Pumpkin Carving Party at the Cardillo's

We had a fun time with lots of people on Sunday night for the annual carving party at the Cardillo's house. The kids got awards for their skills, and there was great food and a HAUNTED HOUSE to boot! No school on Monday, so we were able to stay around for a while.

Meet Beau

Meet our new friend "Beau" (f.k.a. Rudy). If you look in the September 15 post, he's one of the puppies riding shotgun on Gus's back. He was my birthday present from Mitchell, and he was sure a surprise! What a trip to have a puppy in the house again...been a LONG time! Gus is adjusting; he seems to feel sorry for the little bugger. They are becoming good friends, especially since Beau came with a big "real" bone that Gus takes from him. They're cute together! Stay tuned for more photos!
