Happy Halloween

Oliver celebrated his first Halloween dressed as Tigger and tricker treating with Arnie & I, who celebrated Halloween earlier in the month at an adult Halloween party. Arnie & I used the costumes that Arnie and his friend Cory wore when Arnie purposed.

Oliver now has his two bottom front teeth and is pulling himself up to stand next to everything he can and trying to walk.

Well I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween.

BABY SHOWER

Just a quick note to let you know Cassie and Jesse are expecting a baby early December. I have sent out invitations to join the mail order shower to welcome the baby to our family. Just thought I would share the picture I got from Bill of the day they (Cassie and Jesse) were married, October 11, 2007. If all goes well we should have a baby at our Christmas party this year. Should you not get your invite by Friday email me; doucette77@charter.net and I will get it to you. Have a super week! Julie

PS: there are corrections to the shower invite. Casandra has ONE S and Jesse has no i.

Life at the Merfeld's

Well I finally have time to sit down and write to you all about life here at the Merfeld home:)

Jesse and I took a 2 hour drive on the 7th and picked up our new puppy Diesel, he has been so much fun but he is getting expensive in a hurry. Last Sunday he was caught underneath the garage door:( we rushed him to urgent care for animals and there they took xrays and did a bunch of test, he ended up with some hemorrhaging and fluid in his lungs but no broken bones, he is almost back to 100%. Since I have last posted we have moved in to our house, it has been so nice to have our personal space again. I am planning a cookie party for this holiday season, not sure on the date yet but will know soon.

Where?

Please note- This should be sung in your head when you read this.
(Can't remember the name of the song, but it is from Hee Haw)

Where oh where are Monica and Jeff?
Why are they leaving us here all alone?
I search the blog over and couldn't find a word.
They must be busy or phfffft they would write!

Catching Up

Happy Weekending everybody! I hope all are doing well. It's feeling like fall yet here in SE Wisconsin we still don't have any color... at least not at my house. You would think the trees would be changing pretty soon though. So if anybody else has fall color, can you please take a picture and share it?

Noah, hope you're arm is feeling better... I don't think I could have been as much of a trooper as you were... I'd have run the other direction if I saw the mid-evil contraption they put you in! That's the way to take one for the team! :)

I have nothing new to report around here. Just had a couple of birthdays, working at getting the flower beds ready for winter, etc. We just wanted to see what else is new with everybody else!

Love to everybody!

Dawn & Chris

P.S. Carissa, do you have any adorable baby pictures of Diesel yet? We dog people are anxiously waiting to see your new addition!
