Jack turned 6 months old this past weekend. Time truly does fly by - I can't believe he is already half way to his first birthday.
He had his doctor appointment on Thursday and weighed in at 20 lbs and 28.5 inches long. He is one big boy! Thankfully it's proportional than more extreme than the other.
Doctor says he looks healthy and keep up the good work.
Overall Jack is growing like a weed and will be one before we know it!
This has been the year of weddings for us. We recently attended our friend's Josh and Trisha's wedding. It was great time - we saw a lot people we haven't seen in years.
Trisha looked beautiful and Josh looked the happiest I have ever seen him.
We wish Josh and Trisha the best!

We had a lot of fun this year for Halloween. The weather was gorgeous - no need for extra layers under your costume! I think it reached 70˚F that day.
It was Jack's first Halloween. He was going to be a "Jack" O Lantern, but we were invited to a Halloween party at Amy and Brad's and were asked to dress up. So I thought for awhile and came up with the best costume - Cruella DeVil and Jack as my dalmation puppy! It turned out great!
Jared and Andrew had fun dressing up as beach bums and hillbillies.
Overall, it was a great night!
Thanks Amy for hosting a great party!

Andrew turned 13 this past Monday. I can't believe that we have a teenager in our house. Before we know it, he'll be asking to borrow the car!
Andrew is directing his life path into becoming a director/movie maker. He loves writing screenplays, creating characters and making movies. He uses puppets to help make his characters come to life. Andrew choose a muppet/movie theme for his party. It was fun decorating the place in this theme. We found a really cool director's cut at the balloon store and used filled popcorn into popcorn movie bowls. I also created a photo montage displaying pictures of Andrew's life and had it playing on our lap top.
Of course Andrew was spoiled and receive many great gifts.

We brought dinner over to our friend's home, Carin and Dustin, last week. Jared hasn't seen Cole yet and boy was he surprised to actually see how little he is! Cole is adjusting great and so is Carin! He is just too cute. Here are some pictures I took that night.
Cole can't be around small children yet. But we can't wait for Jack to meet his new best bud, Cole. Hopefully they'll be best friends just like their Dads.

I love this pic!
What a doll
Not happy!
Sycamore had their annual Pumpkin Fest - the weather was great until Sunday, the day of the parade. It was so cold and the wind was extreme - we couldn't stay out any longer, so we left early and headed to Amy's house for the after party.
But we did get to spend some time with our friends.
Ainsley is Jody and Jeremy's little girl - she'll be 2 in December.
She is such a cutie and of course, couldn't sit still for the pictures!
Here are a few:

Jared and Ainsley
Than on Sunday before the parade we stopped to see our friends Erin and Chad with their little girl Lana. Crazy enough - Lana and Jack we born on the same day, 2 hours apart! It was great for Chad and Jared (good friends) to spend the day in the hospital together as their wives prepared for the birth of the babies.
It was great seeing Lana and Jack together.
Jack had such a crazy weekend with little nap time - this is NOT a staged pose. He actually fell asleep on his Dad's lap like this (shhh...but for some reason, Jack loves beer bottles! So he is always trying to grab his Dad's and here he decided to sleep instead of trying to get the bottle!).
It was so cold out - Jack all bundled up!
Earlier in October we went to the Scarecrow festival in St. Charles, Illinois. It's a lot like our Pumpkin Fest Festival, but instead of decorating pumpkins, they decorate scarecrows up!
The weather was incredible - it felt like June, not October!
