Happy Halloween

With love from,

Batman

Cinderella

and a very sweet banana.

Pumpkins by Brian and Bern, and only one scratch in the kitchen table.

Sad and Silly

Sad news first, the older germy kids infected the precious little baby with a cold. Gabbi is snorting around like a little piggy. Here she is trying to get away from it all.

On the silly front, Richard Simmons came to our house and dressed Bella last night, note the gloves that are being worn as leg warmers.

Bella changes clothes at least four times a day. She has changed her mind on her Halloween costume 6 times. Finally I had to decide for her. She also remembers special events by what she was wearing and or eating. We'll say "remember when you went to see Dora Live?", and she say "yes and I wore my bootiful polka dot dress and white easter shoes and had popcorn for a snack." She can remember what she was wearing and eating as far back as 2 years ago. I believe Brian's credit cards will be in serious trouble soon.

fall fun

These pictures make me happy.

Bern was a bit camera shy (maybe because he was wearing his 2T sized cowboy costume) but let me take one.

Green Day

Bernard had a good day at school yesterday and made up a little ditty to go with it. Bella was not impressed. Sorry it's sideways, I always forget it turns up like that if I turn the camera.

In other news Gabbi had her 2 month checkup yesterday and weighs 13 lbs! She is pleasantly plump. I disinfected my hands 323 times at the office, hopefully we can keep her healthy this season. I gave Bern a lecture on washing his hands at school a lot, and he promptly sneezed and wiped his nose with his hand. It's not going to be an easy battle.

2 months old!

Who's the sweetest little lady that sleep for 7 hour stretches,

Smiles, coos, and sucks her hand like it's coated in chocolate,

and lights up when her brother and sister come in the room?

It's Gabbi, otherwise known as Gabbilicious, because she is delicious.

Batman and Robin

Pumpkin patch 2009, otherwise known as watch Brian and Heather scramble to parent 3 kids.

Bella locating the perfect pumpkin.

Bella realizing the pumpkin got her muddy.

King of the hay bales.

Scary.

Hayride

Muddy boy.

Gabbi and mommy.

Some of the kids in our small group.

The pumpkin patch was not the most relaxing this year as Bella was grouchy, Bern was a tad naughty, and Gabbi screamed a bit too much. But, we got some good pics and at the end of the day it's not about how much fun you have, it's about looking like you had fun in the pictures.

Guess who's 32?

Hope you had a day as good as this one! We love you lots!

Muffin Top

Brian was dressing Gabbi for church and was amused at her chunkiness in tights. He took some pics:

she was not amused.

Wish muffin top was as cute on me as it is on her.
