Just around the riverbend.

Little Pocahontas at the ward's Halloween party.


Pocahontas and Henry the Lion. Carolina literally held on to his mane most of the evening. He is so patient with her love.



Baby pumpkin.


I was really looking forward to taking Carolina to the Hallelujah party at the local Mennonite church, but she ended up with the croup the night before and I took her to the ER. There is nothing quite as scary as waking up in the middle of the night to your child wheezing for air. So she ended up watching Dora and handing out candy.



We went to the local Arboretum to take some family pictures. We took 125 of them and this is about how good all of them turned out. Carolina is looking at the camera in about 5 of them.





This one did turn out cute.






It's so nice having Grandma Carolyn for a visit.

And we (aka John) painted our basement blue. Looks so great!

Chubba Bubba

I am now four months old and here are my stats:
-27 inches (95%). The Dr. says I will make a good football player, but momma won't let me play after the segment she saw on 60 minutes about football players and brain injuries.
-17 lbs (75%). My mom thinks my chubbiness is adorable, but she got a little nervous after reading this article a friend posted. Yikes!
-I sleep through the night (most of the time)!! I can barely keep my eyes open past 7pm and I open them around 7:30am. Momma so happy.
-I am learning to pick up things. It's very cute because I act like my arm weighs 20 pounds and it won't bend at the elbow when I'm reaching.

Cold (er)

It's starting to cool down here and I love it. We're hoping it will force Li'l C.1 to finally start wearing clothes. So far no luck since she just puts on her hat and gloves and thinks she's "warm".
