Halloween Fun

We celebrated Halloween this year with a very special treat, Max our cute little lion! Although he was a little too young for trick or treating we made sure he was able to still participate in a few fun Halloween activities. As you can tell he had a good time in his costume.

We also carved pumpkins and Max sat in on all the fun. Max is enjoying his "Bumbo Chair"and loves being upright.

Daddy thought it would be cute to see if Max fit into his pumpkin, no luck. And you can tell Max wasn't so thrilled with the idea. Thanks to Aunt Dee Dee & Uncle Bob for Max's cute shirt, it fit perfectly!

Here are the Master Pieces all lit up for display

Halloween can be so exhausting!

We also enjoyed an evening out. As always we dress up for Halloween and this year the theme was the Flintstones. We, along with Kyle met up with some friends and had some Halloween fun.

We look forward to next year when Max can go trick or treating, that will definitely be a treat for us!

Time...where does it go??

This is the question we keep asking ourselves week after week, especially since Max has been born! Its as if we just can't get enough of it!!

October was definitly a busy month for us. Travis wrapped his fall sports fundraising and has been prepping for winter sports. He is doing well and is enjoying being his own boss. Kelly, well where do we start? She is loving spending her days at home and being a mom. She has been also gotten back into her photography and has really been working hard on her business. She photographed almost every weekend in October and enjoyed every moment of it. She also got a new computer, FINALLY no "hand-me-downs" and it is making life so much easier for her! We would love to invite you to view her blog: http://www.photographybykellyjean.blogspot.com/ You can see for yourself what she has been up to. Also while you are there, you can view Max's 3 month images. Here is a sneak peek of few...

Here is 3rd image of the 12 month series that Kelly is doing for Max. It has been fun looking back at the last two months and seeing all of Max's changes. He is definitly a lot bigger and full of so many expressions.

We were also able to do a little traveling and made a road trip to Antigo to visit Travis's god-parents Eddy and Nana. It was wonderful to introduce Max to them for the first time. Here are a few images from the day.

Kelly was also able to sneak away for a day for a trip to Chicago with her mom, Aunt and cousin. It was dad's official first full day and night with the little guy without mom. I think it was tougher for mom than dad and Max! It was a great trip despite those crazy Chicago drivers!

We also celebrated Jersey's 5th Birthday in the beginning of October. Here is our Birthday Princess enjoying her frosty paw birthday treat!

We will be posting images from Halloween in our next post, so be sure to check back.
