october fun!

oh dear.  i started this post and called it "october fun", because it was october... and fun... and now we're already half way through november!  time is flying.  whoa.  so that i can keep my head straight on what happened when, i'm going to keep this as an october post -- and will post november fun soon after!  

the boys are all doing well -- roman loves school, i think all aspects, thankfully; josiah is fully riding the potty train, as he calls it (oh yeah! doing a dance of joy on this one!); and benjamin is moving SO much these days, that he out-eats his brothers, hands down.  (i do think he's burning more calories every day than any of us, just because he's eager to be moving and happy about it!)  really can't complain about anything!  :-)  here are some highlights from our month...

roman and jake working on biking without training wheels...
coming right along!!  :)
benjamin admiring his breakfast smoothie - this is not a daily thing,
but i'm glad that it's an option if we want it!  
haircut time!  we don't usually buzz roman, but his locks
were LONG and needed some help!
we carved our happy pumpkins WAY too early this year --
unfortunately, they had saggy smiles about a week before
trick-or-treat night, so they went in the trash early. but
we did enjoy them when we had them! 
jake and the boys, ready to go out and do some
trick-or-treating!! 
our explorer...
our pirate...
...and our happy frog.
(this is the 3rd frog that we've had -- thinking it could be the last!)

we handed out candy at our house for about 20 minutes, and then decided
to go out and knock on some doors.  just as we were leaving, about
15 people came walking up the street toward our house!
(josiah was noticing the crowd while i was trying to take this picture!)
On October 25th, we got to go to Wayland to meet our newest niece, Daphne!  She is a sweet little thing!  :-)  While there, we spent some time playing and just hanging around!!  

Baby is still growing well.  Was supposed to find out gender at our 23-week ultrasound (Oct 10) but baby decided to be very chill and not move a lot. All other measurements were great, but the ultrasound tech wanted a better read on baby's spine, so another ultrasound will take place Nov 6... until next time! ...
