Halloween

Update: the bouncer has not been the magical cure-all we thought it would be. Okay, we didn't really think it would be. It was more of a flimsy little hope. But Jack is starting to like it and he will entertain himself for 20 minutes or so with it. It doesn't seem to make him tired though. I think he spit up on himself so that's why he's not wearing any clothes in the video.


This weekend we dressed up Jack in his first Halloween costume. We are die hard Harry Potter fans so we thought it would be fun to dress up as Ron and Hermione and have Jack be an owl. Turns out it's really expensive to get full Harry Potter costumes so we just went with the scarves but I think we did a pretty good job at turning Jack into an owl. Notice the letter tied to his leg :)

In other news, our trusty blue Honda Civic named Steve has officially bitten the dust. It wasn't the car's fault. Derek and Jack got into a wreck. They were fine, but the car was not. It's an old car, so it's not worth that much, but it would have lasted us a long time. We replaced it with another Civic that will hopefully last just as long as Steve would have. It's a little older but has the same number of miles, and it runs great. Here's a picture of Steve after the wreck.

That car was supposed to last all the way through medical school and maybe even residency. Hopefully the new one will.

I love love love Fall. It's definitely my favorite season. I think my favorite part is pumpkin desserts. I've made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies 3 or 4 times already, and I can't wait for Thanksgiving to make pumpkin pie. Fall is really beautiful here because of all the trees. I've been having fun taking pictures of Jack in the leaves. He always tries to eat them.
That's what's new with us. Happy Fall everyone!
