Ahhhh Autumn in Akron!!

October 2005: Seems like only yesterday we were dealing with "our baby" and having just moved to OH. Our first year in the Akron Area, Caitlyn dressed up like a little angel.. She was fascinated by the pumpkins, and promptly destroyed them. :D



October 2006: Last fall my little Angel turned Elmo with the careful aid of her big brother Ninja!

Caitlyn understood the drill much more this year, and was able to keep up with the big kids.

The neighborhood is all a buzz on Halloween night and it is such a happy feeling. Elena and Lee up the street are the owners of the home to envy for every school age kid on the block, with their whimiscal Halloween decorations and craftworks that would make Martha Stewart jealous!

October 2007: It will be this stunningly beautiful only a few more days!! Autumn is my favorite seasons, it seems to me magical how leaves so green, can suddenly turn gold and the most shocking scarlet colors, painting the scenery and transforming overnight..

This Halloween year Caitlyn is 3 years old Princess, Kyle is 8 an 8 year old Spryo the Dragon -- a favorite from his video games! Today is my son's party at school. Tonight is my daughters party at day care.

I am hoping the Unicef Trick or Treat for others can's come today, as our neighborhood trick or treat is Sunday.. I guess if it does not arrive in time, then we trick or treat Wednesday for the kids, and we take them to the commercial trick or treat for the Unicef fundraiser. Unicef was my son's idea, and a beautiful one.



Sandy Mitchell did a great on About.com feature
on the celebration of autumn in the Akron OH
area. Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens graces
70 acres of impeccably manicured gardens
against a regal backdrop -- perfect
showcase for the autumn splendors.
