Good Morning and Happy Weekend! We finally got some videos to load and share with you. Enjoy!

This first video was taken the weekend of Halloween when we went to Boo at the Zoo. It was my first train ride!

Next I am helping Mom carve a pumpkin!

Here Ellie and I are trick-or-treating.

I am sporting my shades and driving my tractor on a beautiful fall afternoon.

Reading and singing with Mom.

Trying to make Sissy laugh.

Sissy's crawling in this video... she's much faster now! We can't keep up with her!

Have a great weekend!

Sissy's "Talking" and Crawling!

Hello! We had another beautiful weekend. We've had such a nice fall so far. Want to see what we've been up to lately?

Well, when Daddy was gone in Alabama for work, Sissy was as good as could be. Here she's posing before we were off to start our days. Mom just loves those little boots! They were Elliott's at one time. I say, "Who cares about boots?" Mom says someday I'll understand.














Sissy's been saying, "Ma ma ma ma" now, too. She doesn't like to do it when the camera is on her, so... we had to be sneaky...


We had a video of Sissy crawling, but for some reason videos just aren't loading on here for Mommy anymore. She needs some help (tech support)!

On Saturday we decided to go to the Carroll football game for a little bit. At halftime, Dad and I played a little ball. I also got to see Matthias, Dad's good friend. We're going to get together with him and his family soon... can't wait!

Sunday was so gorgeous we decided to take a few pictures outside.











Here I'm giving my Sissy a kiss. I continue to love her so much.










Don't let that smile fool you... she is quite the strong-willed little girl.












I wasn't really in to taking pictures with Sissy. I wanted to drive my John Deer tractor. It was too beautiful to be just sitting outside. C'mon Mom and Dad... I just want to play!














Sissy had a blast playing in the leaves.













Then we had a little scare last night. I woke up and had trouble breathing. Mom took me to the ER where they determined I had croup. They gave me some medicine and I am feeling much better! Mom stayed home with me today and Dad is staying home tomorrow. I just took it easy today.

















We are all looking forward to Thanksgiving vacation, which will be here before we know it! Some big family news... my cousin Molly gave a verbal commitment to Stanford to run cross country and track. Congratulations Molly!

Have a wonderful week everyone! I miss you!

Love,

Jackson

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! We've had such a great weekend! On Saturday we went to "Boo at the Zoo." They had the zoo decorated for Halloween and I got to trick-or-treat. I'm really in to finding sticks right now, too, so of course I found a stick at the zoo!

I took my first train ride at the zoo and loved it!

I helped Mom and Dad carve a pumpkin.

But the best part was going trick-or-treating tonight. We went with Ellie and her brother Gavin. I had so much fun! I would run up to the door and on my way yell, "Trick-or-treat!"

We've been trying to upload videos, but they aren't working right now. We will try again another time. We hope you enjoyed your Halloween. Have a great week!

Sissy is 7 months!

Hi there! Sissy is 7 months old today! She is getting to be so much fun... most of the time (she likes to pull my hair!). She is starting to crawl and I don't know who likes to play with my Mega Blocks more - me or her. Well, I build things and Sissy sucks on them.

We enjoy taking our baths together. I help wash Sissy and she splashes and plays.

Here we are showing our Chicago Bears spirit.

Mom dressed up at her school today as a Bears football player. Dad snapped a photo of both Mom and Sissy in their pig tails.

Last weekend Mom and Dad painted their bedroom. We did go see Ellie and Gavin and their parents Saturday night, though. It was so much fun! I can't wait to go trick-or-treating with Ellie on Sunday. Once we get those pictures, we'll be sure to post them.

After tomorrow Mom only has one grad school class left - yeah! (Although I really do enjoy our pizza nights with just Dad, I don't want Mom to feel left out.)

I hope everyone is having a good week. We are counting down until Thanksgiving when Ma Mac and Aunt Kate will be visiting! Hopefully we'll post some pictures of trick-or-treating Sunday. Happy Halloween!

Love,

Happy Birthday Auntie Kady

Hi there! Sorry we didn't get a chance to post last night. Mom and Dad were tuckered out from their wedding weekend. They went to Chicago Saturday night for Maggie's wedding. They had a great time. Not as good of a time as Sissy and I had with Nana and Papa, though!

We continue to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and spend as much time outside as we can. Sissy loves to swing and watch me drive my tractor. She is also growing up to be quite the UCONN fan, just like me... and Dad. Look at that picture of her. You would have thought we were saying "cheeks" not "cheese!"

Here's a couple photos of Mom and Dad at the wedding. Pretty fancy!

Sissy and I took our first bath together tonight. I love to share my toys with her (for now).

We had some videos to post, but for some reason they are not working tonight. We will try again soon. A special birthday wish goes out to our Auntie Kady. We hope you had a special day!

Have a great week everyone!

Love,

Hello! Here is a picture of Sissy's new sweater made by "Ma Mac." She even made some hats for us, but with the very warm weather we've recently had, we haven't worn them yet!






Daddy was at Disney World early this week for a work conference. We will have to take some pictures of us wearing our Mickey gear soon! With Dad being gone, I had to be the man of the house. When Mom was working in the kitchen, I was helping take care of Sissy. I brought her toys to keep her happy! Mom said I was a very big help!

We really missed Dad, though, and are so glad he is home. We were supposed to go to the pumpkin patch today with our friends, but Sissy and me both got fevers starting last night. We are doing fine, but decided to just take it easy today.

This last video is just a better look at the sweater "Ma Mac" made Sissy. Notice how well she is sitting on her own!

We hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Love,

October Already?!

Happy Fall everyone! The next couple pics of Sissy sum up how we've been feeling a little bit lately!

This next picture is her saying how she feels on a Friday evening...

Time is sure flying, but we are enjoying it. It's hard to believe October is here and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. That means I get to see "Ma Mac" and Aunt Kate!

On Saturday, Nana and Papa were babysitting at Uncle David and Aunt Audrey's, so they brought my cousins over to play!

Sissy gave Papa some kisses...

and Jackson read with Nana.

Daddy played with Isabella and Cohen...

and we all sat down for a yummy dinner!

Thanks for the fun visit!

Looks like the Bears may have run out of luck tonight... :(

Hope you are all well. Next weekend we have plans of going to get pumpkins! Woo hoo!

Have a great week!

Love,

Jackson
