happy halloween!

it's been awhile... but here we are, and it's halloween.

 it's been a great one! as i type, my little hippie and her daddy are trick-or-treating, and i'm here listening to "the great pumpkin" in the background.  we had a halloween party at school yesterday, and one today with 5 of l's friends. she said it was the "best party ever," thanks to these gals. it feels great to be in our house and feel like we're home this holiday season. happy...
