Nate's Second Halloween!

Last year was far different from this year. Last year Nate was 11 months old and a lion, he sat in the wagon and we were done after a few houses. We came back home and sat out front...he was in his pack 'n play.

This year is a whole new world for us. This year Nate is SUPERMAN!!!!! I say is because he is still wearing his costume and shoes...he won't let me take them off. This year we went out 3 times...I think #4 is coming!

1st time: We took the wagon to give our friends special treats, 2nd time: Dad came home to give candy and Nate took me everywhere...walking, 3rd time: We came home and Nate wanted to sit in his stroller and cruise the neighborhood.

I had so much fun with him and I really don't want the night to end. It is so much fun to see him enjoy Halloween.

Here is the real Superman:












And below is a slideshow of Nate, aka Superman! Everyone loved his curl! What do you think?

Annual Pumpkin Patch 2008

We had lots of fun this year at the pumpkin patch! When we arrived Nathan was fast asleep, but I was able to transfer him from the truck the wagon...woo hoo! He slept in the wagon for about 45 minutes. When he woke up he was very excited and couldn't wait to get going.This year everyone was walking around and trying to sit on and find the best pumpkins. We tried to get a group picture, I think they turned out cute! After we picked our pumpkins, we went and Nate sat on a tractor. He was in heaven and didn't want to leave it. Aunt Bec told Jerry that he has to buy Nate a tractor for Christmas. I'm sure he would if we had the room for it.All in all Pumpkin Patch '08 was great...crowded, but so AWESOME!!!!

Diabetes Walk

I forgot my camera, but decided to take a picture of me at home after the walk. Man I look tired!!! The walk is 5 miles long and I had to eat a turkey sandwich during it...thanks, Aunt Bec!

It was so much fun and cold this year. Last year was very hot and Nathan decided that he wanted to be held the whole time after mile 2 marker. So for 3 miles I held him singing, "Row Row your boat". It was the only thing that kept him from crying. Nate stayed home with dad this year and I missed them so much. So no repeat of last year....wahhh!!!

All in all the walk was a BIG success and I can't believe I got to power walk 5 miles. Go me!!!

We missed those of you who couldn't be there this year. So start getting ready for next year. You have 1 whole year to plan on being there!!!!! We'll see you next year!!!

P.S. Thank you Nana for driving us out there. You are the BEST!!!! We love you!!!
