Happy Halloween

Hope everyone is having a great November! I can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving. Here are some pics from Halloween. Our friends from Portland came up and Daniel, Rian, Henry and Clara had a great time trick-or-treating! Daniel was a batman with huge bat wings. Clara was a little chick. This seemed the most appropriate costume since we all call her "chick!"

Happiest Place on Earth

We took Daniel (and Clara) to Disneyland for this 4th birthday. He LOVED it. I have always enjoyed Disneyland, but to see Daniel's face and how much he loved seeing everything. Some of his favorite rides were Autopia, Buzz Lightyear, and the Gadgets roller coaster in Toon Town. He got to meet Minnie, Mickey and Goofy. Although, the best part of the day was Daniel getting to dance multiple times in the Celebrations Parade. Clara was all smiles watching her big brother.

For Mother's Day, we had brunch at the Storyteller's Restaurant for a nice brunch. The food was fabulous. Some of the Disneyland characters stopped by, which Daniel thought was great.

We spent the rest of our time in LA enjoying the wonderful weather! Daniel got to go to the park a lot and go swimming, so all around he thought it was a great trip!

Bunny Visit and Shots

The Bunny visited the Barreto house after a nice brunch at Anthony's restaurant overlooking the Pudget Sound, while it was chilly and overcast it was really pretty. The Bunny had to hide the eggs in our house because it was too wet outside. Daniel got a lot of candy, dinosaurs and cars. He was very excited to make sure that the Easter Bunny also visited every person we met. Clara also enjoyed her basket but she was a little less vocal about it.

Matt's Dad, step-mother and little sister Reni were out visiting. We had a great time visiting Pike's Market and UW's blossoming cherry trees.

Clara had her 6th week doctor appointment on April 13th. She now weights 10.1 pounds (50% percentile), and she is in the 25th percentile for height (21 inches, Daniel was 21 1/2 inches when he was born!) and head circumference. The doctor said she looked great!!! She had to get 3 shots, and she DID NOT like it.

Breakfast with Santa

Daniel and I went down to Portland last weekend since Matt was out of town. On Saturday morning we took the kids to a breakfast with Santa. Daniel love it. We were at the table right next to where Santa was sitting. Daniel was super excited to sit on Santa's lap and telling him what he wanted for Christmas. Afterwards, he continued wanting to go up to Santa and talk to him and show him the balloon hat. It was really cute to see how much fun and how excited he was. I can't wait for Christmas!!!!!

Halloween Fun

We had a fun Halloween week. Daniel dressed up as Spiderman. He loved his costume! He wouldn't let us call him "Spidey" until he had his mask on. The weekend before Halloween we went to the Woodland Park Zoo for their Pumpkin Prowl. There were hundreds of carved pumpkins and kids could go and get candy. The next morning we went down to the waterfront for some trick or treating.

Halloween morning we flew to Austin to spend the weekend with Taschi, Tony, Soli and Juliana. Daniel and Soli were so excited to see one another. Guille, Maria Martha and Reni also came up to spend the weekend with us. Soli decided that she wanted to match Daniel, so she was Spiderman also. They looked so cute together. Friday evening we went over to a friend of Soli's for a Halloween party. Then we did some trick or treating around Taschi's neighborhood. Saturday morning we went to Longhorn Caverns and did a really cool tour of some caves. The caves were created from underground rivers, which is very unique way for a cave to be made. Sunday we went to a great little taqueria. A bluegrass band was playing there and Daniel and Soli loved to dance to their music. I left Sunday evening, but the group all had fun on Monday going to place called Going Bananas where Daniel and Soli were able to run around a be crazy. Juliana also got into some of the fun!
