Santa Claus

We took a trip to Nana's house in Somerset for Thanksgiving. Santa was at the Somerset Mall and Jordan loved him.

Belated Birthday

I was glad to find out tonight that I am not the only one who takes a long time to post pictures or send them to friends. Our friends Jill and Steve took some great pictures at Jordan's birthday party back in July and just sent them to me tonight. Here are some of them.

Wednesday was picture day at school. Mommy had to leave early that morning for Indianapolis, so Daddy was in charge of dressing Jordan. Luckily, he has a very fashionable Daddy. Here, I was trying to take some pictures and he insisted on getting the camera to "help."


Then, once he found a box to climb on, he decided he wanted to pose. He loves to say "Cheeeese."

This is the newest toy from Nana - a steering wheel that Jordan can "drive" in his car seat. It plays very loud music and makes lots of "car" sounds. Thanks Nana.

I'm not sure what's happening here, but it was just too cute not to post.


Not sure what we're going to do about the thumb-sucking, but it's really cute.

Tonight, we went to an art studio. Theo Edumnds is a local artist who has a gallery in the old distillery district here in Lexington. Jordan loves abstract art.

And this was spontaneous. Priceless.

Mommy and Daddy finally cleaned out the garage this weekend and Jordan helped . . ..



Jordan loves his "bicycle," but he hasn't quite figured how to ride it yet.

Trick or Treat

Last night, we went trick or treating. Both Daddy and Jordan dressed up like firemen. Daddy's costume was especially convincing because he borrowed it from the local fire department. The neighbors now think he is a fireman.

The costumes presented a little bit of a dilemma. The reflectors prevented the use of a flash (or if I used one, I just got a big blur), so I had to turn it off and some of them are a little fuzzy.

Here's Jordan ready to go out the door with him pumpkin. "Mommy, let's go get candy at some people's houses." ("some people" is his reference to anyone he doesn't know)



Jordan loved going to people's doors and getting candy. We have such a polite child that we couldn't convince him to say "trick or treat" because every time we asked, "what you do you say?", his response was "Thank you."



Jordan's boots were a little heavy and in general, he just didn't understand the hurry. It took us about half an hour to make it around the block once, so after that, we decided to come back and hand out candy.

Here are my two handsome boys eating some candy together . . . .


Chocolate is the clear favorite and it tastes much better when it's on your face as well as in your mouth . . .




Mommy got to join in on the fun too.

Sleeping on the day he was sick . . ..

A precious picture of my baby sleeping.

No fall festival

You would be able to see pictures here from Jordan's school's fall festival - complete with his fireman costume, I'm sure more bouncy house pictures and lots of games. Unfortunately, he came home from school early yesterday because he was sick. We thought it was just the fact that he didn't sleep well last night, but he had a fever even after a long nap. I took him to the doctor and while we were in the exam room, he threw up - all over himself AND me. Not good for a nauseous pregnant woman to have to breathe that in and hold her sick child, but I made it. And so did he. It appears he just had some kind of stomach bug. He seems to be feeling a lot better now.

He's going to Nana's this weekend, so I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures to share on Monday!
