Pumpkin carving

While Grandma and Grandpa were here, we carved some pumpkins. Carter liked the idea until he saw inside the first one. We still had fun. In NY we had to worry about them freezing after they were carved but in SC you have to carve them late because they start to grow things inside. I will spare you all those pictures.

Halloween

Here is our little ladybug. One of the young women is holding her. Something tells me she is not going to have very good memories from her first Halloween.

Here is the rest of the family. Carter was not thrilled about being a boxer. He only agreed to it to get candy. I guess the date was wrong on the camera because it really was Halloween that all happened.

This is a better one of Carter. Both Jon and Carter won prizes in the costume contest.

A little bigger

Here is picture from tonights bath. She has gotten a bit bigger than this one taken when she was 2 weeks old.

Cool hat

The other day we were leaving for work and when we opened the door Carter realized it was cold. He wanted to wear a hat and so he grabbed Jon's fishing style hat and put it on. Jon told him that he looked cool in that hat and Carter agreed. When he got in the car he told Jon that Jon could wear it. Jon asked if he was sure and Carter said that he was so Jon took the hat. They said their good byes and we took off for Lisa's house. Carter was making sad noises from the backseat and I asked him what was wrong. He proceeded to tell me that he had been cool with the hat on but now he was sad because Jon had taken the hat from him and now he wasn't cool any more. When i told Jon the story later, he felt so bad but I told him that I had reassured Carter that he was still cool even though he did not have the hat on any more.

Before and After

Here is the before and after pictures of Hannah with her church outfit. She received many comments about her hair bow today.

Here is before:

And here is after:

Baby Shower

One of my dear friends from church had a baby shower for me and Hannah yesterday at her home. We (Hannah) got a lot of great things. We are grateful for her thoughtfulness! Thanks Denise.
Carter's friend Alex was there and he loved Hannah. I think he gave her more attention than Carter ever has. I guess Alex doesn't have to share his mom with Hannah.
I love the pink!

More Hannah

I have had a request for more Hannah pictures. I realize that newborns don't "do" much so here is what she does do well.

We are glad that she does sleep well. She seems to have three awake times. They are 7:30 AM, 4 PM and unfortunately 11:30 PM. We are hoping to make the last one a bit earlier but at only three weeks old, we can't complain. It was wonderful having my mother-in-law here for 4 days. I had not gotten that much sleep in a million years...or at least two weeks. I am a wimp about not getting enough sleep.
