The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers

Today was the 4th annual Intel Halloween Trick-or-Treat Party. Jacob wasn't feeling quite up to snuff so he spent an evening with Grandma while Ben and I took Jackson to the party.

The party was a bit overwhelming and quite unorganized. They had large tables of candy that the kids were throwing themselves at rather than individual trick-or-treat stops. Consequently, the smaller kids were getting trampled. We had to stand back and let Ben rush in to grab the candy for Jackson otherwise he might have gotten clobbered.

Once Jackson had a full candy basket he was a happy camper and we found a quiet place to take some pictures and let him attack his stash. He was most interested in the suckers but was pretty pleased to have a full basket all to himself.

Included in this post are some pics of the boys just wrestling around (actually - it's Jackson giving his brother hugs but it looks a little violent) and a few pics of Jackson from tonight's Halloween party.

Enjoy.

Growin' Boys

This week has been a good week for the boys - filled with lots of activities and more to come..

On Sunday we had lunch at our house with the Lawsons (Jack and Jake's Godparents) we haven't seen them in a while and it was really nice to have the opportunity to just hang out with them and catch up. Amy (http://www.funkywonder.com/) came over in the afternoon and we had some family pictures done. I've gotten a few teaser shots from her that are adorable and we should have the rest of the photos to share in a week or two.

On Monday Jack and Jake went to playgroup at the Indoor Playground. They had an absolute blast and Ben was pleased to report that both boys took nice long naps in the afternoon.

New Jackson Events: Jackson is starting to string together sentances and how cute - his first intelligible one (Ben caught it) was "thats my baby brother Jacob" of course, it came out more like "hats I other ache-ob" but you get the idea. Jackson is so good to his baby brother and is always giving him kisses and hugs.

New Jacob Events: It's solids time! We've started Jacob out on pears much like we started Jackson. It's a bit slow going with more ending up on his shirt front then in his mouth but it's certainly an adventure. He's also able to roll up onto his side and is activly grabbing objects and manipulating them - lucky for us he's really starting to self entertain. Such a sweet boy!
