what a difference a year makes

October 31, 2007
*Baby's "First" Halloween (if it counts in utero and Mama dressed you up from the outside)
*270-some trick-or-treaters came to our house in the chilly, freezy rain
*Mama turned 27












October 31, 2008
*Baby's Actual First Halloween - nope, no trick or treating... just sittin' on the front steps, handing out candy with Mama, Daddy & Meredith (aka Mama Bear, Papa Bear & Goldilocks)
*204 trick-or-treaters came to our house in the beautiful, warm sunshine (darn those home football games)
*Mama turned 28 (Which - I am told - will be a "defining" year for me in terms of becoming a full-fledged adult grown-up type person. Except I still feel like a kid...)
