I'm Still Here...

I can't believe that it's nearly the end of October! The weeks are absolutely FLYING by! There are two big occurences this week (besides Halloween and the Florida-Georgia game, of course)! Dylan will be 12 on Wed. (the 28th) and Brady will be 10 mos. on Sat. (the 31st). Yep, my little goblin is almost a YEAR old...and my big goblin will be a teenager before I know it! SCARY!


We've been really busy the past few weeks...hence, the lapse in blogging. Some updates since my last blog:
1) Brady went for his 9-mo. checkup and weighed in at 18lbs/14oz (ugh, no wonder my back is killing me)!
2) He is now crawling all over like a mad-man, desperately trying to walk (takes 1-2 steps unassisted before nose-diving), and FINALLY has a tooth! From what I hear, the later the teeth come in, the stronger they are...so Brady's teeth should be indestructible! :-)
3) Dylan is doing great in school (A/B Honor Roll) and started flag football last week. He's also really looking forward to Halloween and his b-day party (we're going to do the ghost tour in St. Augustine)!


Here are some pictures from the past few weeks:

Picking out a pumpkin...

The perfect one...

"Mom, I want THIS one!"...

Cooling Off...

There has been a TOUCH of fall in the air lately and the weather has been gorgeous! Although the afternoons are still pretty warm (80's), the evenings are definitely cooler and there were a few days last week when we actually caught a break from the stifling humidity. We've spent quite a bit of time outside lately enjoying the cooler weather.

Brady loves rubbing his feet in the grass...


And picking at it...


We've also enjoyed watching this little creature, who stops by several times a day for the lettuce and carrots we leave out...



We've named her Betsy, even though we have no idea if "she" is even female! :-)
