More Happenings

 Besides the tiny puppy, we've enjoyed an orchestra concert:

They are really fantastic.  Malachi also played in a quartet and a quintet.  His teacher told me that he should apply for a music scholarship.

Also, at our church's fall festival, Gyunay enjoyed talking to Santa:

(Emry chose not to see Santa, but Gyunay was delighted.)

And there is still lots of puppy love around here:

Gyunay had Acorn sleeping in his lap while he watched the IU game with me.  

Acorn

 Something very tiny is big news around here:

Literally the size of a beanie baby, little Acorn has stolen hearts since her arrival at our house yesterday evening.

Lydia is in charge of this sweet bundle, and she has been taking her new responsibility seriously.  She has no shortage of helpers, though.

Acorn is about 6 weeks old, and she's part daushand part beagle.  I think the daushand must have been a mini one!  She's inquisitive and sweet.  Nathaniel bought a cat collar for her tiny neck.

I may have lost my mind in agreeing to a new puppy, but I can't say I regret it.

All Hallow's Eve

 

The kids had a great time on Halloween trick or treating with many friends.

The night before, our trunk or treat at church had to move indoors, but the fun did not stop:

Falcon, Winnie the Pooh, and Maleficent had a lot of fun.

Lydia cajoled Nathaniel and I into dressing up, too.  We were (per her choice) characters from Phineas and Ferb.  I was Perry the Platypus and Nathaniel was Dr. Doofenshmertz.  The kids were thrilled and our friends were amused.
