Jude dressed up in a knight costume for Halloween. Here he is all decked out about to head to school on Halloween. That night, though, he decided to just wear his pumpkin shirt as he was out trick or treating. Anna went as a princess – they made quite the cute couple.

This past week was haircut time so they headed to the local kid’s hairdresser that both Jude and Anna love. They get to sit in airplanes or cars and best of all they get a lollipop afterwards.

This week we received Jude’s school photo that was taken a couple of weeks ago. He is quite the handsome fellow don’t you think.

Speaking of school we had the parent conference with Jude’s teacher a couple of weeks ago and it was great to hear he is doing well in school. We often wondered because he can be very impatient and mean to Anna on occasion at home. But apparently in school Jude is on his best behavior most of the time. And he loves it. He said this weekend that Monday is one of his favorite days of the week because he gets to go to school to see his friends. That was great to hear.

We had some big news this weekend. We have been renting here in Park Hill since returning to Denver in August but we have been quietly looking for a house to buy the last few weeks. We found a place we both loved a couple of weeks ago but someone beat us in putting an offer in. We put in a backup offer but we had pretty much given up on the place when we get a call from our friend and realtor, Melissa, on Saturday night. The first contract fell through so we are under contract now. Now, we know not to count our chickens before they are hatched but if all goes well we will be closing on the new house on Christmas Eve.
