The Carlsons: Happy (Belated) Halloween!

Okay, so things have been slightly hectic for us recently. We moved back to Reston this past Thursday and are just starting to feel settled into our condo. Granted, the place is still a MESS and we still have alot of organization and work ahead but things are starting to work out. Luckily, the weather has been just perfect for us recently so when we've been getting cagey from unpacking and cleaning, we're able to get out for some nice long dog walks with Cooper and Ella.

But before the move, we celebrated our last night in Arlington on Halloween which gave us the opportunity to not only hand out candy to the neighborhood kids but to also dress up Ella in her first halloween outfit, compliments of our friends Keith and Cory. Now granted, we're a bit biased since we think Ella is the most beautiful and cutest little baby ever but if you need some convincing yourself, check out the below pictures (along with some other pics). Seriously. She is just too cute for words in her little outfit and certainly gave us a good laugh!

Also, we have some more things to celebrate! NO, Erika is not pregnant again :) But we want to first extend warm wishes to our friends MEG and MIKE who got engaged in Disney World last Wednesday. We are so exited for them as they begin to plan their wedding and lives together!
Second, many congratulations to MARTHA and JEFF who welcomed their first child, a little girl named Kathryn to the world on November 2nd. Kathryn made a late appearance so we know her parents are just thrilled to finally meet her! Once we get "approval" to post some of their baby pics to our blog, we'll get them out here to show everyone!
