Happy Halloween
Keenan had a great Halloween. It was very busy. First he went to a party at the gym where he celebrated the holiday with his friend Emerson. Then he went home and took two naps before he headed back out to march in a parade and do a little trick-or-treating. By the second house (he only went to two) he figured out the whole candy thing and started emptying Aunt Kathy and Uncle Brian's candy basket into his pumpkin.

We took Katie and Keenan to the Pumpkin Patch. We had lots of fun picking out pumpkins, looking at farm animals, taking a hay ride and going through a maze. This is the second year we have gone and look forward to making it a family tradition.

We went to the Pumpkin Fest last week, there were pumkins that weighed as much as 1200 lbs.

We tired growing a pumkin this year the vines grew but there was never a pumpkin.

What a difference a year makes!

We can't believe that last year at this time Keenan could fit in a baseball glove! He can still get the outfit on from his announcement picture, we just can't snap it around his diaper anymore.

Tomorrow the Hurricane's football season starts, Don is looking forward to watching the games with Keenan. GO CANES!

2007-08-31T08:53:00.000-04:00

Went Fishin'

Of course we caught nothing, but it was fun to be out on the lake. Katie drove the boat and her little brother helped.

2007-08-25T09:09:00.000-04:00

When we went to Disney World in July the first thing we did when we got there was to get Keenan some Mickey Mouse ears with his name on them. We parked our stroller with a hundred of other stollers and we left Keenan's ears and Katie's new pink Miami Univ. hat on the stroller. We went on our first ride of the day and when we returned to get the stroller someone had stollen both of the hats!! We thought they would be safe because after all it was Disney World the happiest place on earth (and all the other strollers had belongings left on them). We couldn't believe it and were very upset, we really wanted those ears as a keepsake and Katie loved her hat!!

Well Katie just returned from another trip to Fla. and guess what! She brought Keenan home some Mickey Mouse ears!!

2007-08-21T10:40:00.000-04:00
