Halloween Costumes

 Charlie had two costume choices and did not prefer the dinosaur, but we got a picture.

 Here he and Lucy are, in his fireman costume. (Yes, he wore it last year too.)

 Here's Jamie as Winnie the Pooh. He doesn't like to wear the hood.

He prefers a hat.

Winnie the Pooh builds roads!

Here are the boys...

 but we had no luck getting all three!

And here's Lucy, dressed as a baby fashion model in her jeggings and "boots"

Sibling Love

 A few days ago, Jamie really started to enjoy kissing his sister.

 Even her toes!

 Charlie, of course, is still her biggest fan. He also has his "sister puppy" here.

 And here are the boys at the bar, enjoying a snack.

Grandma Patti Visits

 Here are a couple of pictures of Grandma and the kids

They liked reading with her.

Lucy loves to be cuddled.

 It makes her sleepy.

And of course, there's her beloved oldest brother, giving her kisses.

Pumpkin Carving

Grandma (and Mom, sort of) helped the boys carve pumpkins!

 Jamie was a little skeptical, which is funny because he's usually the messy one.

Where is Lucy, you wonder? She was outside for a while but did not care for it so we hung out where it wasn't so bright and windy.

What's Lucy Up To?

 Her primary activity has certainly been sleeping. She's a great napper, and so sweet.

She also had a bath at home. She was only mildly upset and then seemed to even enjoy it.

 There's no reason these next two should be sideways except orneriness. Lucy styled her new cocoon, which will keep her warm if it ever gets cold.

And here she sleeps in her blankie, or out of her blankie, after getting her clothes messy and falling asleep before we could get new ones on.

And let's not forget some stretch and grow time.

With her adoring audience.

Charlie & Lucy - again

 Charlie wants to hold his sister whenever he can. These are two separate times today.

 I like that she looks adoringly (or so I interpret) at him while he cuddles her and plays with his cars.

This is classic. Owen really took the best picture :) Lucy is sneezing here, not crying, by the way.

Jamie Considers Lucy

Jamie has been a little skeptical of this whole new sister thing...but he's starting to warm up.

Charlie & Lucy

Charlie loves to look at Lucy and hold her. He is a little smitten with baby sister.

Dinner Last Night - At The Hospital

Hospital food is kind of scary but they made us a special new parents dinner - and yes that is steak!

Sleepy Lucy

This photo isn't great because I didn't want to wake her up with flash...she isn't quite asleep and still has her eyes slightly open.

Lucy and Family

We got her all dressed up to leave the hospital and the boys came to see her off.
