Like Father Like Son

O getting his game face on before BYU vs. New Mexico. I'd like him to take our game prep a little more seriously, but I suppose he'll learn with time.

Now that O is 7 months old, I figured it was high time for him to meet Snoopy. I was somewhat obsessed with Snoopy as a little boy, so I wanted to see if O shared my affinity. I think they hit it off just fine.

Pumpkin Patch 2008

For play group today we met up at a huge pumpkin patch over in Flower Mound. O was more than happy to have his picture taken in a pile of pumpkins, but unlike last year, C was too cool for such nonsense this time around.

Here he is being cute.

Here he is being sweet and cute.

Just look at him. Sweet, cute, and curious.

I can't get enough.

C looks bored to death.

Yup, still bored.

Mildly excited about the life size Care Bear figures.

But, overall, still bored.

It turns out she was just tired.

Picture was taken at a stop light less than 5 minutes after we left.

Laughing Babies

D has a real knack for making our children laugh.

Our Wicked Little Witch

I know Halloween is several weeks away still, but here's a little preview.
