Pumpkin Patch

It's a beautiful day today...so we decided to take advantage of the great weather and go to the Pumpkin Patch. Well, everyone and their kids were there too BUT it was worth it. Jake was in awe of all the other kids and it was tough to get a smile out of him but I finally got this shot of him...



Hope you are enjoying your October as much as we are!! Hugs...

October Happenings...

We have some news...it's not what you're thinking! Pauli's getting married and yesterday we (Jake and I) met Bill. We are thrilled for Pauli and happy to welcome Bill. He was so sweet to Jake and it was a lovely afternoon at City Place.

Here is a picture of Jake's new Grandpa and the rest of the family. Including Anya's mom, Nadia....

2!

Jake had a wonderful birthday! We celebrated with Grandpa Mike and our friends and neighbors. It was a bit rainy by the time dinner was being served, so we brought everyone inside for dessert. Jake was super tired but managed to enjoy some of the cake! Here are a few pictures from the party…



Jake under the umbrella with his friend...


Hot dog & chips seemed like a good idea until Jake wouldn't eat anything but the chips!


We moved inside to see if he would eat something else...


Waiting on his cake...licking his lips!!


I'm still hooked on the idea of only baking his birthday cakes. I'll see if this still holds up next year!!


We were all singing, but he was sooo tired. It was well after 8 (his bedtime is 7:30)


Who me? I'm 2?


I let Jake have the candle because I thought he would like to lick the icing off the candle, but he started eating the candle instead!



Right now Jake is talking more...and basically either repeating everything or questioning everything. He loves reading at night before bed. We can ask him to bring us a book about puppies or the moon and he will bring us one on the subject. We think he is brilliant, wink wink but we are just so thrilled he is doing well that any little thing he does is just sooo special to us. We are really lucky!!
