Happy Halloween!!

School pictures

And so it starts.  My school pictures were always horrendous, except for one my mom says was unusually good.  I don't seem to remember that one.  Click HERE to see a hilarious pic of our firstborn.  He looks like he has a secret.  I'm titling this year the Dennis the Menace photo or is channeling his inner Elvis.   The other proof was worse.  He was sucking in his upper lip.  I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a hard time getting a 5 year old boy to wear a good, natural smile.

Waylon's turned out really well.  You can see it HERE.  She cropped my hand out. :)

Bahama mama (and family)

 We were in the Bahamas for the 2nd week of October.  It was amazing.  We met a couple (Mike and Katie) we know down there who have a one year old son, Gavin (he's 22 months, so almost 2).  The kids all had a great time as did the adults.  We stayed at the Atlantis on Paradise Island.  It's like staying at a water park (no pics of the pools here, too busy swimming/sliding), with a beach and an aquarium.  We were gone for 4 nights/5 days.  On the last day Byron was so exhausted he just wanted to stay inside and play angry birds.   It was time to go home.  A ridiculous number of pictures follow..
