Boo!

We celebrated another fun Halloween at Nathan's daycare parade.  Our little chef was super cute and really rocked the outfit.  He told everyone his cooking specialty was chicken nuggets.  I tried explaining to him that chicken nuggets aren't very impressive, but apparently they are to a 2 year old.    

I love his class photo.  He has been friends with some of these kids since day 1 so its exciting to see how they are growing up. 
 Here is Nathan with his buddy Roland.  What a scary dinosaur!
After every house, Nathan asked if it was time to go home.  He got excited after about 4 houses and really got into saying "trick or treat" and then staring at the candy in his bucket. 
Ryan dressed as a cowboy.  He was channeling his inner Texan since he just met his Great Aunt Donna and Great Uncle Jim a few weeks earlier.

A Typical Weekend

Call 911! Nathan to the rescue!

This post is dedicated to the ladies of BI, especially my mom, Karen, Michelle, and anyone else subjected to the endless stories of my adorable children.

In addition to the 2 hats, notice that he is wearing his soccer shirt from practice last night. I wasn't fighting that battle to get it off of him. Enjoy!

My New Running Partner

The weather is gorgeous so I decided to lace up the running shoes and go for a little jog. I even pulled out his jogging hoodie for him to wear today. As you can see from the second picture, he isn't quite a fan of running just yet.

On a side note, Aunt Jen, Uncle Stephen and Logan came to visit last weekend. I didn't take any pics but you can check out their blog to see all that we did. It was great having them visit.

All in all, we are doing wonderful and are enjoying showing off Ryan to all our friends and family.

Fall has Arrived!

First, I should probably give a quick update on Ryan's health since we had a very minor issue to deal with these past few weeks.  He had been throwing up every so often since he was born and our pediatrician referred him to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.  He was given a full upper GI test today and the results came back all clear!  Yay!  So for now, they are only treating him for acid reflux and we hope that the vomiting gets better over time.

Here is our little man.  We call him Grumpy Grump since he never looks happy.  Its probably because the Steelers have had some bad beats this year so far.
 I adjust the flash settings on my camera too much.  I swear he isn't orange.
This is his official 1 month shot.  How adorable is he??
This weekend we went to Springdale Farms for pumpkin picking.  Pap Pap joined us.  It was a lot of fun even though Nathan refused to admit it by smiling in any of the pictures.
  Apple Cider donuts have become a tradition for us.



Sadly, our water heater broke last night so as I type this at 10:30pm, our neighbor is installing a new one for us.  At least I'll wake up to hot water tomorrow. :)
