Fall is finally here!

And it's only mid-November. What a year! With the fall temperatures finally here, we've been doing a lot of prjoects inside the house. One thing we'll be doing soon is painting Gwydion's bedroom. I've made new curtains for his windows and will be painting to match the wonderfully bright colors of the jungle animals on the fabric. I can't wait to get started!

Gwydion is doing well, aside from some sleep issues. He's recently decided he doesn't want to sleep alone, so we have about 30 minutes of crying to get through a few nights a week. He's very slowly started talking more. His most recent words are 'girl' and 'train'. He still does everything on his own schedule though- if he doesn't want to identify something, he won't. He has been asking the names of everything under the sun lately, so maybe it won't be long before we have a real talker. No matter how many times you ask. Stubborn child (I wonder where he gets that?). By my measurements, he's 23 lbs and 31 1/2 inches tall.

Here are a few recent pics:

Gwydion loves the new car!


Who needs expensive toys when a laundry basket is so much fun?

Or cat toys for that matter......


Grandpa brought us a sandbox. Gwydion has never had so much fun!

You can only tell it's fall...

because the trees are shedding their leaves. It's been 85 degrees all weekend, no rain in sight. I'm glad it isn't snowing, but a few cool, rainy days would be welcome! Gwydion is enjoying the weather quite a bit, as you can see.

Visit with the Heplers

There was a big party this weekend for my uncle Dean's 70th birthday, so we got to see a lot of family we don't usually see. We had a very nice visit. Check out the pics below.

Grandma Hepler, me, Gwydion, and Rick.

Halloween!!!

We didn't get very many good pictures of Gwydion trick-or-treating, but he had a great time! We went to Grandpa Don's house and to Grandma Diane's, mostly to show off Gwydion in his cute teddy bear costume.
