Halloween 2007

This year for Halloween Haley dressed as a cave girl- I wore it for a Sadie Hawkins dance (circa 1993.) Ryan is a very suave musketeer and Claire making her Halloween debut as a monkey.

Pumpkin Carving

We carved pumpkins for Halloween. Ryan's is a tiki, Chris' a witch, and Haley's pumpkin is puking pumpkin seeds (she calls it "Mom @ nine months.")

"This is not sanitary!"

Ryan was not going to stick his hand inside the pumpkin to clean the seeds out. We finally talked him into it (it is part of the whole pumpkin carving experience, right?) He thought it was so gross, and kept saying "this is NOT sanitary!" -Where does he come up with this stuff.

Beautiful Baby (8 weeks)

Isn't she beautiful? Her name is Claire and we are crazy about her! She finally slept eight hours the other night. There is nothing better than a new baby, except for one sleeps through the night. She is 8 weeks now and weights 12 lbs. She is starting to coo, smile and sometimes squeals with delight -it is so funny.

Ryan is my five year old who is always happy, loves to please and says the funniest things. I don't know were he comes up with them, but I am cracking up all day with him around. He really has a great personality. Most of all Ryan loves his new baby sister. I mean he is absolutly CRAZY about her! He sings songs to her and kisses her when ever he gets the chance. He will be VERY protective of her- I'm sure.
