Halloween 2010 - Jacob's First Trick-Or-Treat Experience

Our little ninja, Jacob, had his first trick-or-treating experience today. We went out twice - once with just me, him and Baba and then again with Tiffany and Luke.

He had a great time, but thought he was supposed to go in all the houses we went to, instead of just taking the candy. By the third house, he had the "Trick or treat. Thank you" down pat.

He's already asleep, but he's rolling around and talking a lot in there. He does this often when he's overtired and has had a very busy or emotional day. He seems to relive it in his sleep.

We only had 17 kids come to the house so far, and I don't think we'll get any more. It's dark and my driveway is scary. :o( I really like getting a lot of kids.

October 2010

Pumpkin Picking, Pumpkin Carving, Halloween Costumes and Random Silliness

The title says it all. There are photos of Jacob trying on his Halloween costume, picking pumpkins with Baba and Mommy, carving pumpkins with Baba and Nana, posing in his school Halloween costume and just hanging around.

Seriously, who's cuter than my Jacob?

Jacob's Halloween Party

We had Jacob's first Halloween party today. It was wonderful to see everyone and watch all the kids run around and have fun.

Jacob was a ninja (am I stereotyping a bit?), and looked adorable in his costume.

It was a little chilly, but we had everything set up for outside, since the kids all wanted to run around. Tom lit the chiminea so people could warm up if they wanted to.

Brandon stayed overnight to help us decorate. He was a great help.

Baptism

Jacob was baptized at our Church, St. Mary's, this past Sunday, 10/10/10. He was his typical hambone self and had a great day.

The party following the baptism was wonderful. Getting the family together to celebrate is always a good thing.

Apple Picking

I'm a big fan of Fall and all that comes with it - apples, pumpkins, cool weather and, of course, Halloween.

Every year, we go apple picking to our friend Elissa's family farm in Water Mill, Seven Ponds Orchard. It's a chance to see Elissa and also to pick some really yummy apples.

This year, having the little guy with us, made it really special. After we hung out with Elissa for a while, we went in the corn maze, picked apples and string beans, went on a hayride (which Jacob loved, since he could ride right behind a tractor), we headed over to Montauk to have a bite to eat, see the lighthouse and wander around on the beach.

What a fantastic day with my two guys. Pictures are here.

There are also pictures from Jacob's first train ride (LIRR to Manhattan, then on to Chinatown) and some other random photos.
