Belated Pumpkin Patch Pics

I am a little late putting these pictures up, but enjoy! We search for a pumpkin and tree every year, but how much more fun it is to pick one out with our beloved Owen! May the cheesy holiday pics begin!

Reformation Day...and the Great Pumpkin.

Our family

So today began like most other weekends, relaxing, hitting up our favorite local coffee shop "Element", and doing a little work on the addition. But, being that today is Reformation Day/Halloween, we decided to celebrate and begin traditions with Owen that we can modify eventually.

This morning, as construction went on in the addition, we (Owen and I) watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". Owen was absolutely enraptured. He kept staring and smiling at the screen. The Charlie Brown series' are so enjoyable and very darling, I am enjoying working on the collection. As of right now, I have the three fall holidays. I especially enjoy Christmas, because they present the full-blown Gospel, no holds barred. That's the way we roll around here.

We then decided that eventually we will watch both Charlie Brown and Luther. Because all of you who know us, know that we are very passionate about our Reformed Fathers, who paved the way for freedom in our faith, as we know it.

We spent part of the day playing Rummy, shooting portraits for our business, and fellowshiping with dear friends.

At the end of our day, we walked casually around Somis, from door to door of our dear neighbors, showing Owen off to them. The small streets were FILLED with trick-or-treaters, and everyone saying hi by name. Love Somis. Then we hit the Edwards' for a little bit of celebration. A great night.

Enjoy the pics.

Owen the cinematographer

Owen kept grabbing the video camera, holding it steady and shooting film~It's so neat to see what life looks like through Owen's eyes!

On a hunt

Well, I have been obsessively looking for the darling series "Frog and Toad Together" on dvd online. I cannot find ONE dvd available, and all the vhs are discontinued! I first saw these darling claymation videos in the classroom that I used to work in. When we started registering for Owen, we opened an Amazon account, in which we have a wishlist for Owen, full of books and cute videos for someday when he is old enough. I received Frog and Toad Together books, that I read to Owen every few days. We both really enjoy the time and I fully enjoy the stories. Toad reminds me of me in so many ways, I laugh as I read the cute stories.

Anyways, here is a little video clip of the darling claymation video, enjoy, until I can find myself a dvd for O.

Owen couldn't stop laughing. Good thing Stacie had her iPhone video camera out and rearing to go!

The best medicine

You know what they say about laughter...

Chet did this with little O for about five minutes. The video ended before Owen projectile spit up on Daddy, in which he got Daddy's shorts and shirt doused with spit up. Miraculously, our boy remained spotless. :)
