No Fish Story

Dad has been enjoying the terrific fall weather. In addition to enjoying the weather, he has been enjoying some really great catches. Lauren especially looks forward to helping him reel in the big ones. She also loves the post-reeling pictures.

Jack-o-Lanterns

We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon carving Jack-o-Lanterns. I say we, but really it was Mom and Dad. None of the kids wanted to scoop out the middle. They only wanted to choose the type of face they wanted and watch Mom and Dad do all the work.

Halloween

The kids had a great time this Halloween! We went to the Spooktacular sponsored by the city. Lauren tied for 1st place in the Most Origial costume contest. She was a ladybug. Colin was an alien and Stuart a Ninja Turtle. They also got to see a magic show. Everyone enjoyed trick-or-treating on Halloween night, even Mom and Dad who were dressed as Mom and Dad!

Grandparent's Day

Nana and Grammy were invited to school to celebrate Grandparent's Day with Colin. They also each were able to stop in a visit Stuart's preschool class.

Football

Colin enjoyed a successful flag football season with the Lions! Stuart enjoyed cheering on the Texans from the sideline. GREAT Aunt Pat treated both boys to an official Steelers and Patriots jersey - Rothlisberger (sp?) and Brady, of course! They look like mean tough guys, don't they?

Lauren Loves to Dress Up

It was absolutely her idea to stick her tongue out for this picture!

Go Steelers!! Lauren is ready for football season.

Swimming anyone?

Lauren absolutely loves to dress up. She puts on everything and most of the time none of what she puts on is neccessarily hers. These pictures are LOL fun!

Back to School Round 2

Stuart's first day of preschool with Mrs. Jill was Friday. He's now part of the BIG kid preschool class - the 4-year-olds. He is very excited to be going to school three days a week! He's also very excited to be the "man of the house" at Grammy daycare while Colin is at school.
