Halloween Party

The three of us went to a Halloween party. Grady is an adorable pumpkin, I'm a yellow M & M, and John is a book worm. (see the worm by his left shoulder?)

Weekend Retreat

Sunday was a beautiful day for a walk, so we headed out for the boat landing.

Friday Night Friends

Grady and Joslyn, who is 8 days younger than Grady. Remember their picture at Grady's RF Shower?

Friday night, we headed to RF for a pumpkin carving party at Jean and Mark's house. We've been doing this for a number of years, but it sure was different with a baby of our own. The crowd has grown over the years; I think I counted 15 children (ages 9 to 6 weeks) and their parents (and one set of grandparents)!

Taryl and son Hank, who was a good sport playing with Grady.

Kenna let Grady "help" with her pumpkin.




Grady and Joslyn enjoyed playing with the pumpkin guts!

Peek-A-Boo

Time: 9:15 p.m. Grady wakes up and decides to play peek-a-boo over his crib with us. He also tried to pull himself up by holding on to the side rails. We think it's time to lower the crib mattress.

Where's My Toy?

Grady is beginning to understand the concept of object permanence; he loves to find treasures under things! It's fascinating to witness the outward signs of his brain development.

Sunday Smiles

Grady is amazingly happy - almost all of the time!

This was taken before we left for church - side note: the scarf I'm wearing keeps him busy during the sermon!

Drum Roll

A Beautiful Day Outside

We like to get outside every afternoon. It's been a perfect fall for spending some time in the sun! Here, we were waiting for John to come home from school.

Good Morning Giraffe
