A Month in Pictures

We started out October by making an Autumn Leaf Wreath. Nora is very into leaves this year and constantly says "Look Daddy, Look Mama" whenever she finds one that catches her eye. Well, we had to do something with them, so we taped them to a paper plate and cut out the center and thus, a wreath was born. Of course she would not smile for the camera....

And, we visited the Columbus Zoo for Boo at the Zoo, where they have costume parades and treat stations. Kids wear their costumes and fun is had by all.

This year, Nora was a lion and Jack, for his first Halloween, was a giraffe.

Nora talking to a tiger, her favorite animal these days.

Jack, actually wearing his giraffe head, which he didn't for most of dress up.



And Halloween night, shared by our good friends Sara & Brandon and Jessie & David. She how cooperative their kids are? Nora was a complete pill for any pictures, although Jack looks darn cute. Maddie is the sweet bumblebee and Taryn is the cute Tiger.
And here is EKG with a sweet, genuine smile with her kitty cat, Baby Jack. Everything Eleanor thinks is a baby is affectionately called "Baby Jack" *smile* despite acting somewhat aggressively toward him (the actual baby), these days. It's been a few long weekends in October with behavior like grabbing, pinching, biting, and pushing *sigh*

And, here are some recent ones of our boy Jack, who is now crawling fast, pulling himself up on everything and everyone (even Mookie sits still for his baby) and who yells if we don't allow him to feed himself, eat whatever we are eating, or have his mama.

This last one is for Grandma, who sent this sweet outfit. LOVE it! Seriously, couldn't he do print ads?
