Here are the costume pics. Nora was a lion. We borrowed the costume from a friend at church. She warned me that we needed to practice with the costume so Nora would get used to the mane. Well, practice we did! Over several weeks. The first try was screaming. Then whimpering. It got easier and by Halloween it was old hat! Nora left that costume on for hours!

One of our many practices

Ready for trick or treating

Nora really go the hang of trick or treating. She came home with a full bucket. She’s also learned that she can chew through most candy wrappers.

We had a visitor a few weeks ago. Our friend Dave - Mike’s best man in our wedding - came to visit from Oakland, CA. It was short few days, but he learned all about life with an 18 month old. Here’s Nora winning him over with her alphabet magnets.

Here is Nora and Brow Brow. She’s learned how to say “Bow Bow.” This is her new name for all cats, including Gracie. Sort of like how “Daddy” is her name for both of her parents and “down” is what she says when she wants to get both on and off the sofa.

Don’t ask me what we were doing watching this, but Nora Loved it!
