Pumpkin Picking

A few weekends ago we went pumpkin picking with the Castor's (minus Uncle Bryan...we missed you). The kids had fun and we were able to get some great pumpkins despite the crowds. As always Oliver was great and slept for much of the experience.

Somewhere I have a picture of all the kids in the hay pile, but for some reason it did not upload, but Jack and Oliver sure are cute!


The Castor crew.




All of us.












Jack found this pumpkin on the hay ride, but reconsidered when Kate told him he had to carry it the rest of the day.












Henry also wanted a large pumpkin...




















but he also reconsidered and settled for this one.











Reed and the scarecrow...so cute.

Two Months Old!

Oliver just turned 2 months old and he continues to be the best baby ever! He is a great eater and sleeper and is the happiest little baby. He has been sleeping through the night since about 6 weeks and he takes nice long naps in his crib. We love having him in our family and feel truly blessed. Oliver weighs 13 lbs. 10 oz and is in the 89th percentile for weight and is 23 inches and is in the 72nd percentile for height. He is holding his head up well and has recently discovered the bumbo seat. Now he can sit up like a big boy and watch Henry play. Henry continues to love Oliver and kisses him all day long! Oliver sucks his thumb like a champ and loves to smile and talk to anyone who will listen.

And while I don't have any "stats" for Henry, he also just turned 2 1/2. He too is a great little boy full of personality and love. He has not quite mastered the potty, but we're not concerned and will give him a little more time. He is getting smarter and funnier each day and I love every minute I get to spend with him.
