Tales of Baby McCabe: Happy Halloween!

Jason and I are back from Las Vegas! We had a wonderful time. We had an awesome fountain-view room at the Bellagio on the 27th floor. It was so much fun just looking out our window and watching the fountain. We could tune to a certain tv channel and listen to the music that went with each fountain show. It was cool! We didn't just stay in our room watching the fountain, though. We went to Fremont Street and went zip lining from end-to-end, about ten stories up. It was awesome!! We ate at many delicious restaurants, including Serendipity (NYC based, known for frozen hot chocolates), BurGR by Gordon Ramsay, and Delmonico Steakhouse by Emeril Legasse, among others. We saw Beatles Love cirque du soleil for the second time, and it was phenomenal. We want to see it every time we go to Las Vegas. We also saw Britney Spears! So much fun. We walked around to a bunch of different casinos, trying out the slots. We had some luck, which was really exciting. All in all it was an excellent vacation.

We did miss our boys like crazy though. I burst into tears the second I walked into my parents' house and saw Nolan grinning up at me. I swooped him up and he clung to me, and also teared up. My mom handed William to me and he also clung to me and rested his head on my shoulder. He didn't move for the longest time. The boys also gave Jason huge hugs, grinning like crazy at him. It was so good to see them again!

The boys had a lot of fun while we were gone, though. For four nights they stayed at Jason's parents'. They had lots of fun going on walks, playing outside, jumping in leaf piles, and playing at McDonald's play land. They gave Nolan an early birthday present - Buzz Lightyear that talks and lights up! He loves it. The last full day they went to my parents' house. There they had fun going on a walk and playing at the park. They are definitely lucky boys to have such loving grandparents!

Everything was back to normal this week. The past few days Nolan has been fighting a virus, which hasn't been fun. He's been doing a great job using the potty, though! Despite being sick, he did manage to trick or treat a little tonight! Jason took Nolan to houses on our block and he did a great job. He loved it! William will join him trick or treating next year.
