First Halloween

Wow, this year is full of so many "firsts"!  I remember getting a phone call from Rachel asking me for a date with her and Rayanne.  We met at Tim Horton's in Essex and she gave me a few gifts.  The first was a set of "twins" from the Willow Tree collection of figurines.  They are two little boys (very ironic as we didn't know what we were having at that time) sitting together.  The other was two identical penguin costumes for Halloween.  Well let me tell you they were adorable.  And still are today.  They fit the boys perfectly and they look so cute in them.

We had a gathering of the Mitchells and tried to get a group shot.  Not so easy with all the little ones.  Lots of crying going on at this age!  Nevertheless, we persevered and got some pics, tears and all!

By this time, the boys have been growing like crazy. Evan is 11 lbs. 2 oz. and 22.5 inches long. We have now met with several of Evans specialists. In London, we've met Dr. Matic (plastic surgeon), Dr. Butter (general surgeon-hernia repair), Dr. deRibau-Pierre (neurologist) and in Windsor, we've met with Dr. Morgan (pediatician), Derek Kozar (orthotist-helmet), Dr. Anderson (family doctor) and of course, the "girlfriends" at the John McGivney Centre - Tonia (speech pathologist), Louise Henry (occupational therapist), Bonnie Darbyson (physiotherapist) and Sharyn Zerbin (behavioural consultant. That's just the beginning!!
