Falling for Halloween Time

Fall and Halloween have been so much fun this year. Between pumpkin patch trips and trick or treating, the kids were kept busy for weeks!

Cannon's preschool had a field trip to Old McDonald's Farm. And Chance's kindergarten class had a field trip to Ridgefield Farm. Mommy went on Cannon's field trip and Daddy went on Chance's! Both trips included corn mazes, lessons on pumpkins, petting zoos, play time, a hay ride, and of course, picking out a pumpkin.

Now Trick or Treating was a TOTAL blast! In my day, there was one day a year to trick or treat. Now it seems like everyone has their own plan. There's trick or treating at the mall, at the outlets, at the senior center, in the neighborhood the weekend before, on the day of Halloween.... it never ended! We decided to do trick or treating at Somerford Assisted Living the week before and then in our neighborhood on the Saturday before Halloween. It was so much fun! Chance and Cannon walked up to the doors and were so polite. Colin went along for the ride! And Cannon's preschool had a costume parade. Here he is with his best bud Dominic and his little girlfriend Annabella.

Colin's First Year in Review - video

Here is a video montage I put together of Colin's entire first year. He's 17 months old already and I can hardly believe it. My baby is not a baby anymore. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every moment!

Our Future Worship Leader!

Cannon has definitely inherited his Mommy's musical nature. He loves to play any instrument he can get his hands on, and he REALLY loves to sing. Since all I ever have on the radio is Christian music, he's learning the songs and singing along. Nothing like hearing your three year old singing his little heart out about Jesus. Anyways - recently I was asked to learn a song called Ocean's Will Part to sing as an offering for church and to sing with the band I sing with. So I played it a lot to practice and Cannon came to affectionately call it "Mommy's song". Today I put my CD on and went into my room to do some work while he played with his matchbox cars in the living room. Next thing I know I hear the joyful sounds of him singing along to the song. I knew he knew some of the words, but this time he knew them all! And not only that but he was lifting his hand in praise. It was so cute I had to capture it on video. Take a look!

Colin's Sucker!

My little man is just that, a little man. Hard to believe he's going on 17 months already. I remember bringing him home like it was yesterday. It's simply sad how fast the time goes by when they are this little. I just ADORE all three of my boys, but since Colin is my last baby, I can't help but think he's just the cutest EVER! I love this little clip of him slurping on his lollipop and wandering around the house. He makes even walking look cute!

Chance's Communication Practice

Typically each night, or at least several times a week, we sit down with Chance and work on his communication. We just recently updated his communication board, so we spent some time helping him get familiar with where everything was on the board. Clearly you can see in these two videos that Chance knows his stuff! He loves to work for lotion! Crazy what motivates our angels!

Jumpin Jeepers!!!

Cannon and Dominic are the best of buds and they sure did have a great time driving the jeeps around yesterday. I don't know, perhaps we should drop the legal driving age to 3?!!
