It's been a while since I've posted. Partly because I haven't wanted to expend the effort it takes to blog. Partly because we, uh, misplaced our camera for a while. But, fret not, I'm back, and I'll do my best to sum up the last month or so.
Ben is:
* Super excited for Halloween and obsessed with pumpkins. We went to the pumpkin patch last week and ever since Ben has often invited me to reflect with him:
"Mommy, 'member the pumpkins?"
"Yes, Ben."
"'Member the pumpkin patch?"
"Yes, Ben."
"Yeaaahhh. . . ."
(Side note: Why do we always pick the coldest night in October to go to the pumpkin patch?)
* Super excited to be a pirate for Halloween. At this point, pirates are Halloween. Every time he sees a Halloween display at a store he says, "Look mommy. Pirates!" I don't think he really knows what I pirate is. And, I'm sure he doesn't know what a pirate map is since he has been calling the Michael's ad he salvaged from the Sunday paper his pirate map.
Davie is:
* Busy being adorable and smiley.
* Chomping with his two new teeth, which arrived promptly at seven months.
* Well on his way to crawling. He started army crawling right at seven months. What's the deal with that?
Cam is:
* Loving his boys.
I am:
* A baking fool. Maybe it's staying home with the kids. Maybe it's the fall weather. But I've spent more time in the kitchen in the last month than I probably have in my entire life up to this point. Apple pie anyone?
It was made with apples grown in Summit and it was delicious.

it looks like a delicious pie. I've been baking a lot too. I think it's the weather.
Davie's picture in the towel is adorable!! And the apple pie. . . why you're the domestic goddess aren't you now!? Can't wait to see the pirate halloween pictures.
Yes, and Dad is reminiscing about the apple pie--"She sure learned how to do that!" Cute kids--can hardly wait to see them again.
Enjoyed the update. That is an impressive looking pie. Davie is super cute and I like Ben's facination with pirates and pumpkins.
My favorite pic is Ben pushing the wheelbarrow. You can tell he's taking his job super seriously.
And the pie is drop dead gorgeous. I hope making it was as fun as preparing legal briefs.
The picture of Ben on the tractor is so cute and the apple pie makes my mouth water!
Just so you all know, that pie was the best apple pie I've ever tasted. Mmmmm. I want more.
oh, and you know you must be a stay at home mom when you start baking, taking pictures of what you bake and then posting said pictures on your blog. welcome to the club.
Love, Love, Love the video of bathtime. The giggling is priceless! By the way, if you have another day and want to sell the boys, call me! I remember days like that, especially with Cam and all his ear infections. Its amazing he made it to the 1st grad alive. As for the apple pie...I'm speachless!
