Halloween fun at OCP

On Wednesday, Sophia dressed and ready for orange and black day at OCP.

Mrs. Jeanette had a special treat for the kids. Everyone is excited to decorate their Halloween cookies.

Happy Halloween!

It was an exciting week at preschool with all of the Halloween festivities! The children enjoyed orange and black day on Wednesday and I had fun hosting (with the help of Em and Shannon!) the OCP Halloween party on Thursday. It was a busy week...more posts coming soon from our festivities at WFS!

Pumpkins!

Hugs before getting ready for our field trip to the pumpkin patch!

Thanks, Shannon for passing along these cute overalls. A perfect outfit for a day at the patch!

We're here!

My sweet, little pumpkin.


That evening, we headed to DD's for dinner and our annual pumpkin carving! The girls all wore matching Crocs for the occasion!

Carving time!


Our Jack-O-Lanterns!

Last Tuesday we had a fun time at the pumpkin patch with Sophia's class from OCP. The weather was perfect and the kids especially loved the hay ride and playing on the playground. Henry, being just 3 months old, did not enjoy the patch as much as the big kids but he was a pretty good sport. Later that evening, Sophia carved up her perfect pumpkin at DD's!

3 months with Henry




Getting sleepy...


Happy 3 month birthday, baby Henry!

Our little man is growing like a weed. Henry continues to love to eat and snuggle. At three months, Henry is such a happy boy and always greets us with the most precious, gummy smile. He is really "talking" these days and we get a kick out of how expressive he is during our "conversations". Henry is a great sleeper and has been sleeping about 8 hours a night - a true gift to his Mama and Dad. He loves to look at his hands and chew on them. A few times he has found his thumb and he seemed very pleased with that! The jury is still out on what color eyes our boy is going to have. Currently, he is still sporting his baby blues but we wonder if they are going to turn brown like his big sister's. Sophia is still wild about her baby brother and the feelings are mutual! Henry tracks Sophia's every move and smiles so big when she's talking to him or hugging him to pieces. Henry loves it when Sophia loves on him and seeing them together fills my heart with joy. It is still hard to believe sometimes that I am a mom to two children. My life has never felt so full and I know it will just keep getting better!

We always look forward to the Reid's annual cider pressing in October. The weather was perfect, the cider was delicious, and the company was great! Thank you, Jim and Cindy!
