gav's 1st halloween!!!!

hanging out at the pumpkin patch! i think the highlight for gav was twirling his feet around in the sawdust... :)



showing his different faces!


prepping to be a dalmatian!

trying to get some pix of gav and his friends kian and avril at valeria's house. (his awesome babysitter!)
he decided no more pix. reading was much more important!


clownin' around.... total photo-op! tradition here. this clown costume comes through a long line of kids! it's been worn by brennan, lauren, evan, allie, meghan and anna. (all of mark's nieces and nephews) i think that it's almost 14 years old now?!? good thing he only had it one for a few minutes, he was about to bust out of it!


getting ready for the night! (rapidly approaching sleepy-time!)



he's out! our little dalmatian lasted for about 20 minutes.... (ps, blanket by grandma jo!)


our little family.... (minus the doggies... they were at home handing out candy with grandma jo). can you see him all nestled in there?

fun times with gav!

rockin' out in his exersaucer!


lotsa kisses from karson!

6 months! already???

wow... i can't believe this is here!!!! he is getting so big! at 6 months, gav weighs 18.4 lbs and is 27" inches long. he's loving his fruits and veggies!(tonight he had his first bananas.) gav is a super social lil' guy, loves to talk and laugh! for those of you who see him often, he's still twirling those little toes constantly!

gav's 2nd vacation!!!

Last week we ventured back east to Maryland. While we were there, we saw our nation's capitol, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Smithsonian, the National Museum of Space and Science and Mount Vernon. Last, but not least, Gav saw his 1st motocross race; the "Motocross of Nations". This race was considered to be the "Olympics of Motorcross" and a MUST-SEE for Mark and Gavin...

packing for the trip...


gav's 1st glimpse at star wars!
