Happy Halloween!

10-28-01: Sunday, Jessica, Mommy and Sue drove back from LA. Wednesday was Halloween and we had a party at Duncan. Jessica, Madeline Hoft Rafa and Lucy Albright all went trick or treating on Duncan and visited with six of the neighbors. Jessica and Madeline were pumpkins and Lucy was a butterfly. All the other guests arrived after trick or treating for a pot luck dinner. Nicholas and Sophie Cooper showed up too and Sophie was also dressed as a pumpkin. All the kids played upstairs in Jessica's bedroom with Mike Rafa, who was the Great Pumpkin - he was wearing an orange fleece! Lisa Ohashi babysat Jessica (she was sleeping) while Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Matt B., Aunt Erin, and Sue Marston all went down to the Castro to walk around. Thursday, Mommy, Daddy and Jessica visited Dr. Hamilton for the first time to see the new baby. Jessica cried when Dr. Hamilton came into the examination room and Mommy told Dr. Hamilton that Jessica must recognize him from the night she was born. Jessica continued to cry as Dr. Hamilton showed the new baby on the ultrasound screen and Dr. Hamilton told Jessica that she had something to cry about because he was showing her competition on screen. We all celebrated with Indian food after the appointment. Friday, Jessica and Mommy spent the afternoon with Chuck Gutro running errands and then had Berkeley and Michele Barnett over for dinner.
