Happy Halloween!

Halloween couldn't arrive fast enough for Andy. We started the festivities off with pumpkin carving followed by the neighborhood Halloween party. Our little fireman then hit the block for some "Trick or Treating". It will be awhile before the excitement/sugar high wears off!

Cuddling on the Couch

A Busy Fall Day

Today was a busy day for the Cooper family. We started the morning off at a charity run called Abby's Run for the Heart, benefiting research for viral myocarditis. Scott ran and the kids and I cheered him on (while eating our complimentary bagels from Panera).

Next, we made our annual trip south to the Powell Pumpkin Patch to find some pumpkins. We found four great pumpkins, one for each member of the family, and rode the hay rack ride.






Being so far south of town, we made the Louisburg Cider Mill our last stop for their "famous" (locally, anyway) apple cider donuts and fresh cider. Andy enjoyed watching them make both the cider and donuts. The morning was so exciting for Andy (or exhausting) that he fell asleep on the ride home and slept almost 3 hours (I had to wake him up).

Summer Comes to an End

It is football season again. The boys have been making the trip to Manhattan to cheer on the Cats. Andy loves the touchdown train, the band and cheering "KSU Wildcats!".



In September, Scott took Andy to the circus.



Andy is still pretty excited to be a big brother.



We all traveled to Nebraska last weekend to celebrate Ron and Mom's wedding. Andy and Abby had a great time riding in the wagon and splashing in the tub.






Sammy continues to be a very sweet baby who spends her day sleeping, eating and watching her always entertaining brother.
