Jack 'O Lantern

Eric and Maddie carved their first Jack 'O Lantern tonight. It was a fun experience for both of them - and the Jack 'O Lantern looks great too!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Today we took Maddie to the pumpkin patch. We've taken her every year so far and I'm quite fond of the tradition. We didn't make it to the same farm we've historically gone to, but Maddie still had a great time. This afternoon Eric and Maddie will carve the pumpkin for the first time. It should be exciting!

Owls

Here is a shot of Maddie's room with some new wall decals that she and I put up today. I think they look great and can't wait to get the rest of her room decorated.

Daddy's little helper

Eric has been working on some home improvement projects and Maddie is always eager to help. Today we bought her her own tool belt and she was very excited. She even wore it on our trip to Home Depot today. I think she's realized that her tools are all toys - she kept telling Eric they didn't work!

Cuddling with the baby

Maddie has really gotten in to the baby lately. She's really in to giving him kisses and cuddles and has started asking if she can feel him kick. Today she got to feel him move for the first time. It's very cute and sweet. I'm glad she's excited about being a big sister!
