Melody's First Halloween

What will I do next year when I no longer can title everything with "Melody's First" this or that?

As has often happened over the course of this family's existence, I missed Halloween because of recruitment travel. I was in Boise at a college fair where, needless to say, the attendance on Halloween evening was a bit light. (But it was a very good fair during the daytime portion.) Anyway, here's how our four stars dressed up this year . . .

Jordan the Clown

Phillip the Sith

Jameson the Pirate

MelodyJoy the Ladybug
(Ladybugs are considered to be good luck
in the Chinese adoption community.)
