Fun this Fall

Josie is growing up fast...as expected. She is 7 weeks now and continues to be a great baby. She alternates between sleeping 5 - 8 hours a night. Every night is different but I'm not complaining! I'm getting some great rest and that helps everyone have better days! If Momma aint happy no one is! She just smiled "for real" for the first time this weekend. No "gassy" smiles, it was a real cheeky grin showing all the gums! She opts to smile at the 4 am feedings so no one has seen them but me....Ohhh to bad! Guess if anyone wants to get up with me they are welcome to join the show. Ha Ha.

We had a fun fall festival at school this weekend as well. Check out the picture of Jonathan! He had a blast fighting with his friends. Think it was a way for those guys to relieve a little DTS stress! Jackson had fun hangin' out with his best friend Peyton while painting some pumpkins. Later he made candy apples with his Gran Pat. I think the sprinkles were his favorite part! As you can see we are having a great fall. :)


Yes his mouth is blue, but not from the temperature! He enjoyed a blue jolly rancher for a while until I discovered it and retracted the choking hazard!!


Sticker, anyone???

We had a wonderful visit last week with Gran Pat and Uncle Jake. They came to spend some time with us and to also help out. Boy did they ever help out! We enjoyed many delicious dinners together each night and Jackson enjoyed several exciting activities as well. I even stole a few hours at the local coffee shop to finish my last blog thanks to Uncle Jake doing some babysitting!



One of Jackson's favorite activities of the week was playing on his personal bounce house (aka blow up mattress). They boys wrestled every morning....and Jackson took great naps every afternoon!




Since Gran Pat gave me a hard time about being reluctant to finger paint with Jackson (just a little scared of the potential mess I may have to clean up), I bought some paint for HER to experiment with as long as I didn't have to have clean up duty! Surprisingly, Jackson didn't make the enormous mess I had pictured in my head. Kudos to Gran Pat!
