Having kids gives you unique opportunities to relive your childhood! Halloween is definitely one of those times! Especially this year with Brooklyn in Trey's childhood costume and going trick or treating with my friend who I trick or treated with when I was a kid! What a trip/ck it was to watch as our kids did the exact thing we did together when we were that age! Brooklyn and Trey in Matching Cotumes - same age! 28 years later! Rochelle's kids are absolutely adorable! Brooklyn and Jude were on cloud nine running from house to house with the whole troop of characters!

The Gooch and Clark Family back in 2005 and..... Us Now! Heather and I are both expecting our Third babies 6 weeks apart - Our other two are less than 3 months apart. The kids were instant friends...I knew they would be!
