Halloween Party

Decorating their mini pumpkins.

We did "pin the pieces on the pumpkin" and the kids did great! They each were responsible for pinning a jack-o-lantern part onto the pumpkin, and this is what we got!

Evan Has Arrived!

Hey Cute Stuff.

Our little princesses, Avarelli and Caileena (spelling??)

Are we at the zoo? What kind of Critters are kept in this house? Don't worry, it's just Evan in his "protect me from crazy kids and their toys being thrown in my pack-n-play when Danielle goes upstairs" contraption.

C.J., Chance, Cailyn, Avery and Neveah love having Evan around, and do a nice job not smothering him with all of their love and affection. C.J. likes being the helper, and even put the burp cloth over his shoulder so he could feel like a big kid.

Whose Critters are These?

These two little critters found Brandon one morning while he was mowing, and followed him up to the deck for some breakfast. He said they just came trotting down the street and up to him like they belonged to him.

When I came outside all they wanted to do was bite me and jump on me, but they sure did love Brandon.

They didn't want him going back into the house. Looks like they'll make good guard dogs for someone!

Sorry pups...
(The Animal Shelter came and picked them up, so I'm assuming they're probably adopted by now.)

The ultra sound picture was taken around 21 weeks and the belly picture was at 26 weeks. The kids are so excited to have babies hanging around Ritter's Critters. They can't wait for "Baby Evan" and they're all talking about "Baby Boots". They like to give my stomach kisses and say, "wake up Baby Boots; come out and play"! C.J. is adamant that it's a boy and the rest of them, when asked if they think it's a boy or girl, say "it's Baby Boots".

Baby Evan

Little Evan got to spend the day with Avery and Cailyn at Ritter's Critters, and slept most of the time! He will become an official Ritter Critter on October 26th, and while Mom is a bit sad to go back to work, I am ecstatic! The kids are excited to have him everyday too (especially since I told C.J. that the week Evan starts coming, is the week we have our Halloween Party)!

Why won't this work?!

I'm trying, really I am, to update the blog, but it's not cooperating with me this morning, so hopefully by this weekend you can have some fresh pictures!
