Happy Halloween!


The boys and I are enjoying a quiet Halloween at home. We are recovering from a fun night of trick-or-treating. It was a great no-coats-necessary temperature outside so we were able to spend time visiting with neighbors.

Tyler has had two indoor soccer games so far this season. He scored three goals in the first game and one in the second game. He seems to have a lot of fun running up and down the gym floor.

Drew is 9 months old today. He is crawling all around and pulling up on furniture now. He spends his free time trying to play with Tyler's toys. Tyler spends much of his time rescuing his belongings and muttering "Stop it, Drew!" Oh what fun!

Drew is starting to eat table food along with his baby food now. He is a pretty happy baby unless he is hungry...then, watch out!

I take Drew to a music class at Tyler's preschool once a week where I sing songs and he gnaws on the shaky eggs & rhythm sticks. We start baby laptime at Clive Library next week.

Brian and I signed up to teach Tyler's Kingdom Quest Sunday School class at church. We take turns teaching every other week. It is fun being involved in the faith journey of these little people.

Click on the "Video Clips" link in the upper right corner to see some recent video of the boys. It is fun to peek at the old videos, too, and see how much Tyler has changed.

Pumpkin Kissin'



The boys and I visited a pumpkin patch with Grandma Linda while we were in Eastern Iowa this past weekend. Tyler had fun running around checking out all the fun things to do and especially liked the tire horse swing and picking out mini pumpkins to put in the wagon. Drew seemed to really like the pumpkins, too! Every chance he got he would try to give them kisses.
