Papa's Wagon

The other day we went over to B's parents' house. Lee likes to make things out of wood and he had made this wooden wagon a few years ago. He was pulling Edmond around in it and Edmond just loved it.

Here's Edmond and his Grammy.

Today Lee stopped by our house to drop off something. Edmond loves his Papa.

Daddy's Work

B got a new office, this one has an outside window and it's a lot bigger than his old one. So, Edmond and I stopped in to say hello and take a look around.



Here is proof that Daddy actually has work to do:



As you can see, B's Bull Elk got moved to the new office too, and it looks like he's enjoying his window with a view. It makes him feel like he's in his natural habitat.

Edmond Update

Edmond is 8 months old and has all sorts of new tricks. Here are his latest and greatest:

• He's crawling. I love seeing his skinny little bum up in the air as he makes his way around the house.
• He claps his hands and says, "Ah ba ba ba ba ba".
• He has four teeth. Two on the bottom and two on the top...although the two on the top are more like fangs. They are really far apart. We lovingly call him "Fang".
• He stands up in his crib, which has become an issue because he hasn't figured out how to sit back down, so he'll just stand there and cry for hours unless we go lay him back down again.
• He loves his Daddy and freaks out whenever he hears his key opening the front door to come home from work.

Here are some of the things people say to me when they see Edmond:

• "He looks like a cartoon character with those big blue eyes!"
• "He looks like Jack Jack on the Incredibles." (Which is funny because our primary class thinks B looks like Mr. Incredible."
• "Oh, he's such a friendly baby!"
• "I've never seen him cry, he's the happiest baby!" (Ha! He fooled them!)

Edmond and his cousin Carly. She kept trying to touch his face. He didn't really like it.

Apple Hill

We finally made it up to Apple Hill. We've been trying to get up there for about 2 months now. For those of you who don't know, Apple Hill is a place about 1/2 hour away where there are all these apple orchards and you can go buy fresh apples or pick your own. They also sell apple pies, apple donuts, apple strudle, apple butter, carmel apples and all sorts of yummy foods. I got my usual...a corn dog....and apple donuts...and a carmel apple.

We rode up with B's mom and her friend Gerta, and Jared and Amber. It was pouring rain the whole time, but it was nice because there weren't as many people.

The rain didn't bother Edmond at all. I think he liked the feel of it on his face.

Jared and Amber took a few pictures of Edmond. Their photography skills are much better than mine.

One Big Happy (Mexican) Family

I love dressing up in our authentic Mexican costumes for Halloween. We dress up like Mexicans practically every year. When else would we get to wear such sweet ropa? My Grandma went to Mexico about 40 years ago and bought these sombreros and the dress and I think they are awesome. I prance around the house twirling my skirt and singing "La Cucaracha" and passing out Halloween candy. This year Edmond was able to join in the fun.

Eddiemundo and his Abuelo. Andale! Andale!

Edmond Likes to Swang on the Swangs

I took Edmond to the park the other day and I don't know who had more fun, him or me. It was hilarious to watch him squeal as he went back and forth on the swing. I took about 20 pictures and I was tempted to post all of them because they were all so cute...but I settled for just four.
