Happy Halloween

We had about 7 or 8 trick or treaters this year, which is more than we have had in the past, so I thought we did pretty well. Ben had to work on Halloween this year, but he did carve a pumpkin for the occasion.

He carved a character from one of his favorite internet cartoons--the Homestar Runner. Really, I think it's a dumb cartoon, but he did do a good job carving out "the Cheat."
In case you were curious here's a picture of him from the cartoon...


On another, sad note...Ben and I will be heading home tomorrow for my grandfather's funeral. He passed away yesterday morning pretty unexpectedly. It is the first grandparent that either Ben or I have lost. We're definitely going to miss him. Thankfully, we were able to see him just a couple of weeks ago when we were home for my baby shower. Here's a picture of me with Grandma and Pop.
