We went to a pumpkin stand last night to pick out our pumpkin. All the kids wanted was a small pumpkin---like the ones they are holding. So, we bought 3 small ones and a big one.
I love that Hailey isn't looking at the camera, instead she is staring at the pumpkin in Rachel's hand. Funny.
It is so fun to pass down traditions to my own kids. I know it is just Charlie Brown, but I still remember doing this as a kid. My mom would get us in our pjs, make some brownies or some other treat. My brother and I would curl up on the floor to watch Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.
It just proves that small things make big memories with kids. I hope I am doing the same for my kids.

Aw....my boy is growing!

I can remember when Ryan's teeth came in. I would let him suck on a cold wash cloth. We would give him teething tablets. I would want to cry right along with him because I couldn't take the pain away.

Now, those teeth are falling out. Well, not really falling. I bet he wishes they would just *fall* out instead of having to pull! Two teeth in one weekend.

When I look back over the last six years of having this little man in our lives, I am amazed. He is such a joy and such a handful. He either amazes me or frustrates me...sometimes at the same time! The last six years seem to have gone by so fast or so slow. I can't decide which and I think that is funny.

Somebody once told me that the days drag but the years fly. I really think that is true.

Here is a picture of Ryan on his first day of Kindergarten. As you can see, he was very excited. He loves school. He is trying to adjust to the classroom structure. Say a prayer for his teacher! LOL!
