David D's 1st Halloween

David's mother gave him his pumpkin for Trick or Treat time! He loved playing with the pumpkin's handle and the tag on the bottom of the pumpkin.

We tried on his costume. He looked so adorable!

We showed him off to neighbor, Danette, & her dog, Winston. David loved having Winston smell and lick him. He was giggling from the licks!

Halloween supper of Chili, rice, and crusted bread. David's 1st time to be included in the "family dinner" photo shoot!

David in his "Doggie" outfit! Isn't he adorable?!

Even has paws for his hands and feet.

Look at that tail!!!!!!

The family all dressed for Trick or Treat!

They came home with some goodies!

10/20/2007: Uof MN Gophers vs NDSU Bison football game

Last Friday one of the doctors at work gave his 2 game tickets to our department. Those interested had their names in a draw and I won the draw! Doug & I had a fun time at the game even if our Gopher team lost. There were over 63,000 other fans at the game so there was alot of cheering. After the game the marching bands from both schools stayed on the field and performed several numbers even if most fans had left. These students then just had fun playing their instruments and dancing. It was fun to watch them interact with each other enjoying their music.

The beautiful USA flag & anthem!

Week of October 15th, 2007 (1st set)

The grandparents with their precious grandson! He has grown so much since

birth and learned so many things. We are so greatful we live close to enjoy times with David D!

David is "blowing" but ends up with alot of wet fingers!

David loves to watch his feet when he kicks...sort of a fascination with this movement.

J, David and I enjoyed some shopping time Monday pm. When we got home these beautiful flowers had arrived for my birthday from my brother and sister-in-law. So spring like on a dreary rainy day! Thank you, J & M!

Over the weekend we winterized our trailer emptying the fluid from all the pipes so they wouldn't burst. We enjoyed 2 nights in the trailer. We enjoy Autumn Woods RV park in Rochester, MN.
Sorry the photos are not in the best sequence!

Wednesday, October 3rd...David D

Today David was very active, "crawling" to places 'beyond'... so many things fascinated him!

the handles on Grandma's desk can go up & down!...

He can scoot across the floor quite well and quickly...
the wood floor feels different than the carpet!

this pillow feels soft but easy to lift!

After all he did in the house we went for a walk in the park...

on a beautiful Minnesota fall day! David took a nice nap!

After helping at church in the afternoon to get ready for the Wednesday evening meal, I took David to meet his mom and they participated in a swim class for infants. It was great to watch his reactions! He seemed to really enjoy himself.
