Jeff's Wheels- on his way to work!

 

Reasons Why I Love the Fall

• Weather- it is perfect 60/70 degrees (really- nothing beats it).
• Colors- I love nature's green; but mix in some red, brown, and orange- BEAUTIFUL!
• Warm clothes- Sweaters, scarfs, hats, slippers... fall accessories are so fun.
• Warm drinks- Apple Cider....smells so yummy and taste so good.
• School year begins- it's the time of year to learn new things.
• Thanksgiving (Canadian and American)- so much to be thankful for and you can't beat the food.

Mr. Independent

Our little man is becoming Mr. Independent. He just recently discovered that holding the bottle himself is way better then having someone hold it for you.

He also loves swinging by himself at the park!

As well as reaching and "talking" on my phone. Love this picture because it shows off his great stocking hat hair! Comb anyone?

And making many funny....

and sweet baby boy faces.

Like many moms, my camera is flooded with pictures of my baby, but if you were to scroll through my recent pictures you will find a little diversity. Here are some of my most recent "study A&P" pictures from school- the lung and a histology slide of Alveoli. The more I learn the more I realize that the human body is amazing!

Nursing school is keeping us all extra busy around here, but I have high hopes to catch up on blogging during the upcoming holiday breaks.

8 Months Old

Wow, another month has flown by and our little man is now 8 months old. New things with Anders: clapping hands, standing with help and enjoying a great new view, eating (3 times a day), being outside, dogs (loves Chaco- Uncle Erik and Aunt Yurikos' black lab), pulling all toys out of his toy basket, and sticking out his tongue. He also has 5 teeth with the 6th on the way- it really makes him look like a little boy. My baby is growing up!!!!

Here are some favorite pictures from this past month.

Love this Harley outfit from the Files family.

Grandma Judge brought Anders a warm winter coat when we were in Ohio.

Mickey Mouse time at our Fall Festival!

Playing Outside.

Parker Elijah Linley

My nephew, Parker, was born this past Saturday- October 17th! We all had a chance to meet him over the weekend and got the chance to congratulate Preston and April.

Happy New Parents.

Proud Grandma Lana.

All the guys hanging out.

Parker's first car ride home.

The Family.

This little guy is so adorable- welcome to this great big world Parker, we love you!

Can I Have a Napkin Please

Dinner tonight was peas. Peas have not been a favorite this past month, however by adding a secret ingredient, fruit (thanks for the advise Jana), Anders loved them! Tonight was an especially fun dinner because on top of eating a healthy green veggie, making me a happy mommy, Anders got to try and feed himself, making him a happy baby. This new found independence did mean peas everywhere- on Anders, on me, in our hair, on the wall, on the floor...but overall what fun!

Happy Birthday Elwood

Today is my father-in-law's birthday! We are so happy that we can help him celebrate here in Texas (August marked their one year anniversary as Texans). I love this picture of him.
