Indiana Corn
Playing in Nana and Pa's backyard.
This is what they look like when you catch them on game day.
"climbing" a tree
Testing out the new deck that Pa built.
Running, running, running...
The city boy tries to stand up without actually touching the grass.
A smile from Baby James.
Count Dracula's Halloween
The count joins a Halloween parade with Alice the princess and Sam the lumberjack.
Marching in the parade with Mommy and Beth.
"I'm scary!" (or scared of the other kids in masks.)
Then it was onto Aunt Angie's house so we could pass out candy to the trick or treaters with baby James. Unfortunately, the first trick or treater to visit was the scariest kid I've ever seen -- he was dressed in a black hooded robe with a horrible mask and a 5-foot-tall sickle. He was alone and scared Harry to death. From then on, he didn't like Halloween so much....
The count awaits the trick of treaters. (Notice the neighbors' scary horror movie display in the background...)
Dracula breaks for a snack of his favorite Elmo crackers or "El-mo cack."
Why won't Baby James stop crying? (He did not like his costume very much :)

The Boys
Mini-Rob and mini-Lachlan negotiate who is going to drive the car.
Harry will push and Sam will drive.
Whee!
Both wanted to read the truck book, multiple times.
Alice and Harry test out our new alphabet door.
Ella's 24-hour adventure
Ella gave us a bit of a panic last weekend. She snuck out on the back deck while we were out there Saturday night, only we didn't notice. Thus, we shut the door and locked her out overnight. Because she spends most of her day sleeping in various hiding places, we didn't discover our mistake until the next afternoon. Then, we were frantic. She's never really been outside and for those of you who have met her, you know she can be a bit neurotic. We organized a search party (of Frank & Nicki-- Thanks guys!), plastered the neighborhood with flyers and visited the animal shelter. Harry joined in the search yelling "El! El!" from his stroller. About 10:30 p.m. Sunday night, our neighbor knocked on our back door, and in ran Ella. He found her in his grill. Have no idea how she got in there. But she's back, phew.
Aunt Steph and Uncle Joe Get Hitched
"@#$%^&*! paparazzi!"
He did it! Harry walked all the way down the aisle and fulfilled his ringbearer duties. Luckily he was starstruck by the other 4-year-old ringbearer. So when the 4-year-old said "Take my hand, Harry" he did and the two walked all the way down the long, long church aisle. CUTEST THING EVER! Rob and I were both in the wedding so we were unable to take photos, but I'll post some as soon as we get them.
The bride waits in Mom's car outside the church.
Mr. & Mrs. N.
Mr. Harrison waits patiently for his dinner. He made it until the first dance. After that, he marched to the exit and said "All done! Bye-Bye!"
My handsome boys.
Harry is hours past his bedtime and hyped up on cake in this family photo.
