Family Fall Photos!

We met Kadie, Hahn and Henry, and Kim, Todd, Hannah, and Aaron (and baby on the way!) at Viestenz-Smith Mountain Park in Loveland to take family photos of each other. Jack was pretty edgey that day as he hadn't taken a nap, only napped on the way there, and then woke up unhappy after only 30 minutes of driving. Luckily, he pulled through with the silly antics of his Auntie Kadie.

I wish we'd been able to pry the blankie away from Jack but at that point,
he wasn't going to last!

The Tovens

Guess who's still up at 10pm...

This guy.


1. The cute thing is, he started calling me "Sam" tonight, when "Mom" just didn't seem to do.

2. The sad thing is, he hasn't been sleeping because his thumb-sucking thumb has a sore.

3. Flattering but tiring, Mom is the only one in the world right now that can cut it. That means the last two nights mom has been up probably 10 times either rocking him to sleep or rubbing his restless back. (Not sure why she's smiling in this photo)

Pumpkin Patch 2010!

We took Jack to a Pumpkin Patch this year! We went to Bartels Farm just on the North side of Fort Collins. It was a great farm--they had some animals that Jack loved including an Emu! They had tons of pumpkins and we even found some gourds! The weather couldn't have been better.

Another Photoshoot!

Jack and Henry were in another photoshoot together at my work. They did a great job and after about 25 minutes, they were done. It's so fun getting to see them in a new situation like this. Boy, does Jack need a haircut. I need to bite the bullet and go get it cut!
