Pumpkin Carving

We found a GREAT cider mill near us and had a blast picking out our pumpkins from the approx. 4 acre pumpkin patch!! (sorry, the pictures are loaded in opposite order)


Lilly showing off the first of two pumpkins. This one has a bat carved in it.

Baby George's face after holding and then tasting some of the insides of the pumpkin!

Brother laughing at sister who is encouraging him to hold but not eat the pumpkin insides (she really looks out for him:)


Lilly beginning to scoop out the pumpkin. This is a far improvement from last year when she wouldn't even touch the pumpkin at all. This year she would not touch the insides of the large pumpkin, but dove right into the small one!



Lilly carefully watching daddy do the big pumpkin, not so sure about joining in.

Settling In

We are all beginning to settle into temporary apartment living for the time being.
Our closing on hour Belleville house got delayed and we are shooting for Oct 9th. We have moved into our apartment and the kids transitioned flawlessly. They LOVE the new daycare and I am loving the staff that I am working with at Sylvan!

George loves being able to sit for longer periods of time now as he can choose his own toys from his toybox!

Paper is the most exciting toy right now which makes it easy to take him to a restaurant because he will spend the entire time tearing up napkins (and trying to sneak some for a snack).
George just began eating puffs yesterday and loves this new chewing idea. We knew he was ready when he began "chewing" with us when we were eating.
