Day 178, December 1st 2009

























I wear him on my back quite a bit now because he is so big (20 lbs) and likes to grab things. Usually he falls asleep back there.
Jaren (age 7) took this picture for me.

Jadon's first Thanksgiving day. He is with his Great Aunt Jeanine. We had dinner at my cousin Melissa and her husband Adam's new home in Gresham.

Day 172, November 25th 2009







































Jolie entertaining Jadon. About once a day I set the timer and have each of the 3 older kids watch Jadon for me for 10 minute increments to give me a small break. Jadon loves it when his brother and sisters play with him.

Day 147, October 31st, 2009








































































Jadon's first Halloween. Yes, he's a frog. I was going to have him be my black cat, but I was too lazy to make a costume and the only one I could find had pink ears and a pink bow, nope, not for a boy. So, we found this frog costume. He didn't seem to mind wearing it to a party, trunk-or-treating and trick or treating around our neighborhood.

Day 146, October 30th, 2009




































The kids were begging me to get them pumpkins. Finally today Jaren, Jadon and I went on our date to the pumpkin patch and picked out 4 good ones. The kids weren't too thrilled about the pumpkin slime, but did like the seeds. Jenea and Jaren carved part of their own, I carved Jolie's and Jude's. It was fun! We lite them up and put them out on the front porch.
