October...Fall Time and Halloween!

October is a fun month in Chicago. We went to the city pumpkin patch, the country pumpkin patch and dressed up as monkey's for Halloween with our friends from church! Enjoy!

Gobbert's Pumpkin Patch

Why safely walk when you can unsafely jump?

At least they are sitting nicely together!

Ah yes, who doesn't want to relax among the pumpkins!

ROOOOOAAARRRRR....

Mom, Keller and Charlotte...the city almost looks like the country!

Look at me...climbing again!

Charlotte and Tyler...Checking out the cotton candy!

They even had a petting zoo!

I think this pumpkin in just my size!

Steve's Family

We also got a chance to see Steve's family a couple times. Here are some from the big visit this fall!

Keller putting on the CHEESE face!

Charlotte...being Charlotte!

Papaw Keith, Grandma Boggs and Keller...very entertained after a long day!

More Catching Up...

Now...it appears that I have more pictures of Charlotte than Keller. The reason being that Keller is 3 yrs old and right now he thinks that running away from the camera is his best bet!

What happens when you give a 1 yr old an ice cream cone?

Very serious about cooking...very!

Look mom! I CAN do it without out help!
(Don't worry, I was supervising!)

Working on talking...this one is "Hi"

And this is what I get when I say "Smile"

Update...Catching Up!

If you look at our past posts you will notice that I have done a very bad job of keeping up with this blog over the summer and fall. I have had a few hours here and there and have updated it! It looks a little cuter and we've added pictures! I hope to share with you a little more frequently .... I can have goals right!?!

Charlotte Turned 1...In JULY!

We had a joint party with our friend Katherine from church who also turned 1!

Keller helped with the outdoor decor.

Charlotte enjoyed her snack too much to look at the camera.

I mean, she really enjoyed it!
