Air show!

One of the best things about living in a city with military installations are the events they host throughout the year. Living in a city that has 4 military installations means the events are huge. For a child that loves planes the Air Show today was a huge blast! As soon as he got off the shuttle Jeremiah performed his Air show dance. This includes acting like a fanatic, dancing around and repeatedly screaming "Air show!" He liked looking at the jets but he did not like how loud they were so he wore his earplugs. He went in a couple of airplanes and went into the cockpit of the T-1 (a trainer plane) by himself. Do we possibly have a future pilot on our hands? Only time will tell. Of course he came home with a lot of military knick knacks and a very cool Thunderbird jet. Thanks Grammy and Papoo!

Looking at the model airplanes and looking cool!

Frozen Bagels

Annalise is teething and drooling. She already as her two bottom teeth and I think she is working on her third and fourth at the same time. She doesn't complain about her teeth but if she is not sleeping she is drooling. I did not know one child could create so much drool. I seriously think I go through at least 10 bibs a day, supposedly these bibs are waterproof but within a 1/2 hour Annalise has soaked one and her top is getting wet. I really did not want to give Anna a teething ring, especially with all the recent headlines concerning BPA in plastics. I read that a frozen bagel is a good soother. Annalise really loved it, she loved it so much that she worked on that bagel until she was able to get pieces off. Of course, she's a little young to be eating bagels so we will have to think of something else.

Trick or Treat

It seems like yesterday that Jeremiah was dressed as a lion and his only way of mobility was rolling around. Now Annalise is the roller in the family. We decided against putting her in a puffy costume in the Texas heat. Instead she hung out with Mom and Grammy (Brians parents are out here visiting) and handed out candy until her bed time.

Ready for trick or treating!

Waiting for trick or treating to start!

Jeremiah, Brian, and Papoo trick or treated around the block. This year Jeremiah wanted to be a knight. He was really excited when we found his "good" knight costume. He had to make sure it was not a "bad" knight costume.

On Guard!

Its funny to think back to Jeremiahs first birthday and how he disliked his sweet birthday cake. I would still say he prefers salty and pickled flavors but he definitely has developed his sweet tooth for chocolate and starbursts. If you ask him what candy he likes he will tell you M&M's and starbursts. He had sweettarts not too long ago and really doesnt like them. A neighbor handed him sweettarts while he was trick or treating and he gave them back to her and said "No, I do not like sweettarts!" Luckily for him, she let him choose something else. Jeremiah had a great time and when he came home mom, dad, grammy, and papoo made sure the candy was safe to eat, meaning no nuts and no suspicious candy. I am also glad to say that he loved handing out candy too. As he was getting ready for bed we had quite a few trick or treaters and well lets just say Jeremiah gave each trick or treater two heaping handfuls.

A Knight in Shining Armor! (oops where are your shoes)
