Halloween Fun

Halloween Costumes 

Here is a picture of us at church today. We were asked to dress up for the service although I spent most of it preparing food in the kitchen for the pot luck after the service. Liam was dressed up as a monkey, Ahmie was dressed up as a tree, and I was dressed up as the scariest thing I can think of ... (gasp) ... a ... Republican. It was so scary I could not bear to wear the home made button saying (Bush,Cheney 04) although if you read carefully it also said www.factcheck.com underneath.

The explanation is this, Liam is a monkey. Ahmie is a tree that nourishes the monkey, in fact the costume has a flap that allows Liam access to breastfeed. I am a republican who is interested in having the tree chopped down because Ahmie is an old growth tree, and am willing to allow it to be chopped down for pennies with no thought about the consequences. Scary huh.

This evening Ahmie, Liam and I went trick or treating unfortunately the pictures did not come out right. We walked around our street and trick or treated with Liam in my arms. Afterwards I manned the porch and gave candy to the neighborhood trick or treaters.

Liam is 5 months old today

Liam turned 5 months old today. After work this afternoon Ahmie, Liam and I went walking around Big Creek Park to enjoy a fleeting fall afternoon. Ahmie wanted to take some pictures of the park trails with the flaming foilage.

While walking around to find the paved walking path Ahmie took the picture above. He has grown so much in these five short months.

Been too lazy to blog lately.

I have been very busy with my new position as House Manager at Royalton House and have been pulling average 50 hour weeks the past three weeks. So between all that work and the kingdom of loathing, I have been a little too lazy to write enteries.

But here are some pictures of Liam from the past 4 months, enjoy.

I like trees.

I like trees. 

Here is a picture of Liam behind a tree at church two weeks ago. Ahmie did not want to take a generic picure of Liam laying on the grass so we leaned Liam against the tree here and he stood pretty well.

Daddy, name badges are yummy.

This is a picture of Liam and I at Case Western Reserve University, for our reunion weekend 2 weekends ago. If you look carefully you can see that Liam is wearing a name badge with his name on it but it said class of '74 on it.

Hello Tree Again

Hello Tree. Again! 

This is a picture of Liam at church on a tree. The Sunday that this picture was taken the church was doing an animal blessing and we took our cat Artemis in for the blessing. Liam dressed up as a tiger (tigger) to show support for Artemis. Well we thought that Liam was a Monkey dressed in a Tiger costume. We thought people would get a kick out of the irony.
