ANNUAL FAMILY PICS...

They are a stressful activity for me, but I always love the results. We took our annual family pictures in mid-October, and just got the pics back yesterday. They were also Lance's 6 months pictures and he did great. I thought babies were hard to photograph- that is until we tried with a 2 1/2 year old. We LOVE Chuck! Here are a couple of my favorites.

READY TO MOVE...

Lance made a big stride today. He looked at Kurt and I, hoped up on his knees and started to rock back and forth. I caught it on tape. Look at my "little" guy go!

OUR GOBLINS...

The boys wish you all a very Happy Halloween!

6 MONTHS, FOOTBALL, APPLES & PUMPKINS...

I love the fall! We have been incredibly busy over the past few weeks, spending lots of time enjoying all that a Michigan fall can offer.

First of all, our little guy celebrated his half-year birthday. Lance is six months old! He is all about real food. Carrots and pears are his favorites so far, but I think the other kinds will grow on him. He is moving all around too. He can't crawl yet, but put him on the ground, and that little man will army crawl/face scoot himself across the floor. He also sits up like a big boy and can't get enough of his mama. He is such a sweet pea.



Football is too much fun. Although it can be hard to manage, we have been going to as many games as possible. We made it to MSU to watch the Spartans take on Wisconsin. It was a bit cold, but fun. The following weekend, we took a trip out to Michigan to watch UM vs. State. In true Michigan fashion, it was 80 degrees and hot. A super 30 degree swing from the weeknd prior.




Our most recent fall festivity was a trip to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch. It was great to pick apples with the boys, Mimi and Papa, and on our way home, we stopped by a local farm stand to see the World's Largest Pumpkin, weighing in at 1,725 pounds. It was a beautiful day!

OH DADDY...

I leave my baby alone with his daddy for two days, and look what he learns. Ahhh...
