Happy Hallowling, Mann!

Happy Halloween! Allison was a fairy princess. (Her costume lit up with red lights with the push of a button) Drew was Buzz Lightyear. (The whole day everyone called him Buzz - he was starting to think that he really was Buzz) Jeremy was a monkey. (Although, he was called a dog, bear, lion more often than a monkey.) Tyler was the famous Lingmann Blue Monster. (This costume was worn by each of our kids when they were babies. Gotta keep up the tradition!)

Boo-oo-oo! Jack O'Lanterns are we!


We carved pumpkins for Family Home Evening. The kids actually were able to help this year, especially with getting all the nasty goopey stuff out, which I loved. Alli and Drew also helped poke the patterns into the pumpkins.

Chad's pumpkin was the Ickabod Flaming head, Mine was Bones the Skeleton, Drew's was the happy face, Alli picked the cat and Jeremy's was the ghost. Tyler's pumpkin was rotten and couldn't be carved... so we just put another pumpkin out that Alli had decorated on the outside for his. (We used our new camera's night shot mode. Glow pumpkins, glow!)

Baby Boy, You Stay on My Mind

We love our baby brother Tyler!


Drew loves to hold his new baby brother. He always asks to hold him and it is so sweet! Jeremy says one of his few words everytime he sees Tyler: "Hi, Tyler!" in a high pitched voice, while petting him softly. Alli picked up Tyler just the other day without me knowing, and swears she is big enough to hold him and walk around with him by herself. (I freaked out a little inside when I saw her but Tyler did not sustain any permanant damage! :)

With A "Will"ing Heart!


A week ago, Chad and I's only nephew, William moved to Texas. We are so sad and we miss him. Jeremy and Will were born only 6 weeks apart. We will miss watching him grow but hopefully we can visit soon or he can come see us! We love you Will! Here are some fun pictures we took with him (in navy blue shirt) when he came to visit us!

Pumpkin, You're Hollow Within



Chad graciously took Alli and Drew to Pack's Pumpkin Patch (where Drew's fieldtrip group went this month.) They had a fun kids hay corn maze, huge pumpkin patch, "scarecrow" picture gallery, and they got to pick their own pumpkin to take home!
