As we were unpacking,we had the idea to take one of the empty boxes, and cut a door and some windows in it. We thought that Darrien would have a lot of fun getting in it and peering out through the windows. We put some toy inside to encourage him to get in, but the box as a little too short for him. Well as it turns out he actually enjoyed chasing us around the box even more!

Well no parks actually, but here some photos that I took during some of our walks and meals throughout the month of October.

We had a really nice time with all of our Halloween activities this year. We went to the pumpkin patch in Lathrop, got and hollowed out 5 pumpkins, made 4 Jack-O-Lanterns (do the math), made a really cute little ghost costume for Darrien, went Trick or Treating near downtown, and even got back in time to hand out some candy to the local kids. It was quite the success when it was all over. And there there was that special moment that everyone has been waiting for. The CADNY! (ah yes, there was candy). Though I expected that Darrien would shove the whole thing in his mouth like a starved monkey, he actually savored and inspected his candy. For the first bite anyways… After that, his mouth was stuffed with that one morsel of candy until his cheeks looked like a chipmunk with a winter’s worth of nuts to hide. Take a look for yourself

We took some new pictures of Darrien with a new, and much more powerful camera. I’ve scaled these images down a bit; as the originals are 14MP. Here’s a small selection of the best of the lastest pictures.
