Pieter and the Pumpkin Patch

All summer both in and out of the womb we spent time with Anna and Pieter Caruso. Our darling Cohen was suppose to come AFTER Pieter but Cohen had other ideas. Wonder where he gets that impatience from?!?!?! Pieter lives on a really big farm and had his own pumpkin patch this year. Here are a few pics of Anna and I trying to pose the boys who can't sit up, on gigantic pumpkins. As the pictures show it was quite the photo shoot. Not to mention that when we showed up to visit Pieter he was wearing his Notre Dame onsie and Cohen just happened to be wearing his University of Washington gear. Good things these two are buddies because they also have Steeler/Seahawk gear. Watch out!!!

Cohen was not happy at the last minute loss!!!

Pieter looks just as surprised as we were that Notre Dame won!

Micah Matthew Evans

We are so excited that almost a month ago now Cohen's best buddy and wingman arrived!! Micah Matthew Evans arrived on October 2, 2009 to Kimmy and Matt. We CANNOT wait to meet Micah hopefully in February but for sure in June at his Auntie Ziggy's wedding. Here are a few pics of sweet Micah Matthew. Congrats to the Goeres and Evans family!! Cohen is so excited to hit Disneyland and the beach with his wingman.

Hannibal for Halloween anyone?

When your son is only three months old on his first Halloween it is extremely hard to find a proper costume. Now we could of course go with a pumpkin onsie or a pumpkin hat but why be so boring when he could be.......Hannibal Lecter.


So before anyone decides to call CPS on us understand that we are not as demented as this costume must seem. But believe me if this was your kids new bed you too would have to find some humor in it. Here is the real deal: Cohen has a wicked case of acid reflux and this is the wedge he has to sleep on (ALL THE TIME). It is a huge foam wedge with a little seat, side rails and straps. All of you who are shaking your heads have to admit the striking resemblence to Hannibal. I honestly thought I was real funny making this connection until I went looking for pictures of the actual Hannibal to post along with Cohen and realized how scary Hannibal is and I was about to call CPS myself. But then I just took one look at the Costco size Spray N Wash I just had to buy in order save all the clothes from acid reflux and put down the phone. Plus just look how excited Cohen was an original costume for Halloween and not just another boring 3 month old pumpkin hat/onsie.

The Vans

Finally Cohen fits into his first pair of shoes. I could not be happier that they are Spiccoli Vans straight out of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Thanks Kim and Kelly for hooking Cohen up. Here are a few pics to show off how cute they are.

I must have been looking for something to do because taking pictures of the kids shoes kept my attention for a long time. Here are a few pics of Cohen's guitar outfit and his Spicolli Vans. Hopefully he will love the water as much as Spicolli and love school just a little more than Spicolli.
