Tricks or Treats

Rachael thought holding a bag out & getting candy was a good deal.

Scioto Audubon Park

Beautiful fall morning on October 31, 2008.

Slaane

He does sleep, just not at night.
He got me up at 3:00 this morning.

New Stadium

Our new downtown stadium for the Clippers under construction.

Rachael was a pumpkin fairy at this year's Toddler Halloween Ball at the main library downtown. Rachael really did have a good time, but at the end she lost sight of mom and dad for a moment and became a little uncomfortable.
She can scream "daddy" louder than any other kid there.

Finished

Teresa & Slane are calling it a day too.

Done for the day

Just sitting around watching a movie.

He sleeps!

He loves this swing so much I'm going to hard wire it to the house.
Thanks Aunt Nancy!

Mask

Rach & Grandma Fauvie make a mask out of play-doh. The play-doh was a gift to Rach from Teresa's friends.

PJs

As an adult he will probably be known as The Mighty Slane Morbitzer. That's when I'll show him this!

Dawn & Rachael

Teresa, Grandma, Rachael & Slane spent some time at the park Monday.

Sleeping

He does actually sleep. Just not at night!

New Stroller

We needed a new stroller for 2 kids. Teresa researched it for months and it finally came Friday.
This took a while to put together, but WOW! This must be what strollers in paradise are like.

Morning

Another great fall morning at Scioto Audubon Park.

New Stroller

I know the directions are here somewhere!

A beautiful morning in Ohio.

First Haircut

Teresa & Rach wanted to look their best for the big weekend so Tina Kinnen at Max The Salon in German Village cut Rachael's hair (just the bangs) after Teresa was done.

At the pumpkin patch.

Saturday afternoon we hit the pumpkin patch at Peter's Farm Market.
