PUMPKINS, PUMPKINS EVERYWHERE

Today we went to a local Apple Orchard to find a nice pumpkin and of course do a photoshoot with Brent's Cousins.

As you can see we had a great time. Dylan was absolutely fascinated with the pumpkins.

The rest of the children did a wonderful job posing for my camera.

I still need to bring it to the shop, but just can't get myself to be camera less for an extended period of time.

Here are a few of my favorites from today.

And last, but not least a group shot.

Which by the way is pretty tough with 6 silly cousins.

APPLE PIE

Today Brent made his very first apple pie with the help of his Aunt Phyllis.

She used to make the Pies for my in-laws Apple Stand and I must say they are the best around.

Here are some pictures of his first baking experience.

Of course Dylan had to "help" some too.

Oh and in case you're wondering why there is no picture of the finished pie?

It was yummy, not time to take pictures.

NOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS ONE!

DAYCARE

So far Dylan seems to be enjoying himself at daycare.

I was really nervous as some of you know, especially once the owner told me that he would be sleeping on a cot.

Yeah right I thought. Well, guess what...he DOES sleep on his cot.
Some days longer then others, but he DOES.
Can you tell I'm excited.


Also, now that he only gets one nap at daycare 3 days a week he has made the transition at home to. He usually sleeps from 12:30-2:30 when he's with me.


I'm hoping that he will keep that schedule going as it seems to work out pretty well for us.

WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN

Brent has his first day at Kindergarten today.

He was so excited to get on the bus this morning.

After getting him on the us I had to sit in the car for a little while and relax.

I can't even believe my "baby" is old enough for Kindergarten.

I followed him to school so I could get a few pictures with him coming off the bus.

When the bus got there he was already heavy in conversation with some of his Kindergarten Friends :)

I think he'll do well.

MEET THE TEACHER

Well, Brent and I got to meet his Kindergarten Teacher today.

I have to say I was very nervous when I heard that both Kindergarten Teachers were going to retire after last year, but after meeting Mrs. Sontag all my worries went away.

She is so very nice to the kids and very reassuring to us "looney" Kindergarten Parents.

She spent a lot of time answering all of our questions and adressed all of our concerns.

I think Brent will have a really good time in her class.

CAN YOU SAY...

Mom?

Dad?

Nana?

Gampa?

Bubblegum?

I did it?

Bye Bob?

Yes those are a few of Dylan's favorite things to say.
