Autumn in the Backyard

Can't Get Enough of Those Trains

This is my view of my son most of the time these days.  Particularly when he's upstairs and is REALLY quiet.

Or this view.  I call this one the Headless Pender.

Hair Cut for Pender

His lovely long locks... sigh

And his super sweet little boy cut.

Another Tooth Gone

If you look closely, you can see the bottom middle tooth jutting out.  This was a day or two before #2 came out.

I pulled it since it was just barely in there.  And then she cried.  And cried and cried.  I didn't realize that she didn't want it out until it was too late.  She said she wanted to keep it and didn't want the tooth fairy to take it.  So we ended up "hiding" it from the tooth fairy in one of her matroshka dolls on top of her knick-knack shelf... and there it sits.  By the way, mom says Myrick looks just like me in this picture when I was little!

Arghhhh Matey!  All they wanted to do was dance to the music in the gazebo!
