baseballs and baby dolls....

Hudson had such a fun day today. We went "trick-or-treating" with our playgroup at the school for the deaf. Since it is a bit warmer today, we left the "mouse" at home and opted for the baseball player. He loves to wear his hat "just like daddy". He LOVED following the kids door to door and seeing the "big" kids give out candy.

Then when we got home we had a special package in the mail. Nana sent Hudson his very own boy cowboy baby doll. Hudson was very interested in another little girl's doll at an indoor playground last week but all we could find were lots of pink ones so Nana made a special outfit for his doll.

As soon as he opened the package, Hudson took out the doll and gave it lots of hugs and kisses. He carried it around the house with him and is taking a nap with the doll now. He even offered it his a pacifier at naptime.

Pumpkins, mice and boxes

We've been a little busy around here starting the packing and getting ready for the big move in just a few weeks. Hudson thinks the boxes are big blocks and has been excited about his new indoor playground!.Here is a sneak peek at the halloween costume. Nana made him a mouse costume like Uncle Evan used to have. Yes, he is chewing on his tail!

Yummy pizza

Hudson loves to help in the kitchen now. Here he is "helping" make rice. I won't be surprised if the new house owners find rice when they move in!

fall photo shoot

I took the camera outside today after naptime to try to get some pictures of Hudson - you'll notice someone still has some bedhead! It isn't easy to get a picture of an 18 month old as he is so quick but here are some attempts....

He LOVES to play in the car in the drive way and pretend he is driving.
A safer choice for cruisin'....thanks Nana for the coupe!

sneak peek of Evan and Lyndi's wedding

We just got back from Evan and Lyndi's beautiful wedding in St Louis. It was perfect - the weather, rehearsal, reception - everything!!! Apparently we were too busy chasing a wild little monkey around because I ended up with only a few pictures of the wedding but more will follow soon!Playing the piano with Aunt Dana





Nana and second cousin Lucy - these two kissed or hugged every time they passed each other in the house....so, sweet
