Let the Christmas Season Begin!

Gary and I decided to start decorating for Christmas this weekend. We know that it's a little early, but we usually spend most of the holidays in Memphis with our family and only have a few weeks to enjoy all the decorations. We had a lot of fun picking out the lights and getting them around the house. Andrew had fun playing outside during all of this, and our dog, Chipper probably enjoyed chewing up one of our big extension cords today :)

HALLOWEEN 2009!

Here's our little monkey.

Getting ready for some trick-or-treating.....

We had a lot of fun sitting outside in our chairs passing out candy to the neighbors. He only wanted to wear the top part of his costume for a short time, so he's taking a break with a snack :)

Andrew and Nathan went trick-or-treating in the wagon together. Nathan is Jennie and Brock's little boy, and they are our neighbors and part of our Sunday school class at Parkway.

Gary and I dressed up like Mario and Luigi for the Fall Festival at Parkway. We were so busy that we forgot to take a picture together with the 3 of us, but here are 2 pictures from that night.

Ravioli Dinner

Here are a few pictures that Gary took during dinner the other night. Andrew is a complete mess after eating his ravioli.

Andrew is learning to use a spoon and fork. He still prefers to use his hands, but he will use the spoon if I help him get the food on it.


Being silly....



This face means "I'm all done!"
