End of October & Halloween 2009



土曜日はハロウィンでした。特にハロウィンのために衣装を買うことはなく、日本に里帰りした時に母親がHappy Halloweenって書いてある洋服をくれたのでそれを着る事に、カツラもあったのでそれをかぶせてみました。夜は近所をまわらず、家にきた子供たちお菓子をあげたり、ジョシュの家族とビデオチャットしたり、その夜に、さくらはつかまり立ちをしました。随分前から私達が支えると立つ事はできたんだけど、自分から立ったので、少し驚いてしまいました。
来月は”感謝祭”があるので、ジョシュの実家にいく予定です。

Here we are at the end of October (actually in to November) and what fun we have been having. This past week we have been getting ready for Halloween & pressing on towards Thanksgiving. It was my brother, Jared's birthday (33) on the 26th and relaxing at home, Takako just happened to put my old wig on Sakura. BINGO, costume is complete. On the 31st, we drove around town running errands, getting things that we needed (wanted) for around the house. We ended up not going out that night as we would just be using Sakura to get candy for ourselves but we did dress her up at home. She had a Halloween (Trick or Treat) onesie from Hideko and of course the blonde wig. It was quite a fun night chatting via Skype with family. Sakura also surprised us with being able to sit up on her own as she is just over 6 months now! Now we are pressing on towards Thanksgiving where we are planning on staying with the Swenson's of Lakeville (Josh's older Sister & family for those that don't know). Looking forward to the family-time.
