Halloween

I love this boy....and he loves his Gabba.

We celebrated Halloween with family and friends. 

First stop, a visit with the cousins

Next, off to best buddy Roba's house for trick or treat fun.

I am going to tell you how I thought it would go,

short visit and we pass out some candy, at the house....

NOT!

Cold, wet, and rainy and yet T was all about the trick or treating...

We went door to door, and it did not take long for T to 'get it'

hmmmm.... take candy say thank you... he loved to carry his bootie

Thankfully, collecting the candy was a bigger thrill than eating it.

BUT tonight he went to bed chanting

trick or treat, trick or treat, trick or treat....

A boy and his dog.

The Wedding Weekend

Aunt Katie and Uncle Peter got married this weekend

We had a most excellent time.

There is nothing like the stress of inclement weather

The wedding was outside at French Park

A GORGEOUS venue... 

The rain stopped about 2 hours before the ceremony,

it was slightly wet, really chilly but beautiful all the same.

Thankfully, tents and heaters were involved for the reception!

Theo exercises a little freedom before the festivities.

If only I could get him to smile on command.

All the cousins were in full wedding gear.

The bridal party consisted of 4 adults and 6 children

T was not 'officially' part of the wedding party

but he went down the aisle with Grammy and Uncle Pete

Unfortunately, I missed what proved to be quite an adorable scene

T waved to everyone in the audience, all the way down the aisle.

I was rewarded later when I headed down the aisle...

instrumental music and T chanting "mama, mama, mama"...

Peek a boo

This is my all time favorite picture

Everyone needed a little Gabba break.

I Love Fall

Boys, Danger, & the Hospital

Look closely at this darling picture of my son.

Beautiful flowers... yet my child is smelling a rock.

...Boys...

A few weeks back I invested in an energy buster

It was a marvelous investment

T loves it and he is a gifted jumper.

...Danger...

I often think I am a heartbeat away from the ER

A few days after my trampoline purchase

my dad, and T's adoring grandfather

dropped off an article he read in the newspaper:

"Doctors say, trampolines too dangerous"

The article was followed up by several phone calls

suggesting perhaps I return the energy-buster.

We kept the trampoline, T is perfecting his bounce

These days he bounces everywhere... in fact he

bounces & jumps constantly and not only on the trampoline.

...the Hospital...

Last week T had a follow up appointment
at Children's Hospital, his appointment was at 9:30am

At 8 am T bounced right off my bed...

there were tears and blood,
then I noticed the blood was inside and outside of his mouth
O M G ... his tooth went through his face
G R O S S!
I had a mini panic attack.
But by the time we arrived to our appointment,
everyone had recovered, and I even had time for a coffee.

3 days later you would never noticed a flaw.
