Play Date with Truitt and Parker!

Last weekend we met the Elledges at Discovery Green Park in Downtown Houston. The weather was great and the boys had so much fun! We started out on the big playground where Daniel and Parker played policeman where they took turns taking the bad guy to "jail" (the monkey bars). After the playground Mr. John had them run from one end of the field to the other several times to "race"...READ-wear them out!! There was also a mini-golf course set up that the boys got to play. This was Daniel's first time playing and he had a great time. We still have some practicing to do!! After that we had a nice picnic lunch and then headed home where Daniel took a 3 hour nap!! :) Oh, and Logan and Truitt had a great time too playing on the ground with some leaves and hanging out watching their brothers in their strollers.

Happy Halloween

Daniel had a great time trick or treating this year!! He went around our small neighborhood block once and had so much fun he wanted to keep going, so Scott took him out for more on another neighborhood block. He had to come straight home and check out his loot!! He picked out his costume all by himself this year--I think he chose Darth Vader so he could play with his light saber. I had a Nemo costume for Logan that an OR nurse gave to me as a hand me down, but he really didn't want anything to do with it in the stroller while trick or treating, so we just got a few pictures of him in it and let him stay in his Halloween outfit and Pumpkin hat. When Daniel went out for more trick or treating Logan stayed home with me and helped me hand out candy. He wasn't much help, though-he is a super curious baby and was constantly grabbing the candy and tried putting it in his mouth several times! I cant' wait until next year when they're both running around!!

Ring Bearer

Daniel was a ring bearer in my step sister Tamara's wedding last weekend. I was so nervous about how he would do while walking down the aisle with 100+ people looking at him, but he did great!! He got to share the ring bearer duties with the groom's cousin as well which really helped! Daniel getting down at the reception:

Blog troubleshooting

OK I've gotten several emails and I know people have had problems posting on the blog. I've tried some troubleshooting, so can some of you please post a comment to see if it's working now? Thanks!

Fall fun

This weekend we got our first pumpkin of the season--I'm sure the first of several since we are scheduled to go to a pumpkin patch soon. Daniel had a lot of fun painting it this year. Usually he just watches as Mommy and Daddy carve it, but this year he got to have all the fun!! We were just going to paint a silly face, but by the time we were done every square inch of that pumpkin was painted!

Silly big brother

Poor Logan--now that he is a bit more interactive Daniel is really having fun including him while he "plays". I'm constantly having to watch him to make sure he doesn't get too rough, and when I correct him he says "Don't worry, he likes it!". Here's an example:

Yes...those are stickers all over Logan's face. Haha, Logan really didn't seem to mind, so why not, right?!
