1st Halloween

It was so much fun dressing Calin up in his costumes! He was just so cute!

Thursday we carved pumpkins. (Do you see a bat or a moon??)
Friday we went to our ward Halloween party. Everyone had such great costumes!!! Can you tell what Calin was dressed up as? (I think he could be a number of things if you only see him from the front. We were pirates (yes, again), no creativity this year.
How about this picture - Can you tell now?
If you guessed a turtle, you're right!!
Adam and Shanna are in our ward and were the cutest nerds ever :)
Nate and Kelly came up on Halloween to visit. We took family pics during the day then they went trick-or-treating that night. I tried to get some pics of Calin with his cousins while they were all dressed up, but Calin was hungry and grumpy. Or maybe he was just playing his part and ROARing :) So cute how Dallin and Tanner are trying to comfort him though! Such sweet cousins!
I took these at different times when he was a bit happier. He usually loved being in his costumes cause they were so comfy and cuddly.
Tonight we're making caramel apples!! Something I wanted to do this weekend, but we ran out of time. So I can't wait :)

Walker wore that same turtle costume last year...it is adorable. I liked the lion costume also (did you let him wear it in his little jungle?)

Hello, I love the name Calin, I thought I made it up with Calvin minus the V, then when we found out we were having a boy I looked it up and found it. I started searching for the name and it pulled up your site, I was wondering if you can tell me if you pronounce his name Cal-in, and if you have had any problems with people pronouncing his name at all. Our little guy is due in March. If you could let me know thanks so much! Carly

Carly -
Hopefully you check back, I'm not sure how else to contact you.
We do pronounce his name Cal-in. We thought we made it up also, because we've never known anyone with that name, but since his birth we've heard of quite a few. Chris O'Donnell even plays a character on NCIS named Callen (different spelling, same pronunciation). Most of the Calin's that we hear of are spelled Callen.
Most people pronounce it right when looking at the spelling, but we've had a couple people say Cay-lin. But I'm pretty sure any way you spell it, people will mispronounce it every once in a while (doesn't that happen with everyone's name?! haha)
Anyway, hope this helps! Congratulations and good luck with your little guy!! :)
