Basil, Bike Rides, and Baking!

Jonah and I have been doing some planting lately. Here he is next to our basil plants. We planted the seeds together, and in 5 days the first leaves poked through the soil. We check the basil plant every morning, and Jonah gets to water it! Yesterday we planted parsley and green beans, so when they sprout we'll get them on the blog too.



Last week we went to Oktoberfest here in the towncenter, and it was a lot of fun! Caleb got to ride around in the stroller, which he loves.



We stopped by a nearby bench, and Jonah got to take a rest.


Smoothie time!

Jonah picked out his pumpkin.


He kept changing his mind, so eventually I had to step in and help him pick!
Then he got to decorate the pumpkin with his daddy. Nick Thomm was here too, so he joined in the fun.


It was fun having Nick here!


We didn't waste anytime. We carved the pumpkins the same night.


Of course, pulling out the insides was a hit for Jonah!


I carved the face in the big pumpkin.


Finished product.




He's into wearing his dad's ties lately. He loves looking in the mirror in the hallway when he has one on.


We've been looking for a used bike trailer for a long time now, and we finally came across a good brand, in excellent condition. We snatched it right away. Luke's been taking Jonah in it almost every day right after work.


"Uncle Tom and Auntie Maria, I just want you to know that I still love my giraffe."

"A lot."


Jonah and I have been baking cupcakes almost weekly... then we send them up to Luke's office for all the student workers around there. Here are the ones we made this week.



The boys sure have fun together.


A couple videos...




This was just a couple days ago!
