Picnic In the Park





We worked up an appetite at the Pumpkin patch so
we topped off our Halloween weekend festivities with a picnic in the park!






















We started out with baby food but quickly went for the pitas and hummus...yum!

















Getting VERY close to walking!!
















But crawling is still faster!

Hanging out with Bowen





We stopped by to visit and have lunch with Aunt Christina and Bowen (Brody was napping)





















Bowen had raisins for a snack and Gus had the box...yum











Yum...

Yum!!

Photo Shoot



Gus had his first professional photo shoot thanks to Auntie Christina who won it when she entered us into a contest put on by the woman that did our wedding photos.


Her name is Karen Kane and her photo's are beautiful. You can check out her work at www.karenkanephotography.com








Karen was wonderful with Gus and has to be one of the most patient people I've ever seen!!
