Halloween!

By
It was a cold, windy Halloween here this year, but we had a good time never the less!  Many families out east were facing rough times, so we considered ourselves blessed to be able to do something as frivolous as dressing up in silly costumes and trick-or-treating.  Leah decided she wanted to be an angel this year, and Wyatt "decided" to be a baseball.  :)  They were both pretty cute if I do say so myself!  I thought Wyatt would be grumpy when we put him in his costume; I figured if I got one good picture it would be worth the time it took to make it!  But he was happy as a clam and he smiled and cooed away, so I got lots of great pictures.  He was certainly the warmest of of us all during trick-or-treating, although he only went the length of one block  before I took him inside again.  (Leah and Ryan kept going - I think Leah would have trick-or-treated all night if we let her!)

Greetings friends, Thanks to all your prayers and support over these last months, my job search is finally over.  It ended where it began, in the principal's office at Marian High School, a Catholic high school in Mishawaka, IN, about 5 minutes from our house. I will be teaching 11th and 12th grade English-- 4 sections of honors Junior composition, and 1 Senior world literature course.  Both Nicole and I are very excited about this opportunity, as we will now be on the same schedules with breaks and will, of course, have the summers off to travel and visit all of you, our family and friends. I am observing the teacher who is resigning over the next week, and I will begin on my own Monday, November 3, just in time for Nikki to go into labor, necessitating my finding a sub for a week or so?!  Oh well, what can you do? Thanks again to all of you who have prayed earnestly that this challenging time would pass.  We are truly blessed by all of you.

Entertainment

By
Leah is singing, singing, singing these days... Some nights we hear her singing all kinds of songs to herself after we put her to bed. One of her new favorites is "Twinkie Doodle." We tried to teach her how to say "Yankee" for a while and then figured, why bother? We like this Twinkie Doodle character better. The other video is her very first knock knock "joke." Often while I am cooking dinner she hangs out in the kitchen with me, being my helper and entertainment in one.

The Nursery Progression

By
Here are some pictures of the nursery in stages.  The first few show just plain primed walls with painting tape.  The next couple show us starting to paint, followed by the adventure that was putting up the chair rail.  The last photos are finishing the painting, doing some touch ups, and the finished product.  It was a lot of fun, and Nicole's nesting urges were satisfied for the time being.  We're doing a ladybug theme, with the green and pink being the dominant colors. We do have some accents like picture frames, shelves, and hanging baskets that are being painted red.  All we need now is some baby furniture.  Enjoy the photos and comment away.
