Leaves are falling everywhere

Our trees’ leaves are all gone now, but we made sure to put Hayden to work for us:

While better than last year’s leaf pictures, these were the only two pictures we caught while Hayden was not upset. He did enjoy “helping,” though.

First Trick or Treatin’!

Tonight will be Hayden’s first year of trick or treating! We’re having a trunk or treat at church, so I’m not sure we’ll go door-to-door after that, but it’s good enough for me!

Here are our family photos from a party last week. This year, we were a family from the 1920s.

Handsome devil, iddn’t he?

If you want to be specific, we’re from 1926. I’m a bit particular about these things. If you can spot any anachronisms (other than the setting, of course, LOL), go for it!

Last year for Halloween, we were the unambiguously Scottish trio.

My list of pregnancy and maternity costumes is a pretty useful resource (if I do say so myself) if you’re still looking for one!

Like father, like . . .

Over the last few weeks, a lot of people have commented on how much Hayden looks like his daddy—people that we see on a weekly basis who say that he looks more and more like Ryan all the time.

Maybe I’m just too used to the both of them, but I don’t really see it.

What do you think?

Hayden and his best friend

Hayden’s best friend lives with us. Whenever he sees her, he stops whatever he’s doing to hug her and play with her. If she’s laying around, he’ll throw himself on the floor just to talk to her.

Puddles!

Hayden and his friend Ethan found a puddle at the park. After plenty of stomping and splashing, they found another way to play in the water:
