Rolling Over

Maddox's hard work has paid off. He worked extra hard yesterday trying to roll over and was able to by the end of the day. He had been getting 3/4 of his body turned over and I grabbed the camera to get a picture of his efforts. Well just as I was taking a picture he went over so I got his first roll over. Notice how he is already mostly off the blanket. He is a mover for sure. He kicks his feet and arches his back so much that he turns himself around.

Happy Halloween!!!!

Macen is so pleased with his Batman costume.

Maddox as a little owl. He spent the evening in the carrier. He was quite content with so many people coming and going around us.

We did another neighborhood get together this year so the kids got to trick or treat together. And it was another year of mass numbers of trick or treaters if the line above gives you any indication of how things go here on Halloween. This was early though so they were polite and formed a line, lol. Usually it's just a a huge group of about 20 kids and parents surrounding you as you try to get goodies in everyones bag. It's fun seeing so many people out and about though. Macen had a blast, got tons of candy, is actually trying some new candy this year and has spent the morning picking out which candy he will eat next. Good thing he gets a nap before school today or his teacher would not be happy with me.

School Halloween Party

A couple of pics from Macens school party. They made spiders, spider webs, witches hat and lollipop mummies to name a few of the projects.

Pumpkin Carving

Packed up...

And no where to go....yet. The movers took everything today. We have loaner furniture to get us through the next month and we are living the simple life. We won't be around the house much in November anyway so it shouldn't be too bad. It won't be long now. And even knowing that, it seems so far away. We have several trips planned between now and the time we leave so busy, busy, busy.

Autumn days are here again...

Maddox in a pumpkin!!!! He didn't mind it until he got nekkid. This boy does not like his picture taken naked. Our photographer here can attest to that as we spent over 3 hrs trying to get him in sleepy nekkid baby poses right after he was born. He did just fine once his clothes were on. But the 2nd picture is too classic not to include it here. These were taken several weeks ago when we still had really warm weather. I LOVE babies in pumpkins! Macen got the same treatment when he was 5 mos old. Haha!

Macen spent the afternoon playing in the leaves with his friends.

Bumbo Baby

We've introduced Maddox to the Bumbo and he likes it. He is still a little wobbly for it so he's only in it for a very short amount of time but it's good practice for him.
