Halloween

Meet Russell and Mr. Fredrickson from the movie UP. They’re the cutest little friends :).

Asher loved the idea of being Russell when we first talked about it…then he wanted to be a superhero…then we found his little outdoorsy vest at Goodwill, and he was all in! We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to participate and trick or treat this year because Asher had been sick the whole week prior to the big day. He still felt “not good at all” but he insisted in dressing up and walking to a few houses. It was a short lived Halloween, but the pictures will last forever :).

And, yes, there was glasses and balloon drama, ha!!

Riding around people watching.

Things were a little too quiet. Caught red handed, ha!

Happy Halloween!

Punkie Bear…sigh…you are such a precious child. Last night Daddy and I were sitting together and watching you and your brother laugh and play, and we were talking about how much joy you have brought to our family. You are a total treat to take care of. You are flexible, happy, cute as can be, and you’ve been sleeping until at least 9:00a every morning for months now…do you know what a blessing that is to parents?! You’re also the most polite baby I’ve ever known, saying “tank too” every time someone hands you something. You do throw yourself on the floor when you don’t get your way, but even after a time out and an explanation of why you can’t do that you respond with an “otay”. You are a blessing, and you make us smile all day long :).

Kissing baby Jesus, and your baby toes…sweetness.

Time outs are hard :).

Something else you’re working on is grace and avoiding injury…mostly to your poor little head! You had to get four stitches on your eye brow. You fell off the kitchen chair and somehow cracked your head. It was awful. Holding you down and watching you get stitches was awful, and something your Daddy and I would like to avoid again…please. You’re going to have to learn some moves from your brother :).

Speaking of sweetness. I came across this old video of Asher, and it just melted me listening to his little voice. I cannot believe how much he’s grown. We love watching him grow and learn…but this made me watch to jump through the screen and squeeze little Asher again :).
