Halloween & more...

There have been some changes this year that I must say have been fun! Morgan and Kayla are being home schooled, and as much as I was scared I wouldn't get enough sister time (selfish, I know) ~ I think we may actually see each other even more, if that is possible! Plus, I get the added bonus of sharing our days w/ my adorable nieces. Selah doesn't quite understand why we don't just live with them!!!! And another change this summer/fall is Nana & Papa's home being under MAJOR construction! So, with that comes the bonus of meals at our house w/ them! Again, Selah can't quite understand why this project isn't done yet (neither can Mom & Dad DuRoss!!!).

There are LOTS of changes with our "little man" these days too! Let me try and remember them all. We have retired our high chair and he now sits in a big boy chair next to Selah. Seriously ~that just melts my heart! He can evidently undress himself completely ~ Derek caught this great shot!! He is a pro on our stairs down to the basement. And, he is talking up a storm and probably growing weary of us saying "Judah, say........". But it's so much fun and he loves the applause! I think his most recent list (and don't be offended if you aren't on it, he is adding daily) is DaDa, MaMa, Lela (Selah), KeKe (Kitty), Ora (Dora ~ yes, he has an older sister), Nana, Baba (Sippy Cup), Eat, Shoes, Ball, More, Done, UhhhOhhhh, Nice (yes, he hears me saying "be nice to your sister all day long") ~ I am sure there are more, but that is all that comes to mind!! We are just treasuring every minute with our man and our sweet Selah. As much as they can get at each other, they love up on each other just as much. After dinner has really become their special time ~ now they head off to the basement and get into all sorts of "trouble"!!

And last, but not least, are the Halloween shots. We went to the Chesterland Fire Dept. all dressed up with the Congdons. They got to go through the rescue house and even climb out the window of the mini-me house, check out the inside of an ambulace and even "drive" a fire truck ~ what more could you ask for???
