Noah and his 1st Jack-O-Lantern this year:



Looking at Gibbons with Cowgirl Emily:


(Without the mask he kind of looks like an Elvis impersonator in a green jumpsuit with cape...)


And a little trip down memory lane...

Still busy

October 26, 2006, 10:13 am

Lily is still incredibly busy. We don't know when her schedule will let up. She loves coloring with markers (I only give her the light colors), baking (She tries to eat the batter), and making her own toast with jam in the morning (She uses more butter than I recommend).

Family Reunion Fall 2006

October 10, 2006, 10:14 am

We just returned from a weekend in Nebraska City full of apples, pumpkins, and family!

ALL of the grandchildren were there, and better yet we got a picture to prove it:

(Click to enlarge) (Lily, Noah, Lauren, Megan, Kayla, and Huck)

Noah took lots of pictures for us. Here is the whole clan (except for Noah of course):



Some other shots by our young photographer:



Noah's favorite moments were the horse drawn carriage ride with Papa and Grandpa:



and the hayrack ride with Aunt JJ, Huck, and Grandpa:



Lily loved her fancy manicure/pedicure from Aunt Lori:



And all of the lovin' and attention she got from her Aunts and Grandparents and Cousins:

Seen here with her Aunt JJ:


Lily's love for Huck was a little one sided:


And now we have lots of yummy apples to eat and beautiful pumpkins to decorate our home. Nebraska City always marks the beginning of fall and chilly weather. Woo-hoo!

Crazy Bath Time

Bath time is very loud and crazy these days. I tried to capture the insanity on film:



Why do bathrooms have to echo?

October 1st

October 4, 2006, 6:03 pm

I get all sentimental when I go to the pumpkin patch with Noah. We first went when he was 2 years old after we moved into this house. The pumpkin patch is right down the road.

This year I took just Noah (while Lily napped) for some quality mother/son time. I will return with just Lily soon and post pictures from that adventure (of course).

Noah loves the pumpkin patch and asked to go on the day it opened, October 1st.

This year compared to last year:
