Jack(son)-O-Lantern

It might be a little early to think about Halloween, but Jackson's ready. He pulled 2 loose teeth out on Sunday. He already has one open spot, so he looks a little like a pumpkin! He is so cute. He's lost 5 teeth so far. On the other end of the spectrum, Jude is getting 7 teeth - talk about drool! He's getting 4 molars and 3 canines - ouch! Almost all seven have broken through, but they're not completely in. We're just a bunch of teething fools around here.

Nature Update

Our neighbor found this creature yesterday and quickly got it to Jackson! After looking in the field guide, Jackson is pretty sure it's a newt - not 100% sure, though. It changes colors - bright orange was by far the coolest. He did let it go back to its natural habitat after inspecting it. So cool!

Just some close ups of the boys and a rare shot together! Happy Birthday to Jeremy (yesterday). Love you H - you're the best thing in our lives; the best Dad, the best husband, the best everything. You mean so much to us.

Happy Birthday Jeremy

Jeremy turns 34 on Tuesday, but we celebrated today. Thanks all for coming out! We spent a good deal of time outside - it was so beautiful out.

The kids had a great time fishing (thanks Uncle Weeze), climbing trees, walking around the lake, and eating ice cream!

Story Hour

Jackson has one more day of story hour @ the Lilly Library. He has been going there (thanks to Ga Ga) for ovr 2 years. He'll get to go back again next summer. Last week was bike safety week. It was also the week the kids got their butterflies to take home and release.

Watkins Glen, NY - great water fall, great george. We rode a bus to the top of the falls and then hiked one and a half miles to the bottom. On our way we saw awesome waterfalls, beautiful landscapes, and neat rock formations. It was much more than we expected. If you ever get the chance to go - you must see this place.
