Baby Alex Update

It's hard to believe Baby Alex is already one month old! We are just loving having this precious little guy in our family. Not to jinx ourselves, but he's a pretty good sleeper too! He usually gets up at 3:30 or 4:00 am to eat, but that's about it . . . and a few nights ago he actually slept for 8 1/2 hours! I woke up a little worried about him, but--ahhh--it sure was nice to get that much sleep at once.

Here are our 3 little dudes hanging out in their jammies . . .

. . . and Alex with his Pops (my dad, Richard), who visited last weekend. We had a great time with him here. He got to participate in Alex's baby blessing at church, which was really special. We love having visitors come!

What a cutie! (I think even those who aren't his mom would have to agree.)

Happy Halloween!

We hope you had a fun Halloween! Abby loved trick-or-treating in our neighborhood and made quite a haul in the candy department. Katie, however, was ready after about five houses to head home and start eating the loot. (That was fine by me, since I was one-week postpartum and a little tired myself!)
Here we have the ladybug and the ballerina admiring the teeny-tiny pea pod.

All of us ready for trick-or-treating . . . even though Katie looks more ready for bed!

"Grannie" (my mom, Lori) was here over Halloween as part of her life-saving 10-day visit! She and Baby Alex were in charge of handing out candy.
