Louis the Dinosaur on Halloween! He wouldn't put the head on so it was kind of hard to tell he was a dino. Also, trying to get a decent picture of the whirling dervish is impossible, Here are pics from our neghborhood pre- trick or treat party. He was a bit overwhelmed by all the kids in costume. Louis did go trick or treat at a few houses but didn't really grasp the concept (other than the fact that he likes candy!)

Pics from our visit to Hill Ridge Farm Fall Festival in Youngsville, NC on Sunday. It has a big pumpkin patch, a train, and hay wagon rides. Unfortunatley, my camera died before the really fun stuff!


Louis in the moon bounce-he LOVED this!

Hanging with the goats..they had a huge outdoor play area for the animals but it was too hot for the animals to do much.

A tractor backfiring scared the daylights out of Louis..but the hay wagons that we rode on are the background!

Louis' fave part of the trip..the train ride around the farm!

Louis' wacky world view. Here are pics of Louis in his new sweater that mommy made him. In true toddler boy fashion, the sweater was covered in briars and beggar's ticks in a matter of minutes. No worries! The sweater was made to be worn and worn proud! OF course, it's only cold enough for about an hour each morning to actually need a sweater (this is why I made it BIG, people!) In other news, Louis is almost 2 and is talking up a storm! His newest words are "front loader" (sounds more like" fun odor" !) and "e-i-e-i-O" (which sounds just like you think it does!). He refers to himself as Nu or NuNu (can't say his "L's" yet, we guess or he got it from a certain cousin Mike).

Me... Me... Meeeee...


Louis is 23 months old tomorrow.

Grandpa was 780 months on Friday. Happy Birthday Grandpa!
