Happy Hallo-WEAN!!!

That's right, I meant to spell it that way! Brayden is officially weaned! It's been an emotional month or so (just for me...Brayden has seemed to adjust perfectly fine), but luckily I have a very patient and loving husband, and we did it! It's really weird to think that we're already done but I have to say it is SO nice to be able to leave the house for more than 3 hours at a time. FREEDOM! Haha.

Halloween this year was fun, though not what I pictured. All 3 of us were sick with nasty colds so instead of making the rounds in our neighborhood we dressed Brayden up in his Yoda costume and surprised Grandma and Grandpa Blumel at their door. It was fun to hang out - and nice to just relax on the couch instead of getting up and down to answer the door all night long! Wait, did I say that out loud? Bah humbug! Just kidding, I really do love Halloween...when I'm not sick. Anyways, here are pictures!

I love Yoda! However, when I saw the first picture of him, I was hoping to see some of you and Chris as Leia and Luke Skywalker. I wanted to see the Ironroad family really get into Halloween! Gibbons, I'm disappointed.

Haha I'm sorry I let you down, Melinda! Yes, Chris would have made a fabulous Leia. Lol!!

Thanks, Jessica and Jessica! Yes, the weaning thing was rough for a couple weeks there but now it's GREAT. I think the hardest thing is just looking back and seeing how fast it went by!
