RUF Halloween Party, FINALLY!

Halloween 2010

I love the progression of these pictures. Can you tell that Michael is tickling Caleb to get a smile out of him? Caleb has been asking to put his fireman suit on and get more candy all week. I think he gets the idea :) More pictures to come soon of the RUF Halloween party.

silly babies

Isn't he such a handsome boy? I just adore him.
Poor Abby had a diaper rash, so I let her crawl around in the buff for a while this particular morning. She and Caleb found a fun hide out between her crib and the wall.
Then she saw that mommy had a yummy camera that she wanted to chew on.
And Caleb thought he'd join her.
Don't you love this face she's making at him? I wonder what she was thinking about.

train and zoo

These words represent two of Caleb's favorite things ever, and he got to experience both of them in one day! He may look like he's not having fun in the train pictures, but he's actually just overwhelmed with all the "fun-ness" of it all. The monkey picture below comes with a funny story. We were standing at this window watching the monkey's swing around for a few minutes, then Caleb turned around to talk to me. In the few seconds that he turned away, this monkey that you see in the picture came right up to the window as you see him. When Caleb turned back around he was face to face with a silly monkey. Of course this scared the pants off of him, and he screamed at the top of his lungs. However, when he saw how hard I was laughing at he scenario, he started laughing too and couldn't stop! We talked about that one for days :)

We love the San Antonio zoo and hope to spend a lot of time there now that is "cooling down"...as in, not over 100 degrees.

Double seater

Caleb loves rocking in Abby's car seat and asked to have Abby sit in his lap one day. She actually enjoyed rocking with him. He's training her to be quite the adventurous little girl.

Rainy Day

Caleb and I took a walk the other day after a big rainstorm, and he had the best time in the puddles with his newly fitting rain boots. It was so fun to live vicariously through his screaming and splashing...ok, I admit I did a bit of splashing around myself. I love the dirty hands picture...that part of him takes after his daddy, I think. What a fun day with a fun boy!

Partners in crime

I love this picture. Caleb was trying to show Abby a picture of her as a newborn. Precious.

A follow up video

I took this video of Abby the same day as those pictures from a couple days ago. This was in the middle of her "lala" phase. She said "lala" all day for about a week. Now she's into "dada" which must be fun for Michael to hear even though I don't know if she understands that it applies to him yet:)

More Abby...

Who can resist this sweet face?
