Conferences, Doctors, 6 Month Appt, & the Pumpkin Patch

We have had a very busy week around here. I had conferences last week and met with many of my wonderful families. It was so nice to see the parent and child interactions and to get to know my families better. In the middle of this, Peter has had a bad cough and Carlie got it too. Not good. Carlie sounded like a barking seal. We luckily were able to take her and Peter to the doctor together in between my conferences on Thursday afternoon. Carlie weighed in at 20 lbs. 1 oz. Luckily it was just a cough for both of them and nothing more.

Friday, I had no school but I did have a few appointments. First I headed off to the Department of Licensing to get an Enhanced Driver's License. This license will allow me to go to Chanda without a passport. It is pretty cool. Rob has the interview for it in a few weeks. After that, Carlie had her 6 month appointment. She weighed in there (a different scale then the day before) at 19lbs 5 oz. and 38.75 inches. We don't know which weight to say for her 6 month weight. She looks great and was at the skill set of a 6.5 or 7 month baby. The shots have been our issue though. They really seem to be effecting her this time.

Saturday, we headed off to the pumpkin patch for Carlie's 6 month photos. We met with Stacy Jacobsen who is a local photographer. She photographed my friend Britnee's wedding and did an amazing job. Stacy has a neat way of doing photography called the Mini Session that is on location. So we met her at Spooner's Farm. We had a great time and I can't wait to see the photos that she took. After the photo session, Carlie was exhausted so I didn't get many pictures of her but Peter was ready for more photos.

Peter and his pumpkin. It only took Peter a few minutes to chose this one. It was 37lbs. and Peter is only 39lbs.

Peter and the spider. Enlarge it and check out Peter's face in this picture. It is too funny.

Look! There is actually a photo of me with my kids!!

Me and my girl. You can tell how tired she is in this photo.

Carlie crashed out in the car. She was so tired but she kept haning on to her doll.

After long naps, we headed out to Stephanie's house for Owen's 3rd birthday. Peter was a little shy with all of the other kids but warmed up after a bit. He had a wonderful time with eating home made pizza and then a full cupcake, frosting included.

Today is a day of getting things done. We are off the pumpking patch again. Me with my students on the 30th to Spooner's again. Peter and Rob are going to go with his daycare to Terry's Berries on the 22nd. Can you tell we love the pumpkin patch.
