Lily's Preschool Halloween

We left Lily's Minnie ears at Dave's work so she ended up being a doctor for her school parade. It was kind of funny actually...amidst the princesses and pirates, was our girl in scrubs.

Lily's Class

Halloween at Harter Secrest

Harter Secrest hosted their annual Halloween gathering for the kids this week. We had a nice time visiting David and the kids love going to Dad's office. They were on good behavior--which always makes for a nice outing. Here is Major Archer and Minnie Mouse.

Dad and his three kiddos!

Look, I'm not wearing sweats!

Looking for candy. This must have been early because it looks so empty. There were a lot of kids there though and some really cute costumes. Before we left Lily told Jack that she would be an astronaut for Halloween next year. Jack said, "Girls can't be astronauts." Oh Jack. We cleared that up before we left. Good thing. There was another astronaut roaming the halls of Harter Secrest and it was indeed a girl! I wish I had gotten a picture of them both.

Silly guy.

I wish Lily didn't have remnants of donut on her face but it's still cute.

Dad and his boys

Love this shot of David and Jack. I wish Miss. Archer would have cooperated.

Little Bumblebee. He's got lashes like his siblings

A Day at the Garden Factory with the Tracy's

If There Is Any Sort of Wedding Photo Montage...

This one should get top billing. I'm sorry, but does it get much better?

"Whatcha doin' Jack?"

Charlie

Wow, I've been slacking. I haven't been able to upload pics-- had to figure out the card reader on the computer. Anyhow, the little man is now 6 weeks old. He weighs 11 lbs and I forget how long he is but he's in the 77th percentile for height. I'll have to go dig out the slip. Yikes. The doctor thinks he has colic. I would have guessed reflux. Whatever the case, he can be a little challenging in the wee hours of the morning. Aside from that though, he's a pretty good baby! The kids are so sweet with him.

Here are some pictures. I must say that I really do think he looks like Jack when Jack was this age (he's ever starting to get the receding hairline). He just started smiling, I believe voluntarily, this week. He has dimples!

6 weeks old!


Charlie and Big Sis while Jack was at school. Note the beginnings of his receding hairline.

Dimple!

Trying to talk!
