Spiderman and Batman

Alex and his friend, Shabbir, went trick-or-treating at their school the day before Halloween. They had a great time. Alex didn't want to take off his mask for the picture. =)
Alex also went trick-or-treating on Halloween with Brook, Matthew, and Holden. Here's a picture of Alex and Holden (both were Spiderman).


Aunt Kate and Don came over with pumpkins to make Jack-o-Lanterns.

Allyson was a witch and Brooke was a pirate.

Matthew was Buzz Lightyear.

Here's a few pictures Roxanne and Nick (Malia's future Godparents) took of the television during the "ESPN College Gameday" broadcast on the UT campus this morning. As you can see, both Roxanne and her sign were on national television! Malia - we hope you will be a Longhorn fan too!! Hook 'em Horns!

Spiderman for Halloween

Alex chose a Spiderman costume for Halloween this year. We did have to stop and admire the Ariel costume (The Little Mermaid) because Alex has a mad crush on her. :)

New friends on the block

We joined a yahoo group for families waiting to adopt from China called FCCAustinWait. Here is the description of the group:

This group is for families waiting to adopt from China in and around the Austin, Texas area. If you are looking into adoption, paperchasing, DTC, or have recently returned from China we welcome you to join us! We will also have monthly "pot luck" dinners to get to know each other and share in this incredible journey!

Please join us as we wait...and wait...and wait...for referrals!

Through this group, we met another couple waiting to adopt from China, Kelly and Chris. Hi guys!! They are in the paper chase right now and happen to live only 4 houses down the block from us! We are already swapping adoption books and general books about China. What a small world.

Cheers!
