Happy Halloween

We had an eventful week. We started out last week with a visit to the local apple orchard. On Friday we planned to go and visit but due the rain we were unable to make it. Luckily on Sunday it stopped raining long enough for us to go and see all they had to offer. Brody had a great time looking at the animals, riding in the enchanted pumpkin and picking apples. Then we celebrated Halloween! The original plan was for Brody to be a puppy - I had bought the costume about 2 months ago. On Friday we attempted to put him in his costume around 4:30pm and found out that the tag does not always reflect the actual size that will fit in the costume! It was way to small!!!! Knowing that I was starting to lose it Jim drove us into Greenville to attempt to find a costume one hour before Trick or Treating. We tried three stores and found 1 costume that fit and was acceptable to me! So instead of a puppy we had a little Tigger! Brody turned out really cute and he loved riding around to the neighbors in his car!

It ended up being a lot colder than we thought - luckily we had a hat in the car and an extra blanket for Brody
I thought Brody looked so cute in his hat and jacket!
Our first family ride in the enchanted pumpkin!
We thought it would be fun to take his picture in front of this sign every year
Couldn't resist putting the nittany lion hat on him!

All ready for trick or treating!

Yesterday Brody went for his 1 year visit to the doctor. He is doing really well except that his head continues to grow. So we will try to reschedule the MRI just to make sure that nothing is wrong. It is highly unlikely because he is developing well but we would hate to miss something when we have the ability to find out. He is about 22 lbs and 30 inches long - pretty much staying in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height.
