November Update

Taking a fall walk on the trail overlooking the Fox River. Enjoying the warm sun while it lasts. Papa Weiss and I setting up the faux foam on the Halloween Cauldron. Greyson watching Cars before school. It was really difficult to leave that morning. Vacuuming the reading room - what a mess! I think we were looking for Jake on the trail in this picture. Trying to get Greyson to look at the camera is a bit of a challenge in case you haven't noticed. Oma Weiss with Celia the Monkey on Halloween Night at the Spooktacular Stark House. Papa (Woody the Cowboy from Toy Story) and Oma (the happy clown) on Halloween Night. Chasing after Greyson the Dragon who wanted to explore the neighborhood that is Enderis Park. Greyson the Dragon in action. It's a miracle we got him into this costume after his initial meltdown earlier in the evening. Papa Weiss securing Grey's dragon head on for a miraculous three seconds (and a picture too)! Celia walking with her purple glow stick.Fall afternoon playing in the leaves at Grandma and Papa Mac's house. Greyson chasing Scotch around the yard. Teething again. A great smile from Papa Mac as he proudly displays Riley, Greyson's Class Koala. Riley, Grandma Mac and me posing for the camera while Greyson looks off in the distance at Jake, Dad or Scotch. Coloring with markers. Greyson wearing his big boy underwear after using the potty for the first time. Jake and Greyson setting up the video camera to record a recent snowfall. I think this face means I like the shoes but don't take a picture of me in my diaper. Playing in the leaf pile at Grandma and Papa Mac's house. Family photo = rare occurrence. Painting at breakfast? Daddy is so much fun! More painting at breakfast. Greyson's big boy bed, unveiled. Washing our hands after using the potty (this photo was meant to follow the potty success picture above). Greyson literally wearing his badge of potty success - a truck sticker. Greyson asking Papa nicely for more m&m's. Greyson in the middle of saying please for yet more m&m's. Watching either Papa, Jake or Scotch from Oma & Papa Weiss' storm door in West Bend. Celia & Greyson playing with trucks together at Oma & Papa Weiss' House. Celia looking cute as ever on the celebration of her first birthday. First photo of the trucks Greyson stacked on the floor in our living room. Me shoveling outside after an unexpected snowfall. One of Greyson's favorite things to do is jump on our bed. We're probably bad parents for letting him, but honestly, who can resist such fun? Celia's birthday celebration in which she briefly wore the monkey hat Oma Weiss and Jake made for her. Celia posing so sweetly on Stacey's lap. I believe this was the point in which she crashed after the sugar buzz wore off from her birthday cake. Greyson on any random day, climbing me like I am a jungle gym. Our "White Christmas" Tree. Decorating the tree. Random lamp photo Jake captured. We leave you with more trucks Greyson stacked. Until next time....

10.19.08 - A quick update

Here's a preview of Greyson's Halloween costume. If you can't tell based on the above picture, he's going to be a dragon. Cuddling before bedtime. Greyson's pretty proud in this picture because he was able to refine the art of sitting on his art stool all by himself. Laughing in his rocking chair shortly before bedtime. Enjoying balloons with Oma Weiss in preparation for Auntie Stacey's Birthday celebration in West Bend. Somehow the balloons escaped outside and Greyson was having fun chasing after them and scooping them up in his arms. Here he's captured a wandering yellow balloon. Grey's facial expression is quite strange, but he's showing Jake rocks from Oma & Papa Weiss' driveway. I believe these images are in reverse order. Walking with Papa Weiss to look at the construction trucks. Almost to the excavator near Papa & Oma Weiss' house. A bit of perspective on size. Oma & Papa Weiss watching Greyson play at the park. Swinging at the park. A brief hug before returning to the playground. Greyson likes the feeling of sand in his hands, but NOT in his shoes. A shot of Stacey's Birthday Cupcakes. Another view of the birthday cupcakes and decorations in the background. Classic Matt. Stacey & Celia enjoying the sweet cupcake goodness. Right for the frosting. That's my niece! I'm not sure what this look was in reference to but somebody looks like they're in trouble! Celia crashing with Matt after her sugar rush. Greyson and Amelia playing together at her third birthday party (hosted at Monkey Joe's in Appleton). Greyson enjoying the SUV Ride for just a quarter - score! Series of impromptu pictures Jake took of Mom Weiss. I must say they are quite beautiful shots! Just a quick video I threw together. Enjoy.
