Last weekend, Loren and Charlie (Birdie’s parents) got married here in Los Angeles. Charlie and Gus and Birdie all got to be part of the wedding ceremony. Charlie and Gus even got bowties to match the groomsmen’s ties. Here they are trying the ties on before the wedding:

Here’s Gus waiting to get dressed for the wedding – and his big job – to start:

Hopefully I’ll have some photos of them walking down the aisle with our cousin Will soon. They did a great job!

Sunday night was Halloween and we went over to Ze and Jody’s for dinner and to watch the trick-or-treaters. Thankfully, we have costumes for the dogs. They definitely wouldn’t want to be left out of the fun – Gus wore Charlie’s old alligator costume (from his first Halloween).

Then Charlie came and sat with me:

While the kids continued wrestling with each other and really wearing themselves out (isn’t that the goal?!):
