Hugh Arabesque

To understand this post, you first need to watch a bit of Lindsey Stirling. She plays violin and dances at the same time:

We realized that Hugh was mimicking her with his "violin" (two building blocks), while dancing to "Old McDonald had a Farm." John David is kind if embarrassed  but here's the video anyway:

A friend from our ward took these pictures for us.  They turned out awesome.

Trick-or-Treating

For those who grew up trick-or-treating the idea is not novel.  However, John David did not grow up doing this so this is the first year John David could legitimately go.  He took Hugh who finally caught on at the end that he got something.  Apparently he would squeal because he knew something was coming.  John David was scared at first to go to doors but got the hang of it (he thought no one would have candy).  Hugh enjoyed himself too!

The office at our complex did some treats and balloons for the kids

Picking Raspberries and September Misc.

Hugh ate so many raspberries, including the stems.

This watermelon is about 30 lbs., we got it from the same place where we picked raspberries.

This is what happens when I let John David cook.  This is dutch coco from Oma that made a huge mess of fine powder all over.

Hugh at a friends birthday party.  He actually tried to eat everyones cupcake in addition to his own.

Anniversary flowers from John David.

We go and watch the sunset from a parking garage near us.

Hugh frequently falls out of bed and this is him asleep on the floor.
