Happy Halloween...

From the cutest pumpkin there is!

Pumpkin Time

It is a beautiful day here in Kansas and we made use of the gorgeous weather. We attended a pumpkin patch festival to benefit an urban school here in the city, DeLaSalle. Max got to pick a pumpkin, see our friend Eric Carver do some awesome face painting, look at baby cows, and listen to some awesome music by Mr. Stinky Feet himself, Jim Cosgrove. All and all, it was a pretty fun afternoon!

On the Move

Maddox has decided to start exploring his world a little more fully. He is officially crawling all over the place and is pulling himself up to stand too! Lane and I are running around like mad trying to really baby proof the house. I haven't really gotten any good crawling pictures but here are some cute pictures of Max standing at our window after school today.

Max is great!

Here are some photos to remind us that Max is a happy child loved by many! We're blessed to get to see the many moods of Max:


Contemplative Max





Confused Max





Monkey Max (trying to climb the ottoman)





Mischievous Max (Untying Dad's Shoes)

I'm a bad blogger...

But here are some pictures to make up for my laziness the last few weeks! To update: Maddox is trying to crawl, but hasn't been too successful. He is very good at sitting himself up though. He has gotten two teeth on the bottom. That was a fun experience for everybody:) He is growing like a weed and loving life with Mom and Dad!
