Lucas' First Halloween

While it's not quite Halloween, Lucas celebrated in grand fashion with his Willows Family including Karen's 4th grade students, Elvira and, of course, Phoebe. Lucas looked splendid in his first ever Halloween costume: a pea pod (Thanks, Sarah!)

'Tis the Season

Pumpkin season, that is!

The Dean Family ventured to Moorpark with Sarah, Sam, Alex, Mike and Phoebe last weekend to take in the sights and sounds of Underwood Family Farms. We frolicked in the corn maze, listened to some sweet banjo music, watched some pig races, rode the Cow Train, saw Tori Spelling, and more! It was a jam packed day that ended with us wanting more but being too tired to do so. Some highlights in pictures:

Bonus Picture of the Week: "Shower Time!"

Let's Get Out of the Apartment!

We had a few days of rain last week, but this weekend we took advantage of the weather and got some fresh air. Lately, we've been taking Lucas to a nearby park. It's filled with kids and ducks! Lucas especially loves the swing (only this time he rode alone, without his friend Sam).

Bonus Photo #1: This is Mommy and Lucas after one of Lucas's showers. Yep, that's right. Lately, he's been more into showers than baths. Much less prep time for the parents, too.

Bonus Photo #2: This is Lucas showing off his new favorite outfit for the Fall. Now if we could only get him to stop squinting with the flash.

Next week: The trip to the pumpkin patch! We're thinking about bringing the camera...
