Matching PJ's

Carter came over tonight so his mom and dad could go out on a date. Liam loves to play with him because he shares so nice! We had a little snack and Liam ate his really fast, so Carter shared his. He even gave him one of his blankies.

I had to laugh when I put on Carter's PJ's because Liam has the same ones. So I made sure they matched. Too bad Tim doesn't have a pair.

At this point both boys were like - please stop with the flash - Carter put his hands up and Liam wouldn't open his eyes all the way. So we stopped taking pictures.

It was a fun night, they played so well together and they were both in bed by 8:30 without a fuss. Now, I just have to get Tim to go to bed...

Prayers For Finian

Please Pray! Long story short - Friends of ours had a preemie boy at 30 weeks after 5 weeks on bed rest - sound familiar? Well, he was expected to go home 2 weeks ago, but a "spot" was found on an MRI scan and after much debate, he needs to have the "spot" removed. Liam's little partner in crime is having brain surgery today at 10:30. So I am asking everyone to pray for him - for complete healing and also for his parents to have the peace and comfort only God can give. Thank you to all the loyal blog readers!

A Bears Fan!

I went to Chicago a couple of weekends ago and this is what I bought for Liam - a Chicago Bears outfit. Isn't it just the cutest? Now this is the only outfit that Tim wants him to wear, except when he goes outside to play, it's too nice for that (even though that is what I bought it for - a play outfit that dad could easily put together, you know, the Bears hoodie with the Bears sweatpants). Speaking of going outside, Liam loved the weather this weekend and spent a lot of time outside. He even ate his first worm, or at least half of one. Boys! Can you guess who was watching him? :o)
This is one of our latest tricks, climbing the stairs. He is so proud of himself. We have not put up the gate yet, he doesn't go very far when I'm not looking and he is very careful about it. But, the gate will have to come out soon, hopefully before we have a tumble. My mom said I tumbled at least 3 times and I turned out just fine, right? Or was that my brother... Hmmm... better get that gate out.

And i just could not resist posting another picture of my Jolly Green Giant. This is trick-or-treating in action. We have lot's of layers under that costume and we still ended up puting another hat and coat on. I'm so glad the weather has warmed up for a while. Did we skip winter? I hope so.

Halloween '09

Just a few pictures we took this weekend celebrating fall and Halloween.

It was so nice out on Sunday, we even got to play outside.

Liam loves to watch Uno (our dog) run around. He doesn't even mind a few kisses.

We carved pumpkins too. Liam was way more interested in eating the pumpkin.

The final product! If you can't tell, it is two ghosts with the moon behind them.

And finally, here is the Jolly Green Giant! He had a fun filled Halloween and got lots of candy that mom and dad get to help him eat!
