Thank-ful notes
For Thanksgiving, I wrote notes to everyone at our Thanksgiving table telling them why I was thankful for them this year. Here are the ones written to our family so I can toss the actual paper:
Garrett:
We are so thankful you were born this year! We love you so much! We are glad to see your smiles and hear your giggles. We are glad you are eating baby food and that you take a bottle! We are so thankful that you sleep so good and that you're such a mellow kid. We're glad you love all the attention you get from your big sis'. We're glad you don't have a receding hairline anymore :) Karsten is glad that his friends like you and that you love him!
Morgan:
We are thankful for Morgan! We love you and are especially thankful that you got potty-trained so quickly, that you started talking, that you can buckle your own seatbelt, that you are such a good big sister, and that you make us laugh! Karsten is thankful that you help him.
Karsten:
We are so thankful for Karsten! We love you and are so glad that you continue to be our mellow child. We are thankful you graduated Preschool and that you started Kingergarten. We're thankful you love school, that you love Morgan & Garrett, that you love to read, that you're a good friend to everyone. We're also thankful that you make us laugh and that you learned to buckle your own seatbelt this year too.
Theron/Dad:
We are so thankful for you and we love you! We are especially grateful that you graduated and have a real job that you enjoy! We are glad that you love spending time with us-that you'll play, read & watch movies with us every day. We're thankful that you teach us so many things. Mom is grateful that you're always willing to give her a break and tell her to go shopping when we (the kiddos) are driving her crazy. Mom is glad you let her get her elliptical machine this year and that you love her. Karsten is glad that you play with him alot.

Too tight.
Look at me! I am 2 1/2 and I can wear baby Garrett's size 3-6 month sweatshirt ( I also got to pick out my own PJ's today, can you tell?).

Halloween
I didn't get any good photos this year...we were rushing around and Theron wasn't home so it was the last thing on my mind. We will have to get them back in their costumes for a photo shoot. The first picture is Karsten's classroom halloween party. Can you find Karsten?
For those who follow Karsten's school stories-his "used-to-be" bus riding pal, Quinn, is in the front with the glasses. His table mates are Gabby and Campbell (on either side of him) and Will (his best buddy in his class) that sits across from him. His teacher, Mrs. Myers is on the far right.
At our church Trunk-or-treat.
Just before leaving to trick-or-treat. Garrett is on the very end scrunched next to Morgan the chicken. He was a dragon.

Some Random Photos
On an hourly basis, I am telling Morgan to get out of my lipstick. This time, figured I might as well get a picture of her makeup artistic flare. Check out her lips. Looks like she's sporting the Katie Couric look. Did anyone else think she wore her lipstick like this or was it just me? :)o
Sneak peak at our Pirate. He waited a WHOLE WEEK for this to finally show up at our doorstep. It was a LONG week.
Garrett is trying to sit up on his own. He's got a strong back, but bad balance (or maybe he's just top heavy-all those brains, you know). So, we're still working on perfection.
Hey. This turned out to be a pretty fair post. A picture and a story about each kid :)

Halloween Tradition
We started a tradition, thanks to some friends when we lived in Iowa (who may be readers of this blog) of taking pictures of our naked little infants in a pumpkin. We've timed the birth of our children just perfectly so they can adhere to this tradition for us. So, this weekend we followed suit with #3, little Mr. Garrett. Here are the not so perfect results. We had a hard time getting him to look AND Smile. I think he was wondering what the heck was going on. For fun, I've loaded a picture from Karsten and Morgan's experience as well. Enjoy
