Snow day

Rain last night and now a big snowstorm! What a week!

11/8

All of those beautiful leaves are already falling off of our tree!

Grandma Carrie and Grandpa Dennis came over today.  Carrie and Jane wore these matching aprons, aren't they cute?

Like father like son

Both of my boys are snoring =)

Voting day (8 weeks old today)

Waiting in line to vote for 45 minutes with two kids by myself was extremely aggravating, but I did it.

It helps that when I got home Colin's cute feet were sticking out of his car seat like this:

Also, the tree in our front yard is a gorgeous shade of yellow today:

I sent these photos to Daddy while he was at work today.  I may have been trying to make him miss us a little more than usual. =)  Do you think it worked?

Jane is saying "Arrrr!" in this picture.  Can you tell?

Handsome!

Happy Halloween!

There's a big Halloween post on the family blog, but here are a few extra pictures. =)

Cuddly, cuddly.

Monsters, rawr!

I bought these monster onesies back when Jane was a baby.  They were just tooooo cute!  I love putting them on Colin!!

And, of course, I had to capture these cute snuggles with Daddy:

Snuggles with Daddy

Daddy has "magic arms" that help Colin to fall asleep every night.  They are both snugglers, I think.

Smiles

Colin is really smiling back at us when we smile at him now, and it is so fun to interact with him this way.  I took a video today of his big open-mouthed smiles at me as I was talking to him.

Sleepy boy =)

First Snow

We had our first snow of the season today.  It didn't last very long on the ground, but it was long enough for Jane to try out her new snow boots which she loves and wanted to wear to bed.

Colin, of course, stayed snuggly inside.  My kind of guy. =)

Okay, he occasionally cries

Mostly he doesn't.  But here's proof that it happens on occasion!

Six weeks old today!

Do you like your burrito wrapped:

Or unwrapped?

I was cleaning the house today and I guess Jane was "helping."  I went to check on Colin and found her shoes dumped on top of him in the bassinet:

Last day of maternity leave

Today it's getting colder, the leaves are falling off the trees in earnest, and I have to go back to work tomorrow.  =(

Cute kids

Colin WAS sleeping peacefully on Daddy right before I took this picture. Silly baby.

Also, behold Jane's cuteness.  She picked out the hat and glasses to wear, I think the girl's got style.  Just one picture didn't do her justice:

Easygoing guy

Daddy and I have been at a conference in Salt Lake for hours and Colin hasn't cried once!  What a good boy he is!  It's hard to believe any baby could ever be easier than Jane but Colin sure is giving her a run for the money!

Smiles

Colin really does smile all the time, and he recently smiled back at me when I smiled at him.

Here's a little video of him just sleeping and smiling a tiny bit.  Probably boring, but I eat this stuff up.

More snuggles =)

I think Colin looks a little like a prison escapee in his Halloween jammie, hehe.

10/17

Colin is starting to get a bit big for his newborn clothes.  But the 0-3 month clothes still seem to drown him a bit!  But I can tell now that he is bigger than when he was born.  He just seems to get cuter, though.  I love him!

10/16

I was standing in my bedroom when Jane came in behind me and peeked in at Colin in the bassinet.  She said, "Awwwww, cyuuuuuuute.  I love Colin."  It is hilarious and adorable and she says it all the time, but I can never manage to catch it.  Anyway, I got the camera out and asked her to repeat what she said.  It didn't quite work, though.




This morning Jane had a playdate with Evelyn at Auntie Lauren's house.  She sure had fun!  I did, too!

One quick photo before bedtime:

Snuggle time

Today Jane got to hold Colin on our bed.  They had a good snuggle time.  Jane continues to be so sweet and careful with Colin, she is a great big sister.  Colin seems to like her a lot. =)

I took a video of them together:

And of course I took some photos:

My friend Danette came over to keep me company tonight, and while I was distracted Jane drew on the kitty!  Silly Jane.  Good thing those were the washable markers!

Grandma, too!

Colin got a visit from his Grandma today, too!
