A BIG THANK YOU!!

While most of you already know, Dev has been pretty sick lately. Ben and I just wanted to thank everyone for all of your continued support and let you know how grateful we are for all of your prayers! Dev's spirits seem to be high... we'll let you know when everything clears up! We love you all!

Our Little Pumpkin... Our Little Monkey

Ben and I hope you had a wonderful Halloween! For Dev's 2nd Halloween (second! Can you beleive that?), we dressed him up as an adorable monkey (it seemed fitting). He looked soooo cute but was he ever unhappy!! He threw the biggest fit! The costume was 12 months, but because he's soooo tall, it was just way to small. We took a few pictures and then undressed him right away. For Halloween, my parents spent the evening with us, which was such a treat! :) I had an ultrasound conference early that next morning, and because Dev has been sick, we didn't want to bring Dev out in the cold air. We all stayed up pretty late, ate some candy and watched a typical scary halloween movie. All in all, it was a fun evening. Hopefully next year we'll get to hit the streets! :)

To get into the spirit of Halloween, my parents, Ben, Devon and I went to the pumpkin patch and found 4 perfect pumpkins. The pumpkin patch was huge!! From farm animals, corn mazes and pumpkin slingshots to festive displays and a massive amount of pumpkins! We all had an absolute blast!! Dev rode in the wheelbarrow, helped pick pumpkins, saw some farm animals, touched a giant spider, had his first (small) bite of a caramel apple and rode on Papa's shoulders. What can get better than that?? Below are a few pictures...

The following weekend, we put Dev to bed and carved our pumpkins. My dad spent soooo long deciding what to carve. While my mom and I, found the most challenging template for Ben. (It's tradition that Ben carves the hardest design.) The pumpkins turned out great!
