Picking Out Pumpkins

This year we kept it simple and picked our pumpkins at The Home Depot.

Rain!

Anna's changing table is right up against the window and she loves to look out! (especially when I'm trying to change her diaper) Yesterday the rains came... and they stayed alllll day long. Anna really enjoyed watching the rain out her window:-).

Alex Is 2 & Anna Has Mastered A New Trick!

With a "Big Boy" 2 year old running around, and a very busy 8 month old, I am finding it very difficult to get ANYTHING done! O.K., well, not ANYTHING, but not much! Thus, blogging is neglected. That said, here are a few pictures of our most recent happenings... Alexander's 2nd birthday "parties", and Anna's new found trick!

Alex turned 2 on September 24th. It was a fun day filled with cupcakes! We had some friends over in the morning- they brought cupcakes... we went to Grandma Joyce's house for lunch and a little celebration with Great Grandma Richardson- more cupcakes... and then after dinner we had to celebrate with Daddy, of course- more cupcakes!

Alex LOVES birthdays!! Oh, and I forgot to mention that he is a pro at blowing out candles! I don't know how he learned it, but he knew: when to blow, how to blow, and he got both candles out on the first blow!

Here are a few pictures from his big birthday party with friends and family a week later:

Now for Anna... this little girl is growing up WAY to fast! On October 6th, this is how I found her:

Now she is pulling herself up on everthing. She loves to stand:)!
