Hotdogs and Hammerheads: Halloween

Here are a few Halloween photos of H and J, aka Hotdog and Hammerhead. They had a really great time. Hotdog pulled that rolling suitcase all through the neighborhood to collect candy! Afterwards the adults ate chilli a la Dellwood Dr. There are many funny, cute pictures from the day. I'll post more tomorrow. Stay tuned. Big J says that Hotdog will hate me when she gets older. I wonder if I can use a glue gun to create something more mainstream, like a princess outfit.

Spiders and Pumpkins


Yesterday J came home with his first homework assignment. He could draw a spider, learn a fact about spiders or catch a spider and bring it to class. Guess which of the options J picked. This morning before school, J & J spider catchers went on assignment. Success! (The photo is an afternoon dramatization of the morning's work.) I told J's teacher, Mrs Knox, she was one brave educator. J was excited because his "spider got to be the class spider." We've had two days of amazing Fall weather, so we've been to the park. Today, I took their little pumpkins and staged some Fall photos. You can see more photos from the past two days at: www.flickr/photos/hillcphotography

Zoo Babies and Toddlers


We went to the zoo with the D family last weekend. There were lots of fun places to sit--the Eagle's Nest, the John Deere, and on the ledge in the ampitheater. We did NOT buy that Elephant Ear for Baby H. She stared down some guy until he gave her some of his. She is very resourceful when it comes to getting treats.

Mud Puddles

The rainy season, all six months, has officially arrived. J shows H how to have fun in the rain, but she discovered the puddle all by herself. If only I could find some rain boat in her size...

Some September Photos

A dry Fall day in Oregon--Sept 22nd to be exact. H sports her new boots, runs away from brudder and enjoys being held by neighbor C. It's a hard day's work being a baby.
