Pumpkin Patch

Will: "Whats wrong buddy? Its ok! Its just a pumpkin!" Hart: "HEEELP! HEEEELP!"

My neighbor, Amy Masincupp, and I took our boys, Will & Hart to the Pumpkin Patch for a photo opp. Turns out, Hart is terrified of pumpkins. Will, however, had a great time posing for the camera, and couldn't figure out why Hart was crying.

Waynesville, NC

Over the weekend, Will and I traveled to Waynesville, NC to visit with my parents, 2 of my sisters, and Tony (Joanna's husband). We had a great time looking at the beautiful fall foilage, dining out at Clydes' restaurant, shopping on Main Street, and going to Thad Woods' Auction. Hopefully, next time, Brian and Sarah will be able to join us!

Granpa's Day Out

Dad was kind enough to watch Will for me on Monday 10/26 while Helen was off for the day. They had a great time! Dad said that he followed Will around the house most of the day and let him play as he wished. I know Will loved that! Thank you, Dad, for watching "Cubs"!

9 months old!

Pictures are to follow...

But Will turned 9 months old today! I can't believe how quickly time has flown by. He had his wellness appointment today and his measurements were:

Weight: 21lbs - 50th percentile
Length: 30 inches - 90th percentile - Will is a tall boy!
Head Circumference: 17 3/4 - 25th-50th percentile

He received a good report and seems to be doing everything a 9 month old should do - including getting into EVERYTHING and keeping me on my toes! He can now have meats and table food and Dr. Geurkink encouraged us to feed him what we ate, when we ate. Sounds fun!

Thats all for now. Pics to follow! --- Haley

Big Weekend in WV!

This past weekend we went to Huntington, WV to visit and celebrate Tim's 60th Birthday (10/4), Haley's 30th Birthday (10/31) and Caroline's 3rd Birthday (10/13). This was also the first time that the entire clan has been together, and the first time that Chad, Mary, and the kids met Will. It was a fun and exciting weekend for us all! It was hard to get them to sit still long enough to take a picture, but here are a few.


Will is crawling all over the place and even pulling up!



Caroline is SO happy with her orange star balloon. She was completely devastated when Uncle Brian released it into the sky to be with the other stars. We had no idea she'd react that way and
thought she understood what we were doing!

The cousins: Caroline, Will and Tucker.





Will and Tucker covered in drool and probably up to no good.

Day at the park (8.5 months old)

Today we took Will and Drake to Saluda Shoals park for the outdoor art festival. We took a break to listen to the Lake Murray Symphony Orchestra tuning up for their concert. Here are a few pictures of Will being pretty cute.
