Busy family weekend

Mr. Blue Eyes:

We had a rough start to our week with a trip to the ER for Brayden... apparently he's still allergic to dairy/milk products, so we are back to avoiding those for the time being! Just had to share a photo from the hospital, can you believe they have hospital gowns for babies?! Thank goodness he was feeling better, because he was just so cute in his gown.

Grandma & Grandpa Gearhart came to visit this past weekend. Below are some video clips from that visit. We had nice weather and always enjoy visits from family!! Here are the biggest Penn State fans around!! hehe...

Mimi came to visit on Monday and we ran errunds all day! We picked out out Halloween costume- pictures to follow soon!! ;-) After a long nap, she read Brayden some stories.

On Thursday, Brayden and mummy drove to Lancaster to visit with Auntie!! We had fun watching Shrek on her big tv, wrecking her rec room and taking a walk down at Muddy Run park! We LOVE our special "auntie time!"

The other day we picked out a few pumpkins to carve... Derek's is almost as big as Brayden!! :)

Here is ONE more pic of Brayden... he's loving the weather and getting outside, and I just can't resist taking tons of pictures of him. I mean, he IS the most ADORABLE thing ever, right?!?!

Brayden G & G

Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins!

The None Such Farm Pumpkin Festival was a blast this weekend! We checked it out with our friends Keith, Suzanne and their son Noah (who is a month and a half younger than Brayden).

Daddy and Brayden picking their favorite pumpkin in the patch:

No! Don't eat that!! :)

Here is Brayden and his buddy Noah on the hayride. KISSES!! He's a lover, not a fighter, I promise!! A disgruntled Noah pushes Brayden away after countless attempts at hugs, kisses, and lets face it.... bullying! :)

What a happy guy! ;)

Fall 08 Begins!

Here's a summer update... a little behind on a few of these pics, but gotta show em off!

My parents and the bean in Charleston, SC (stopped for lunch on our way to Holden Beach)


Derek and Kathrine (Patient of Derek's who is the second time silver medalist of the Olympic Maraton)


And here's our little man... walkin everywhere!

I can't believe it's October already! The fall fun is just about to begin!! :)

Steeler and PSU football games, pumpkins, Halloween, fall leaves and of course, BRAYDEN'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! I know I've said this before, but boy does time fly!!!

Next weekend is the pumpkin festival at None Such Farm in Buckingham. YAY!! Derek just realized today that there won't be a "pumpkin" in/on my belly this year for Halloween, so I thought I'd just reminisce from last year.....lol

Last weekend was Derek's last Triathlon of the season at Hightstown, NJ. Derek coached cousin Josh through his first race! Great job Josh!

Brayden has been walking, walking, walking!!!! He's really on the move now and I have to watch his EVERY move. :) His latest "fun" activity: pulling tissues out of the box, unrolling the toilet paper, unfolding all of mummy's laundry, and throwing diapers all over his room! :)

Brayden LOVES bathtime so much-he just can't get enough of his rubber duckies!
