Family Fest Last Night

We had a lot of fun at Family Fest last night. We had Timmy dressed up in a pumpkin costume with his halloween bib that his cousin Brittany got for him. Timmy had lots of fun. He was checking everything out so there aren't many pictures of him smiling. A lot of the pics we got of him were where he was looking away because there was so much going on that he was looking at it all.

Timmy with his Maw Maw and his cousin Tristan, who is smiling big because he is such a ham for the camera, and Aunt Regina.

Timmy and Tristan are checking one another out in this one.

Daddy and Timmy. My two handsome men!

Timmy and Me. Awwwwwwww:-)!

This was taken on October 28th

Here is how we found Timmy this morning. He's facing the opposite way. His stuffed animals are at the end of the crib. He woke up facing them and still covered up. We're not sure how he managed that but he did it.

Fall

I love the Fall. The leaves on the trees turn different colors and it's so beautiful. Today has been overcast but otherwise a beautiful fall day. The temp was suppose to get up to 60 today but I don't think it reached it. It is currently 49 out and the temp is steadily dropping. As I'm writing this I'm hearing ice rain hitting the window. The pictures below show some of the colors we are seeing right now but the pictures don't do the trees justice. They are actually more colorful than you are seeing. These pictures are from our backyard and sideyard.

The leaves in the trees here are actually yellow, red, and green.

Here the leaves are yellow, red, green, and a deep purple.

I'm sure that I will be able to get a better fall picture later.

Praise Report

Recently my sister, Regina, was in an accident with our Ford Explorer. She and the other person involved were not hurt. Our vehicle had more damage to it than the vehicle is worth so the insurance company totaled it. The insurance company told us that we'd probably get such and such amount for it in the settlement. To our surprise the insurance company sent us a check for the total blue book value of the vehicle. If we had tried to sell it ourselves we couldn't have gotten that much cash for it. God is such an awesome provider. Because of the pay off on the vehicle we were able to pay off our hospital bills from when Timmy was born and put what was left over toward paying off other debt. Even though we were out a vehicle God turned it around for our good. Praise God!

Peas

Today we tried peas on Timmy for lunch. Here's his reactions. You'll love these pics.

"Oh Dude this aint bananas!"

"You can have it back."

"I'm really not enjoying this."

"Enough already."

Daddy and his pics

Daddy just had to get pics of Timmy's messy face when I was feeding him several nights ago so I thought I'd share them with you. Enjoy!

At Church Tonight

After church tonight Cousin Tristan (Regina's son) decided he wanted to help me with Timmy. Tristan had so much fun pushing the stroller with me. He is such a big boy now. Timmy enjoyed strolling around at church. These two boys are going to have so much fun together when Timmy gets older and can keep up with Tristan. Thanks Aunt Gina for taking and emailing me the picture of these handsome young men.

N.C. State Fair

It's Fair time. Scot and I wanted to take Timmy to the Fair and possibly take him on the carousel but when we watched it going around we decided it was too fast for him this year. He'll enjoy it more next year.

Timmy still had a good time looking at everything though. We took him through a childrens barn that had goats, chickens, roosters and other things. When he heard the rooster crow his eyes got real big. I wish that I had the camera out and got a picture of it. He's going to be hearing the rooster sound a lot. Our neighbor has a rooster that crows all the time.

We decided to take a picture of Timmy and me in front of the carousel. He's looking down in the picture because it was so bright out.

Can I get them both in there?

In the pictures below you will see that Timmy is on his Daddy's lap trying hard to get both his hands in his mouth. It's so much fun to watch him try.

Back to Belly to Back again

Two nights ago as we were getting Timmy ready for his bath he rolled from his back to his belly then to his back again. I couldn't snap the pictures quick enough to get one of him on his belly but he rolled. In the pictures below you will see that he rolled right into his Daddy's lap. It was too cute. Afterward Charlie was sniffing his head. We included a picture of that also.

Yes, that blue line in his diaper that you are seeing means he wet his diaper. It's so cool how easy they make it for you to check a diaper now days. We used to have to just stick our finger in the diaper to check but not anymore. Thank God!

Isn't that patch of hair near his neck line so cute?!

Awww, Daddy and Timmy looking at one another after he rolled into Daddy's arms and Charlie in the background checking everything out.
