Torque - noun. The measured ability of a rotating element, as of a gear or shaft, to overcome turning resistance.

We had a very busy weekend! Our Halloween party on Friday night was a hit. What a great and interesting mix of people showed up. Some spinach dip and cheese dip and a lot of bottles of wine later, I'm pretty sure everyone had a good time. We had some neighbors show up and a couple people from Caleb's office. A big thanks for everyone for coming and bringing snacks and drinks.

Xander had his NODA Neighborhood Halloween party to attend on Saturday morning. He was really excited to wear his dino costume again. He got a chance to wear it at the beginning of our party, before he went to bed. He also took a couple big boy steps in it, we are very proud!

Caleb was super excited to get over to the Lowes Motor Speedway this Saturday for the 'Good Guys Rod and Custom Nationals Car Show'. He's starting X early on the love for beautiful classic cars. We had a lot of fun and it was perfect weather for walking around looking at pretty cars and people watching.

Here's a little bit of our weekend for you:
I'm very excited to have everyone over. Lisa decided to come to the Halloween party as an Asian 'little person', it was nice of her to dress up.
I really don't know...Caleb had the camera and this is just what happened. That's Adam in the middle there.
A little group shot, I think most people were outside having a smoke break.
Ready for our walk to the park for the little kids Halloween party. Xander was probably the cutest kid alive in his dino costume. Unfortunately the party was at 10:30, and X's first nap is around 10, so we didn't get much of a nap. We started out tired, but we held it together for the party.
Xander got to play with a lot of little ones around his age, something he doesn't get to do very often. He liked the look of this little cow's paci...
Off to the races. These kids were all around the same age and were way too cute climbing all over the jungle gym in their costumes, I think there were 10 adults reaching around and making sure no one hurt themselves.
It's pretty ridiculous...
Seriously? Could he be ANY cuter??? I loved the little one in the tiger costume. He was SO serious the entire time, it made his costume even better.
We were so very tired but there was so much to see we just couldn't fall asleep, so we just took little rests on Papa's shoulder.
Xander doesn't trust this guy enough to take his eyes off him.
Finally! Little man couldn't even make it the walk home. I'm sure it felt good to not have a million kids in costumes to look at.
Here he is on Lowes Motor Speedway, I can imagine the cars rushing by, making tons of noise.
X was getting restless in his stroller so Papa said he could crawl around for a little bit only if he didn't touch anything. So, the second I set him down he immediately headed for the first tires he saw. Good thing he's still just crawling, I cut him off.
Papa and baby messing around.
Our little family. Poor X is in need of another nap. Good thing we headed straight to the car where he could curl up in his car seat and take a much needed rest.Could they be any more perfect together?? I love these two so much it hurts!

What a busy weekend for the family! But so much fun. We spent Sunday at church and then straight home for sweatpants and family time...
