Happy Halloween!

Jake had a really fun Halloween this year.  On Friday they had their helicopter drop at school, and then after pre-k, we got to go hang out at Mommy's school for their Monster Math night.  Then, on Sunday, we celebrated Pete's birthday and then came back home to trick-or-treat and pass out candy (and pretzels) with Meme and Papa.

Also, here are a few videos that we made with Jake this past week.  Hope you enjoy them!

Pumpkin Time

We had a great time last night when we walked up to Wilson Barn.  Jake got to ride a pony, jump in the bounce house, and go through a haunted house.  Thankfully we were able to request that the monsters were friendly instead of scary.  Otherwise, I'm not sure even Mommy would have made it through OK.  Instead of getting jumped at, the monsters said boo pretty quiet and Jake was able to give them high fives and wish them a Happy Halloween.  We then grabbed some delicious cider and made our way back home.  Here are some pictures.

Hello Fall

We've had a very good, but very busy fall so far.  We've had several birthdays to celebrate, football to tailgate for and watch, and are in the middle of selling and buying a new house (more on that if/when it actually goes through).

I think you'll get more details from the picture captions, so without further ado... September and October.

Jake has decided that he really likes taking photographs.  He took an exhaustive number at the Grand Blanc Homecoming parade, so I went ahead and put them into a movie.  A lot of them are actually pretty good.  The lens placement is tough for grownups, so I'm not surprised to see a few fingers make their way into the sides of the shot.  It is really cute watching him hold the camera when he's trying really hard NOT to get his fingers in the way!
