World Series Champs

We were at my parents' house watching the World Series Parade for the PHILLIES . . . I got into the spirit and took some photos of Liam celebrating their first World Series Victory in both of our lifetimes . . .

I keep telling him how BIG of a deal this is, but I don't think he understand . . .yet.What a trooper.

Trick or Treat

Liam started off very excited to go Trick or Treating (as you can tell by the look on his face). . . We met up with his neighborhood friends for a photo and then headed over to Grandma Scallon's . . .

Liam's Aunt Cate and his cousins Rachel (Cinderella) and Maggie (the cutest pumpkin ever!) came down from Maine and we went Trick or Treating together . . .

We made it to 2 houses and Liam was wiped out . . .

He woke up when we were almost back at Grandma's to smile with Daddy . . .

and of course Mommy had to get in on the love!

Maybe next year he'll make it to 3 houses.

Today Grandmom Murray is bringing him to MonDon so he can meet my students!

Happy Halloween - parade tonight. . . we'll see how he does with the drums from the bands.

Uncle Brian's Wedding . . .

Tonight was our friend Brian's wedding. Liam came with me to the church since Casey was one of the groomsmen. He got to wear his sweater vest and was very excited about it.

Then Grandmom Murray came over to watch him while we were at the reception in Spring Lake. Grandmom said he was very good while we were gone . . .

I don't think she'd tell us even if he wasn't good.Here's the newly married couple . . .
. . . and Casey and me at the reception

Happy Harvest

It started to get a little warmer out this afternoon so I brought Liam outside for some fresh air and photo taking. He definitely knows that when the camera is out we want him to smile, and he has no problem hamming it up. His Halloween shirt is from Grandma Scallon and Winnie the Pooh is from girls on my swim team. He's all set for Trick-or-Treat!

(the hat is a preview of his Halloween costume - you'll have to wait in anticpation for the real thing)

Look Who's Driving

We had Sunday dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Scallon's and Liam sat in the car they have there. I think it was his cousin Eamon's who is 9 years old now, so it's holding up pretty well. (We'll see how much damage Liam does to it). He sat in it all through dinner and was well occupied with the heel of the bread. We went to the mall today and bought him real sneakers since it's getting too cold out to just be in socks, and a winter coat. I miss summer!

Party Animal

Last night my friend Denise had a girls night "wine and cheese" party at her house. Since Liam is not a fan of being away from Mom between 7 and 9 pm, I brought him with me in his pajamas. He loved all the attention he got from the girls. Here he is with Janice and Katie . . .

If this doesn't look like someone ready to party I don't know what does . . .
He fell asleep at 9pm and slept on the couch at the party, then he actually slept in the car on the 2 minute ride home, and slept through the night for the first time in a long time!

Dinner Table Antics . . .

Liam thinks that everything he sees should be his - including our water glasses. . . He can make it in his highchair through the first half of dinner and then gets a little restless. I was trying to hold him on my lap and drink my water, but before I could take a sip, these two tiny hands grabbed for the glass. It's funny that he seems to know how to drink like a big kid already. . .

. . . he also tries to grab plates, silverware, anything on the table that he isn't supposed to have, and he's got quite the grip.

Enjoy the rest of the week!
