First Snow!

Very rarely have I seen Benjamin as excited as he was this morning when he woke up and saw the snow. He jumped around the house and kept asking if he could go outside and play after breakfast (then he tried to negotiate with me: wondering if he could go outside while I cooked breakfast). He ate three bites and was bundled up and out there before 8am. He's still out there almost 2 hours later. Little brother is just waking up from a nap and will soon be bundled up and outside for the first snow of the year. :) Happy times for little Jewett Boys.

Jewett Family Photos

We had our first family photo session this Fall! You can check out some of our photos on Deb's blog site-- this is our "sneak peek". I encourage you ALL to comment on Deb's site about our photos: tell us which ones are your favorites. Deb is running a promotional deal for her October clients (Jewetts included!), and the more people that comment on her blog site, the closer we are to earning a few free photo prints. Please, comment and let us know what you think. Each day my favorite changes, but I do love the black and white of Ben w/the mushroom, and Spencer playing peek-a-boo is pretty sweet. :) Check it out and leave a comment on Deb's blog site. Thanks for your help... We have until November 19th to collect comments.

Halloween

Here is Ben (AKA Optimus Prime) at his cousins' house just before heading out to Trick-or-Treat. Man, it was COLD Halloween night. Ben had a great time and Spencer hung out at cousins' house with Nana & Pops...
Earlier in the day Ben and Spencer helped me carve a pumpkin...

Both boys have been doing well this Fall, though Spencer is just getting over a sinus infection that had him feverish and down-and-out for almost a week. We finally took him to the doctor on Friday and now that he's on antibiotics seems to be feeling better. Poor guy was not a happy camper for quite a while. Ben had a cold, but other than the runny nose and cough at night, he didn't let it slow him down at all.
