Trick or Treat

Jacob -

Happy Halloween! What a day you've had. This morning, you accompanied your uncle Jim and me to the gym. (Jim's in town for the weekend and you've been having a great time hanging out with him.) Afterward, you got dressed in your halloween custom and hung out with other West Hartford kids at a Halloween gathering replete with Firetrucks and Balloons. A quick nap was all your busy schedule would allow for, because you were soon off to a fun walk in the park and play on the playground, followed by trick-or-treating with Rahul's family. Although at first you were more confused than excited, you soon got the hang of things. You remained too polite to dig into the piles of candy offered up, but when handed an item you were more than happy to oblige. You topped off the night with a visit to the hospital to hang with Dr. Mom, who unfortunately was stuck doing a 25 hour shift (thanks to the end of day-light-savings). Too tired to eat dinner (for the first time ever, I think), you promptly passed-out as soon as your head hit the pillow. Love,
Dad p.s. Your forgetful dad forget to bring the camera to trick-or-treat time, but tomorrow perhaps we'll get a few more T-I-double-G-"erh" shots posted to this here interwebsite.
Later dude.

Here is a picture from last weekend when you and your mom carved a jac-o'-lantern. You really liked making a mess with the pumpkin guts!

Pumpkin Patch

Jacob,
Today we went to the pumpkin patch in Avon, CT. You really liked riding on the hay ride! The tractor dropped us off at a spot where you helped your mom choose a couple of pumpkins for us to carve tomorrow while I took copious pictures. On our way out, you tried some apple cider and thought it was delicious. Click the photo for more pictures.
