Fall Photos

I've gotten pretty decent at capturing some good photos of our boys on our camera, but for my birthday I asked for the gift of a family photo shoot (it had been over a year) to get some photos of the whole family which are much harder/impossible for me to capture myself. We finally got around to having them done in the fall and there was a local photographer doing sessions in a cotton patch. They turned out really nice and we captured the boys at about 2.5, 4.5, and 7.5! Here are a few of my favorites.

We could not get all three to cooperate for the group brother photo!

Halloween Costumes

This year the boys chose to dress like a Lego Policeman (James), Bunga the Honey Badger from Lion Guard (Jude), and Joah was Blaze from Blaze and the Monster Machines. I always like to take pictures on my actual camera a day or two before the first event because they are alway too excited the night of the actual event. This year we wore the costumes to Trunk or Treat at Church, Boo at the Zoo, and Chickfila for free kids meals on Halloween Night.

Catching up on September Happenings:

In September we continued plugging along with school (James second grade year which is focused on United States History is so interesting! I am learning so much too!),  James raised over $80 at a lemonade stand for Hurricane Harvey (project for school) and we also had a Mama/Son date to watch the sunrise as part of a school unit, we got to go to the beach with my Dad and Step-Mom for a weekend which we didn't think was going to happen due to Hurricane Irma and the boys had a wonderful time with them,  James got brave enough to ride his bike without his training wheels and took off immediately, Awana started back, and we had lots of outdoor time at the park. The food pictures in the last few posts are any non-dairy recipes that I've discovered. Joah eats no dairy at all now and when we introduce it he immediately throws up again usually within the hour. We pray he will eventually grow out of it but I think it will be later rather than sooner. Here are some september happenings:
