The Red Chair...

We have had a slew of visitors over the course of my maternity leave. My mom, Nana was here for almost 2 weeks helping out while I was in the hospital and then the first week we were home. Beba, Cesar's aunt came up for a week to help out and her visit coincided with Hurricane Ike and Cesar long hours. Debbie came to visit for a few days to see her grandsons. My dad, Dooda, came up for Seth's baptism and stayed a few days after. Cesar's Aunt Toni came for a week while he was out of town. We are so blessed to have family that is willing to come and help us. We are so thankful to everyone! I have gotten a picture of everyone (except Toni...somehow I missed getting a picture of her) in the red chair holding Seth. You can't tell in these picture, but somehow the chair acts as a sedative for Seth and for the "holder". I think the first week we were home you could find my mom and Seth in that chair at any given time!

Halloween Pictures...

We went trick-or-treating on our street for Halloween. Noah decided to be Buzz Lightyear again. He vacillated between Spiderman and Buzz, but we couldn't find a Spiderman costume that fit him. Uncle Louie and Edwina came to town and went with us. Noah had a blast and of course loved getting all the candy!

To infinity and beyond...

October Pictures...

A few random shots from October:

Noah is a cool dude...even in the bathroom.

Noah the photographer got a hold of the camera for my closeup shot.

Our boys

I was trying to get a smile out of Seth. He smiles a lot, but doesn't seem to want to do it for the camera.

Trying to capture the smile again!

Another bear shot (we take these monthly so we can see just how much the boys have grown, we did forget to take the 1 month picture with Seth though...bad parents!)

Just the boys again...somehow we seem to have a lot of just the boys!
