grandma and Grandpa
for letting us continue to crash with them while we finish school.

Halloween! Ellie was a monkey... seemed fitting. 

She had a blast at the church Trunk or Treat and Party.
It took her NO time to learn to say "trick or treat" and get
into the groove. She LOVED the whole thing. 

Mr. Rocco got to be a cute little penguin. All the little girls at church
adored him. He's a sweet boy.

 Ellie checking out her stash. She made out pretty well.

Then we celebrated Grandma's birthday with some
yummy German Chocolate Cake... as always!
Happy Birthday Grandma. We LOVE YOU!
(And Happy Birthday to Uncle Jake, of course).

Then Ellie had to take multiple turns blowing out the candles herself
before finally realizing the cake was even more fun to eat.

The boys, in the usual, overly-relaxed positions.

The kiddos love to crash Grandpa's bed.

This girl is pure craziness. I love it.

Seth is somehow starting to look more and more like the Garner side.
His head suddenly turned square-ish, it seems.

He ADORES all attention. He will just sit and laugh and talk to you
for the longest time. He is such a cute little guy.

A girl after my own heart. She frequently chooses to watch
Calamity Jane lately. I love it. 

And just looking cute in a new coat.
