Table

So, after finishing our beautiful dining room, our table started to feel very out of place! In Victorian homes, the dining room was usually quite impressive...long, narrow rooms (and tables), so as to seat lots of dinner guests, and beautiful light fixtures...ours was no exception :) So, after hiring a wood maker to do our cabinets and seeing what a wonderful job he did and his love of wood working, we commissioned him to build us a table to seat 10-15 adults comfortably and to fit with the style of the room...and...WOW! It gets delivered on Thursday. I'm so excited!!! It is 9 feet long and 3.5 feet wide...I think I might have to host the next family get together...it MIGHT have enough room to fit all my clean books during a hand and foot game :) and yes...that was a challenge!

Cute Clothes and Elf Ears :)

Wendy bought Liliya the cutest little dress...LOOK, LOOK! I love playing dress up!

 No one can make Lil smile like her big brother Will...

I think her ears are so dang cute...who cares if they're a little "elf-ish!"

Halloween

The boys had a very fun Halloween this year! We went back to our old neighborhood, as it is much more kid friendly, and trick-or-treated with some of our old church friends. Drake DEFINITELY got the most attention recycling my old ewok costume! It totally cracked me up to watch him waddle around with the pillow in his tummy, tripping over the too-long costume :) such a trip down memory lane! ENJOY!

Vance as an astronaut

Will as a Spartan Warrior (he made the entire costume by himself  with ABSOLUTELY no help! he even bought his own fabric!)

Drake as "Wickett The Ewok"

A better look at Will's costume...he is SO crafty! I don't know where he gets it! His mother can't even sew on a button!

The VomBaur boys...ready to go!

The whole clan! Our friends: Nate as Mitt Romney, Scott as a Skeleton, and Lauren as an adorable Girly Skeleton :)

Liliya has started holding up her head, so we tried her out in the bumbo chair...not sure why I think this is so cute...just do :)

Just hanging out while mom gives Drake a bath...

"She's so cute and all alone...can we keep her?" Quick...what movie?
