We hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We are very thankful for these 2 boys. We wish everyone a wonderful holiday season!

While Charlie was napping today, I set up the old Jumparoo for Baby Jude. He is still kinda small for it, but he likes it.

When Charlie woke up from his nap, he gave Jude a jumping tutorial. I love the look on Jude's face in this picture - there is definitely an element of fear.

This is when Charlie decided to "push Jude on the swing."

And later, this was the scene I discovered....

Jude's personality really shines in these pictures.

Is this the smallest pea coat you have ever seen?

Charlie picked the winner in his first election :)

We were visited by Superman and a cow this Halloween. The boys had a fun time seeing the trick or treaters. Charlie even did a little trick or treating himself this year. Linda Kay came over and joined the festivities.

At this point in the evening, Charlie had one too many candies and was not cooperating with pictures.

Here is one of Nat carving the pumpkin. Try not to notice how close the knife is to Charlie's hands. Sometimes Nat and I differ on our views of "safety."

We took the boys the the Arboretum to see the fall colors. It's a great place for enjoying nature and letting your 2 year old run free.

Nat ran the Marine Corps Marathon last weekend. As you can see, we were very proud of him :)

Nat's little protege

Somehow, the instructions to "keep it long in front" did not communicate well to the lady at Hair Cuttery.
