Yesterday Mommy and Aunt Bethie took Annalise and Sean back to Kuiper’s Family Farm for more apples (yum!) and another photo shoot in the pumpkin patch. Annalise and Sean picked these two pumpkins out to bring home. Today, Annalise wanted to decorate the pumpkins with stickers. As she was decorating the big one, she said that “this one is for Grandma”.

“they are going to be so happy when they come home” –Annalise

When she was done, she said she needed one for Papa, so she decorated the small one for Grandpa. She was very happy with her work (she even let Sean help, a little) and said “they are going to be so happy when they come home”. 

Happy Halloween Grandma and Grandpa!

Decorated Pumpkins

It’s been rather busy around the house, and I’ve been trying to find the time to create this new, consolidated blog. Consequently, we’ve yet to post an entry to say that — we’re expecting our third! The due date is November 10th. A couple weeks ago, after returning from Las Vegas, we went in for our “20 week” ultrasound. Grandma and Aunt Bethie were there when we learned … it’s a boy and here he is:

A couple days ago, my Mommy and Aunt Bethie took Sean and I to the Brookfield Zoo. Here I am taking a little break.

Mommy, Daddy, and Aunt Bethie took me to see this guy they call Santa Claus. Can you believe it? He was wearing pretty much the same outfit that I was! As you can tell, I wasn’t too happy!

Mommy and Daddy took me out to the Ashbury community pool this past week. I’m still working out the kinks to this “swimming” thing, but I had a pretty good time – big cousin Keara went with me to show me the ropes! Since Mommy had to work this weekend ( ), Daddy took me with Aunt Bethie and the Harvey’s out to our cabin. This was my third trip there, but my first time in the pool in Dahinda. I stayed a bit longer this time and even went into 4′ deep water. I thought you might enjoy some videos and pictures, so check out the photos starting with this page in my photo gallery.
