Happy Halloween!

We just couldn't resist making pun of our child this year...It's a German Shepard.

Our little pumpkin

One year ago yesterday, we found out about our little "pumpkin." That's what we called him until we found out he was a he. And here we are one year later. An armful of pumpkin-y goodness! This isn't his official halloween costume, but just a super-cute jammie set from Grandma J.

Bumbo. The magic baby armchair!

Ooooh. Ahhhh. Yeah, this one is nothing too exciting either. Just a slice of life.

Random video

Just to tide you over until I come up with something more exciting...

Whose child is this?

Shepard will often be doing something fun or funny; but when I reach for the video camera and get it going, he sometimes gets shy. (I wonder if he's mine!?! I mean, really.) Here's Daddy defending Shepard's right not to be a trained monkey.  :)

It's Fall, Y'all!

We were able to hit the Windy Hill Orchard Apple Festival last weekend. The sun was bright, and it was a beautiful day. Shepard hung out with some pumpkins...after he took a long nap. Mommy was delighted to get a caramel/candy apple! Next year, he'll probably really enjoy the pigs, goats, hayride, etc. This year, we just had a nice time being outside under the beautiful Carolina sky.

We are Three.

We had our photog-friend Mike Lamb take some pics of us in August. Our first "Family portraits..." Here's one...{Shepard was about 5 weeks}
