What My Autumn has Brought Me

I just wanted to share a little bit of what this great season in my life has brought to me recently. Namely: Joy, smiles, fun, patience, understanding, humility and lots of fun. Here's some pics of my sweet family.

This was our Avengers Reunion we had a few weeks ago. Polo looked forward to it for months and insisted that he not only be Batman (we have nearly every other superhero costume already in our home- just not that one!) but that he be the BLUE Batman! Thank you Amazon.com for carrying such things at such great prices and helping me make a priceless little hero! Oh and there's Superman in his Clark Kent disguise! I was planning to be She-Hulk but never really made it around to a good costume so- there.

We blessed Wesley the Sunday after the reunion and it was awesome to have so many from both of our families come and support us in this.

Thanks to Lene we didn't have to buy a blessing outfit- or so we thought. Wesley is growing at an amazing rate up there in the 95th percentile! Needless to say, he was busting out of his cute little tux and pants and they came off right after the blessing. (at least he didn't have a blow-out in them) So we have no pictures of him in the actual suit- but these are the pictures of the feeling we all felt that day! See how happy we all are?!

Here's my superman again- thanks Pinterest!

Who knew a mohawk could grow so perfectly? He'll never have to do his hair- ever! All I ever do is dry it with a towel and then it spikes up like this! Uncle D has lovingly nicknamed him Spike.

And sometimes Spike gets so tired that he just can't take it anymore. He has learned to roll over and then tries to move but inevitably inches backwards- which really makes him mad- and tired apparently!

And this is my ninja. He is reading and writing stuff getting smarter every day. He often talks to me about how he's going to have a wife someday and have some kids so we've been discussing what kinds of things he will need to do for his "beautiful wife". He's going to be really good at it when he finally gets there! Good thing I have a few years left with his sweet little ninja face!
