We went to a costume party Saturday night, evening...we're not out late these days with a baby. I went as Wendy Darling, Oliver as my Teddy, and Brad as Peter Pan (Peanut Butter). Oliver also helped hand out candy in his bear costume that his Great Aunt Sue sent him in the mail right after our visit Mid Oct. I'll try to post some of those pictures from the trip that Oliver and I made to PA. (This is Kimberly posting...I forgot to sign-in under my account after Brad just posted.)

Fall Leaves

So this past Wednesday 90% of the leaves off our giant oak tree fell off. There were so many leaves that I decided that I couldn't afford to buy the special city bags to throw them out, and decided instead that the street sweeper would have to pick them up (when ever he finally makes it around again.) There were so many leaves that I gave up on the rake and used the snow shovel instead. Perhaps that was a bad omen....
Now normally I hate people who leave their leaves to blow up and down the street, but in this case I don't think that they are going to blow very far...
It's hard to see in this picture, but you can just see the beginning of the giant mound of leaves that's spread out in the street along the entire front of our yard.

Again another month has gone by and Oliver is 16 weeks old (tomorrow). We took the red rocking chair picture last night. There are a number of cute ones! He is finally willing to smile with a camera around. Its been a battle to hide the camera from him and catch him smiling. He is a fairly quite baby, but when he gets started he'll laugh and talk and laugh some more. Brad and Oliver spend time on the floor playing together every night. It makes me smile and sometimes laugh to just hear them in the other room!
