October Update

So another month has come and gone and I forgot to blog. I do have an excuse - I am back at work so I have not had as much time. Also the last few weeks I spent every waking minute with my little man as I knew my maternity leave was coming to an end. So blogging was not a high priority! Sorry!


So now we will do an update in pictures. Because although I did not blog, we did take lots of pictures.

Family Trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Micah did great (despite the horribly windy day)

Next we made a fun trip to the Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Garden. We went early on a Saturday morning and it was a bit chilly. But we had a great time walking around and just relaxing (I was going back to work on Monday so we made it a nice little Family Day!)

Next on the agenda was to take some Halloween pictures! I love costumes so Micah was fortunate enough to have a shopaholic mom who hit up the consignment sales on the 1/2 price days (thank you maternity leave!) and he was able to have not one - but 2 costumes. I like to think of them as investments - when we have more kids we won't need to buy more costumes!

And of course we had to do a little pumpkin carving. Micah is a pro already! Okay so we did most of it (something about too young for knives..) but he seemed to enjoy watching and the seeing the finished product!

Lastly we did do some relaxing. Micah seems to change daily so now it you be the judge to see who Micah is looking like - Mom or Dad? It seems to get more difficult to tell each day! You be the judge...

It's been a month too long...

Okay so we have been BUSY at our house. Lots has gone on - we did some painting, Micah was baptised, we had a massive garage sale, and a little road trip to Iowa was all thrown in there. Micah did great this month - he is quite a laid back little man. Here are some picture updates of the little man during his big adventures!

 Little man getting baptised - he slept through it up until the water on his head. Then he woke up, smiled, and went back to sleep. Such a good little guy!

 Proud parents we are of our little man!

The proud grandparents with Micah. He had so much fun playing all weekend - I think he was disappointed when he woke up Monday and only saw me!

And he got to meet his Aunt Sarah! (Although at this point he looks a bit hungry for his hands)

We had a little bonfire in the backyard.

Micah was able to roast his first mallow!

(with help of course)

Ready for Micah's first Road Trip - to Iowa.

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME!?!?

 Just doing some fun things while in Iowa - reading some Where's Waldo, trying on some new shoes. You know - the usual!

Reading some Thomas with his cousin Logan.

And of course - getting some love from the grandparents!

(Logan was sad to see his cousin have to head back to Kansas)

Well those were some fun things for us. I go back to work on the 17th - I have loved getting to spend 4.5 months with my little man, but am really going to miss my time at home with him!
