i thought jack was feeling better this morning, but this picture would say otherwise. gracie did a great job, while jack just wanted me to hold him tight. sorry sunshine!

High-larious

G-Mom's birthday was funny.

halloween 08

jack loves all the scary decorations. he enjoyed putting candy in kids bags. lat night the grandparent ratio was 4:1. jack excels in this kind of enviroment.

little helper

i can't believe it. jack's been throwing his diapers in the trash for a few weeks now. but tonight he went to his diaper bag and brought me the pad and wipes. he laid that down and went back to the bag. in his hand was a diaper! when i asked him to lay down, he did! his diaper was actually wet. my little boy is so smart. he amazes me everyday.

more fall fun

jack went for a hike today at the arboretum in ann arbor. it was a lot of fun with cousin gracie, auntie and patrick and i. jack really liked the leaves, dirt and water. gracie and jack played with the milk weed!

Jack Steamboat

Jack's getting ready for Halloween. HE BETTER. Halloween is essentially a high holy holiday around our house, replete with all sorts of ephemera that speaks to the darkness inside the mind. Jack has taken a quick shining to our Jack-o-lanterns, macabre busts with glowing eyes and our moaning mummy. Too bad he seems to hate his costume, I have a feeling he'll have it on for all of 19 seconds.

I'd say he found the perfect pumpkin, but that would suggest we only get one...



Pigs is fun.



So are snapping turtles.



Almost ready for Halloween.



Contemplation with Mom.
