First of all, the big kids. This picture sums things up pretty well -- Elyse and Will are such good friends and we always joke that they don't realize that they aren't actually related because most of the time they are either loving each other or fighting like siblings. I love this picture because I feel like it's a glimpse at what they will look like as big kids. Not that I'm rushing it.:)
And the little lady. She is now 4 months old -- and 5 months is creeping up on us! She's a great baby, with a beautiful smile and pretty easygoing personality. She still loves to talk -- so that will be fun later, right? :) Here is our sweet girl, showing off for the camera.
With her big 4 month birthday came the introduction to a little cereal for the little one too. As you can see, she is loving joining the table!
Will has been anxiously awaiting Bellamy being able to eat things -- he keeps asking if he can make her some vegetables. So needless to say, he wasn't missing out on the first cereal eating -- and he wanted to feed her too. Looks like they make a pretty good team...
One of Will's favorite parts of the month of October is the pumpkin patch at church. We have to go out and explore them every Sunday after church - he loves it! Must be that farmer gene in him...
We always have to try and take pictures while we are in the pumpkins, but it is definitely harder to pin him down than it used to be! I would have loved to get pictures with both kids, or us as a family, or anything close to any of that, but it totally didn't happen. Here's a glimpse of what we do have...
The little people hanging out in the pumpkins...
And the bigger little people!
Will also decided that we had to make a jack-o-lantern this year, so he and Todd picked out a pumpkin to bring home and carve. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, but either way they both had a great time. It is the one part of Halloween that Will does seem to like and it was so fun to watch them work on their "face" together.
Every year our church has a big Trunk Treat celebration that we have been a part of since Will was born. It's a great chance for the kids to hang out in their costumes, get some candy, and better yet -- have the whole thing over in an hour. :) Will actually has not developed much of a love of the holiday (I swear I try not to influence him on that one!) so we really have to talk him into dressing up, but he does love to go and see his friends. He told us this year that he wasn't wearing a costume, but that he would wear his cowboy clothes. Not sure the difference, but it made him happy and got us out the door. :)
Todd took Will a few weeks ago to get "real" cowboy boots so he has been wearing them non-stop lately. Pair them with his jeans that "have the leather on the back" (wranglers) and you have a cowboy costume. He actually has a hat and lasso, and at some point in the night starting chewing on a sucker stick to complete the outfit. So here's our little Marlboro man as Todd called him. :)
And, thanks to AJ, Bellamy had a few dress up worthy items herself. I added some football legwarmers and she was all set! WIll called her a football fairy princess. :)
This past weekend we took advantage of the good weather and checked out Dewberry Farms. It's a great attraction for little kids that is only open for a short time each year. And since our guy is such a fan of all things farm related, we had to check it out.
Doesn't he look like a natural?
Enjoying the tractor train with Daddy!
Checking out the pig races...
It's been a great fall! I can't believe that the holiday season is right around the corner -- but it does mean we are that much closer to spending time with many of you!
Happy Fall!
