The Future Doctors Dison

Shelby made the scrubs for Elena a while ago and Dan happened to bring home a pair that was a similar color yesterday. So cute!

4 Months

Kevin had his 4 month checkup on Thursday.
He weighs 16 lbs. 7 oz (80th %) and is 27 1/4 inches long (97th %).
I checked Elena's stats from her past checkups and it turns out that a 4 month old Kevin is the same height and weight as a 12 month old Elena!

Halloween Fun!

I haven't been able to add anything to the blog in a while because I usually write my posts in the evenings, but lately Dan's been going to bed super early (the computer is the bedroom). For the past 2 weeks, he has had to be at the hospital at 5 am everyday. Even on the weekends. He's really enjoying his surgery rotation despite the 14 hour days. There's six more weeks left. It'll be interesting to see what he will specialize in. He has liked most of the rotations that he's had so far - pediatrics and surgery have been his favorites. Anyway - so here are some of the Halloweeny things that we did this month:

We had so much fun visiting the Hymas'. Elena had liked decorating these ghost cookies, and I loved eating them. They're Nutter Butters dipped in white chocolate. Kristin has so many great Halloween ideas.
Looks like Will is enjoying eating them too!The whole family at the pumpkin patch.
Maybe next year, we'll ask someone else to take our picture:
Elena was a BIG fan of the wagons at the pumpkin patch this year.
Dan and I were chatting when we heard, "Yay! I did it!" We turned to see Elena in the back of this wagon about 100 yards away. We didn't even know that she could climb up a ladder and how did we let her get so far away without even noticing? It's not like we have 6 kids - there's only 2 and Kevin can't even move on his own!I love this baby boy! Check out his grumpy little face:
E's pumpkin!
After the carving: Dan's, Emma's, Elena's (she drew it herself). Kevin's was just drawn on, so you can't see it in the glowing pumpkin picture:
Trunk or treat at church:
These cupcakes were awesome! I never found out who made them. The mouth and ears were a cut up marshmallow. The maker even did little teeth in the mouth!
We had dinner at the Jacksons right before Trick or Treating. Kevin was our little elefante this year:
Check out Elena in 2007:
