Boys in Blackhawks

It took a lot of pictures to get this one that is still only semi-focused. 

Procuring Pumpkins

The annual trip to Sonny Acres was this morning. This is our fifth year going with kids and it took us that long to figure out that they rent wagons for the highway-robbery price of a dollar. We don't have to juggle two kids, two pumpkins, and our sanity. 

The best part, though, was that we finally, finally got LD to agree to ride on a ride. The spinning apples (think Tilt A Whirl) won him over and he agreed without too much begging or reassuring from us. I was worried that once he was on, he would get nervous (past experience), but he loved it and even used the green wheel to spin the apple faster. Win! 

D and I are pretty sure we will never have to talk Gav into these rides.

An observation

This is the line of thought that came to LD's mind on the way home the other day.

"Look Daddy, a car transporter truck.  It's a truck pulling another truck.  It's a TRUCK TRUCK!"

An Outtake

I watched some of the videos I took of Gav yesterday and this one made me laugh because of his little commentary on his progress:

Walking the Line

So Gav can just walk now. Yesterday he crawled, today he just walks.

I love this one because you can hear him say "Tigey" when he gets to Liam's favorite toy.

I don't love that you can hear my stupid voice, but I do love his face!
