Quick Update on the Newest Family Member

Just wanted to post our latest sonogram pictures for those of you who haven't seen it yet. Baby is doing well...he or she was rocking and rolling during "camera time." Right now, the baby measures EXACTLY the same length as Lucas, so we are right on track :)  Can wait to find out if it is a girl or boy at the January sonogram!!

Halloween 2011 - Elmo

We had LOTS of Halloween celebrations with Lucas this year. He got an Elmo costume, and seeing his face when he saw himself in the mirror for the first time was TOTALLY worth every penny :) I was really impressed at home Lucas did with all the people on Halloween. I think he enjoyed handing out candy to the neighborhood kids more than anything else. He still says "people outside candy" quite often and goes to check the door to see if someone is there!  Here are some highlights from our many, many Halloween adventures this year...

Lucas at his preschool Halloween. I love this picture because the only thing he has told me about school in three months is "Goldfish." Apparently, this is why...

Costumes off...time to eat cookies :)

This was at our church's Trunk or Treat. He wasn't sure about the crowds of people at first, but quickly warmed up.

He loved playing all the games, and the people were so nice about helping him "win". He especially loved this throwing game and the golfing one.

Lucas and Mommy in front of the balloon. I think he watched them blowing it up ("Woah!  Fire!") for about 25 minutes.

Love that smile!!!!

Ready to hand out candy to the Trick or Treaters!!

Pumpkin Party

Soooo...it's been a month since I have posted - YIKES!  Sorry about that little fall off the wagon. It's been a crazy few weeks around here. I have big hopes to get caught up over the next couple of weeks, so brace yourselves for a bunch of posts :)

Anyway, back in October, we hosted a "Pumpkins and Pizza" party for our Sunday School class. We had about 8 families come over to carve pumpkins, decorate cookies, eat pizza, and generally create chaos!  It was crazy, but fun, and we hope that the tradition continues in years to come.

Lucas and Mommy, ready to party!
