October 2015

In October we took some of grandpa Dennis' kayaks to store in our garage. He came to help Nathan mount them in the garage. Fox wanted to help, but it turns out he's a better project manager.

After the kayaks were taken care of, we still had enough daylight to visit the pumpkin patch. What a fun time.

Halloween was a fail. I tracked down a fireman's costume because Fox had shown interest. But when it came time to put it on for the Halloween parties, he was NOT interested. Of course later, when it was just us, he had no problem being Fireman Fox.

Fox also got to meet his cousin Ella. He was curious, but I think it was more curious to see if she would do anything.

 

Finally, I just wanted to share some of the cuteness. The lesson is that it's so important to watch what is said around little ones because they pick it up and repeat. Oh my goodness.

September 2015

As the seasons change so does life. September brought many changes to our family. I started a full time teaching job at Decatur HS in Federal Way. That meant that Fox started full time daycare. We found a lovely place just a few minutes from home. The transition was a little rocky, but he's adaptable and adjusted well.

We soaked up every bit of sunshine we could. We spent time outdoors whenever possible. Including Fox getting his hair cut from our friend Chelsea. He might have a crush on her :)

With me going back to school and Fox going into daycare, our household caught just about every version of the cold virus known to man. And we weren't shy about sharing either. It seems like we were sick for just about the entire month. Fox got an ear infection. Which meant spending time at the doctor's office, no fun. But he did like the toys in the waiting room.

He also spent quality time with Nathan learning the important life skills associated with chess.

The last exciting thing in September was the change to the front facing car seat. He loved it.

Fox is TWO

It was so much fun to have family and friends over to celebrate Fox's birthday. He thought the cake was pretty great and really liked the Thomas and Friends decorations. His dreams came true when he opened several gifts with different sizes and varieties of Thomas trains.

We'd heard rumors of terrible two's, but Fox is a great boy. It was a blessed day, and we are blessed to have him.
