This post may or may not contain an excessive amount of pictures of Carter with pumpkins and/or in his Halloween costume. Consider yourself warned.



Now.



On to the good stuff!



On Saturday we took Carter up to the pumpkin patch right down the road. We had tried to go to the Dallas Arboretum a couple weeks ago since they have a really cool pumpkin display, but it was insane that day. This patch was kinda slim pickens by Halloween Eve, and after about 4 pictures my camera battery died, but fortunately I had my other camera in the diaper bag and got some good ones.

Sometimes he looks like me so much that even I have to admit it! Like this face here...

He was more interested in eating the grass

And the pumpkins

He looks like such a little boy here!

We had Trunk or Treat at our new church, C3

Christiaan's truck all set up with games and candy

Halloween costume was not a success. He barely wore it long enough for pictures. He was supposed to be the Baylor bear, Bruiser, and Christiaan got a shirt for him to wear over the costume, but we never got that far!

Carter and Brycen

Christiaan carved the Baylor bear claw in our pumpkin! I do not have the patience for that kind of detail!

An attempt at pictures today. Not much more successful than before because he wanted to eat the grass again!

He is into EVERYTHING!! He climbs on anything that will stand still!! Here he was totally hacked because he couldn't lift his leg high enough to climb the rungs of the chair.

Busted! Climbed up on the coffee table by himself!

GrandDude and GranPam got him a new walking toy. I love his look of total concentration here!

Yeah that one tooth I said last time that he had?? Try 3, and 2 more about to break through! Poor kid! And poor mommy! Can I get a little sympathy here for how the last couple of weeks have been?

In other news....Christiaan will be moving here in the next couple of weeks! We are trying not to put too many details on the internet because we aren't sure of their privacy policies, but just know that the job is HERE and he starts November 22nd! We are beyond excited. So, our next few weekends will probably be pretty busy trying to find him a place to live, move him here, and it is still football season!
