Carving our Pumpkin

Last night we carved our pumpkin! I say we, but Anson did most of the work.

Lily trying to pick it up! Daddy cutting into the top.
Lily looking inside. She's such a girly girl. She wouldn't even touch the slimy part!

At the very end of one of the videos below, you'll see Lily take a spill right into all the seeds and slim. So, we had to take her clothes off...I caught this pic of her naked.
Oooohhhh!!!! Didn't Anson do a good job?

Fall Bike Ride

We took Lily to the Canfield Biketrail. She wasn't too fond of it at first - mostly because she doesn't like her helmet - but I think she had fun after awhile.Trying to take her helmet off
Lily fell asleep...doesn't look comfortable, does it?

It was so pretty with the leaves on the trees all different colors. That's Anson way up there. I was behind practically the whole time. We rode about 10 miles that day.
Tired Lily...she was really sleepy on the way home but didn't fall asleep until we actually got home, which was great because we all took a nap.

Playing at the house and the park

This post is just a bunch of random photos and videos from the past week. I had Yom Kippur off of work this past Thursday so I spent the day with Lily. We went up and had lunch with Daddy and then went to a nearby park to play. I forgot my camera that day so I don't have any photos.

Yesterday was a nice day. We ran errands all afternoon in Belden and took Lily to the Jackson Community Park (see pics below). Then, last night we met Uncle Larry, Aunt Margaret, Cousin Kim and her 3 kids and Jeremy & Renee at Parasson's for dinner. It was really great seeing them.

Puppy kisses...this video is of Sampson giving Lily loving and kisses, and of Lily saying lots of things we don't understand.

This video I call "Where's Lily?" We play this game at least 10 times a day, and of course, she never gets sick of it. She hides behind the couch until we say "Where's Lily?" and then she pops up laughing. Simple joys. Oh, and as you can see, we've expanded Lily's play area. We still keep the gate up to separate Sampson from her. He doesn't mean to but he knocks into to her and we're just afraid he'd end up hurting her. So, she's learning not to touch the TV stuff.

Pregnacy update: All is going well. I am 18 weeks now and looking forward to my ultrasound on Oct.23. The sickness has subsided and I have more energy these days. We can't wait to see if it's a boy or a girl =)

Chilly Evening for a Bonfire

We had a little shindig last night. It was a perfect night for a bonfire. Enjoy all the pics!

Lily was starving by the time the burgers were ready...here she's pleading for a chip.Our living room looks so big without the gate and baby jumper.

Even Sampson was at the party.

Brent and Megan - they announced their big news last night. They're expecting their first baby in late April. Congratulations! We are so happy that Lily and Baby #2 will have a playmate.

That's all the pics from the bonfire. Below are some random pics I took of Lily last Tuesday when I was off for Rosh Hashanah. This week I have Thursday off for Yom Kippur =)
There's those eyebrows again!
