Family Time

We enjoyed spending time with Karen, Gail, George and Eileen. Jack did great on his first long trip away. I have a feeling the portable DVD player had something to do with the success of the car ride. We can't wait to have Christmas come around so we can spend more time with our family.

Playing in the leaves

Jack is used to the smaller leaves we have around our house, so it was great to see that Aunt Gail had enormous leaves all around her backyard. Jack loves to crinkle the leaves and then tear them apart. He also enjoyed it when we threw a bunch of leaves into the air and let them fall all over him. Jack tried to drag all the leaves around him into his lap.

Balloon and Bench

On our visit to Atlanta Jack got to see the bench that his Aunt Gail had bought for him. To help keep track of him in her big house I got a Thanksgiving Balloon. He loves balloons and carried it around with him most of the time. Otherwise we attached it to the back of his pants.

Jack reading a bedtime story...

Jack really loves to look through books and study the pictures. He has gotten the hang of turning each page one at a time. Jack will go through each of his board books on the top of his bookshelf every day and look through it. Here is Jack and Kevin finishing up our nightly routine of bath, book, bottle, bed.

Daddy Dino

Kevin decided to crawl into the dinosaur on the porch one night. Jack thought this was great and quickly crawled into the dinosaur to play with his Daddy. When he realized he was going to get tickled, Jack tried a quick get away.

Sadie

When Jack heard Sadie barking the other day he went to the porch as fast as he could. He watched her for the longest time as she walked around her backyard. When we go to visit her, she licks his toes. Jack sure does like Sadie!

Halloween

Jack and Maddy had a fantastic time on Halloween night. First the grown-ups carved pumpkins while Jack and Maddy cheered us on. Kevin was the judge and chose Chuck's scary pumpkin over the others. Then the kids got dressed up into their costumes. Maddy was a robot space girl and Jack was Batman. He did a fantastic job of keeping his bat hat on and they both did a great job of going door to door and accepting their candy. As usual we were quite busy handing out candy at our house. Brynn roasted the pumpkin seeds for us and we enjoyed a pizza dinner.
