We had a great Halloween. Jake definitely knew what to do this year… Ring the door bell and say “Trick or Treat”. He even managed to say “you’re welcome” (that what he says instead of thank you) and “Happy Halloween” a few times after he got candy. He even has his priorities straight, he tripped a couple times and never let go of his candy container. He did drop it once however… we came to a decorated house with a bucket full of candy saying “Please take 2, we are out” next to a stuffed gorilla. Jake went to get his candy and there was a man in the gorilla suit that came alive… Jake dropped his bucket and hauled A$$ off the porch. I thought I was going to pee myself!
He and little Presley were adorable and they had a great time.

"Trick or Treat"

So many houses, so little time!

I had hernia surgery last Tuesday, so I have been laid up since then. I’m feeling better now, the first few days were a doozy.

The boys are going great. Hard to believe we have two boys. Tyler is growing like crazy, which makes sense he eats like crazy. He is almost out of his 3-6 months clothes. Jake is doing great to, active as ever. Kristin took him to meet his little girlfriend Presley at the pumpkin patch near our house today.

No Fear!

We had a great time in Maryland. We were pretty busy seeing the family. Jake got to introduce Tyler to everyone. The plane rides were pretty long, especially for a 2 and a half year old. At one point I was ready to show Jake where the blue water in the lavatory went. Tyler was a champ though, and didn’t make a peep.

Excited to head to Maryland to see everybody this week. We all went down to the lake this morning to feed the ducks.
