The Unruh Tribe: Marek

A frequent occurrence

This happens often at our house... the attack of the loving big sister....

"oh no, here she comes... maybe if I put my hand up I can stop her advancing"

"smothered again!!! at least this wasn't so bad... could've been a lot worse"

Such a Sweet Boy!

This was taken last weekend by a dear friend. He's getting so big, and what a cutie!

Yes, I realize it's the second week of November, but hey, I have two kids! We were invited to a church friend's house on Halloween night for a bit of trick-or-treating. This was once again in the Woodlands – home to the American school and therefore a huge American expat population. It was great fun, since 1. I never trick-or-treated as a kid and 2. We haven't been around folks who celebrate this holiday in a long while. (I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving!). The streets were packed with kids of all ages from baby fairies sleeping on daddy's shoulder to Adults still living the dream (myself included). Violet didn't really catch on until Jamey gave her a piece of her candy, then he couldn't pull her away. I think they ended up doing a couple trips around the block! V was dressed as a gypsy, I decided to change the original outfit (which she wore to her friend Pierce's Halloween bash – see below) to a more authentic look, besides the fact that I didn't want her showing that much skin in public. We were amongst friends and inside the whole time for the first party! Her outfit Halloween night was a big hit! There was no guessing about what she could possibly be. :) J went as a castaway who was bitten by a shark – the shark was played by, Marek. And I dressed as a gypsy/pirate not really sure what I was, but it was fun...

At Pierce's party. My mom brought this outfit when my parents visited. It was mine when I was a kid!
