November 2008—below are photos from August through October.

Give hockey a try—Emma Rae did; Aubrey did not.

The girls wanted to play in the rain … why not?

Emma Rae's fifth birthday. The day included a trip to the Choo-choo restaurant and a rainstorm while we were heading back to the train. It was definitely memorable.

Paul and Debbie celebrated 40 years of marriage in October.

We got to walk on the new runway at O'Hare. It was pretty neat.

So close. The Cubs won every game we went to this year … until the playoffs.

Emma Rae's first day of school. I can't believe these two are five already!

Aubrey's big day came a week later.

Emma Rae and Aubrey had enough of trick-or-treating. It was a long day.

The cousins in disguise!
