Miles and I watching the parade go by. The festivities had everything he could want: horses, marching bands, fire trucks, army trucks, Ford trucks . . . 
Miles checking out his new car. He's crazy about trying to move the thing while watching the wheels roll. He hasn't quite gotten the knack for it b/c he'll hop on and off trying to get it to keep moving.
Yes, that's Miles underneath the kangaroo. Whenever he saw that costume in his closet he'd start hopping - but, of course on the big day, he got shy and wouldn't hop for us. It's ok - I didn't even think he'd wear the thing!
The cuddly koala is Miles' friend Lillian. They make a great match :)
Luke had jaw surgery on the 30th so he didn't get to participate in our festivities. I'm not posting a picture of him b/c he's asked me not to, but our neighbors were sure he was in costume with all the bandages around his head - poor guy. He's got his jaw wired shut for the next 4-6 weeks! It will all be worth it!
Every little boy has to have his own stash of teeth rotting treats. Miles didn't have to carry around a bag to fill b/c it all fit in his pouch :)
Miles persuaded his cousin Ellyce to do the boy thing for a day and join him in playing with trucks and dirt. She is 6 weeks older than him.
Me with my new little niece, Jillian. Jillian was born on October 13th - one day before my birthday and on the anniversary of my father's death. It's almost like she just left her granddad's side to give us something to celebrate on that day. She's gorgeous! Way to go Nathan and Cindy on your 3rd girl :)
Luke and Miles having a good look at his new little cousin.
Jillian snoozing on the couch.Miles discovered a great hiding place in the guest bedroom. I guess I should mention that the reason for him not wearing any shorts in a lot of his photos is because he's potty training. It's much quicker to get to the potty if you have less clothes on. So we've let him run around in his underwear for the last couple of weeks :)
