October in a nutshell

David, David, David. There is going to be a lot about David in this post, so be prepared.

This month, David seemed to grow so much. He still doesn't walk, but he can reach the kitchen table when he stands, and he LOVES pulling things off of the table and flinging them on the floor. We have to be very careful with what we leave near the edge:

 





As an FRG project, we filled goodie bags with Halloween candy and sent them to soldiers in Afghanistan. I have such a fantastic FRG. Don't they look fun?






This time of year, there are sunflowers everywhere. I had to stop and take a picture of this field because I loved seeing the sunflowers mixed with the beautiful wild flowers. I love Bavaria!






David has discovered the kitchen cabinets. All of my kids have made this discovery at about this age. It's so fun to watch. Not so fun to clean up after he removes everything from the shelves, though:






David has formed a very strong attachment to my good friend Pam. Every time he sees Pam, he fights to get to her. If I'm holding him, he reaches for her. If Pam doesn't pick him up or play with him, he cries like it's the end of the world. I think he's pretty smart. Pam is so much fun!






At a pot-luck dinner for FRG, Joey and Bailey were able to try on a long brunette wig. You tell me. Does it work for either of them?











Joey turned nine this month. I already posted her birthday party here. But on her actual birthday, we still sang and had a little treat. Happy birthday Joey!






Today I spent the afternoon filing and shredding documents. I left the room for maybe twenty seconds, and this is what I found when I came back:

Girls look good with long brunette hair. Love the David pictures. Good thing R&R is in the States so I don't have to compete with Pam for a kid that barely knows me as it is.

Ericks comment choked me up. I can't believe the sacrifice he is making for our country. Especially because he is so close to his kids. He is an amazing guy!! :) I really love the pictures. David is a riot!!
