Happy Halloween!

Boo! Boo! Boo!
Happy Halloween from the Gies family. You can figure out which pumpkin belongs to which family member.

Jason and I carved pumpkins last night with no help from Logan or Lucy. Logan kept wanting to empty to garbage can and Lucy was eating the pumpkin guts that hit the floor.

This is Logan's costume. He is one very cute little chicken boy. We have been working on walking down the street so we don't have to crawl! Check out Logan's blog to see more picture of him.

Here's what's up with us.

Well, we have been pretty busy lately. Logan is walking now and he is keeping us pretty busy. Having him walking is fun because he can get around when we are out without crawling on the ground. He still wants to crawl on the floor at the mall and the library (much to my chagrin) but he is getting better at walking all over. He attempted to escape from our little class at the library on Thursday, but I am still faster! Yesterday went for a walk and Logan walked for two houses (with a lot of falling down in between.) He has got to get better than that before Halloween, but I think he will be okay. He loves to run around the nursery at church. He loves going there now. For awhile he wasn't quite sure, but he is fine with going now. Jason has been working hard and has been taking some training classes this week at work. I have been keeping busy cooking and running errands. I have been looking for some students to tutor as well. All in all, we are having a fabulous fall!

"Best friends" Logan and Lucy. I don't think they could get any farther apart for the picture.
Here is Logan sitting with our pumpkins and our corn stalks.
Here is our house offically decked out for Halloween. Notice the silhouettes in the front window as well as the crazy "demon-eyed" dog.
I had some time a few weeks ago so I painted part of Logan's room. I still have two more walls to do but I finished the fish in the tree wall. I also wrote the saying around the top of the wall. It says, "Today is gone. Today is done. Tomorrow is another one. Everyday from here to there, funny things are everywhere."

A Visit From Em

This post is a little late, but better late then never, right? Emily came to visit last weekend and we had a great time. On Friday we hung out, watched TV, and went to the mall. On Saturday my parents, who were also in town, came and picked up Logan. Jason, Emily, and I went downtown. Em hadn't been downtown in a long time so we gave her the tour.We are standing in Millennium Park looking at some of the skyscrapers.
This is the Trump building that Bill Rancic is working on. They will be opening up the lower portion before the top is finished.
