October

Like usual, these pictures are not in any particular order. October went by very quickly! Adam is getting a bit chubbier and you will notice in the pictures that Alex's new thing is to stick his tongue out when he's working. :)

Adam is 6wks old

Alex has his own rake, but prefers to use ours. He likes to rake the leaves away from the pile and spreads them out instead of the other way around. Needless to say he's a big helper!

Oh, and it's a Sunday is these pictures----thus the Colts jersey.

And of course, notice the tongue.

Adam--6 wks

Donna found a table at a garage sale for the boys. It needed some cleaning and Alex was more than willing to help. He loves to scrub and clean!

Also on the list of to-do's at Grandma's, was to dig up the rest of the carrots. Alex used his new shovel (thanks Grandma!) and did a very nice job of taking them to the pile. Of course it was his own pile and not the one Grandma had made, but who cares!

Yumm! pudding pop right before bath time!

Alex has his own baby to take care of and burp.

He takes it very seriously.

Adam---4 wks old

Alex loves to wear his Colts jersey. Especially if Daddy wears it too.

This picture was taken this past Sunday while Andy was at the Colts game in Indy.

Good thing I got this picture...

Right afterward Adam spit up/vomitted all over his outfit (and me)!

Grandpa Rummel gave Alex his first donut a couple weeks ago.

Needless to say, he's a big fan of them!


Pete came for Purdue's homecoming game this past weekend and played with the alumni band.
Alex was facinated with the trumpet and the box that carries it.

The next two photos were taken on Oct 2, 2009.

Adam is 3 weeks old.

Andy and Alex watching the first Colts game of the season!

Alex didn't take his jersey off for bedtime, or when he woke up the next morning!

And he wanted to know why Daddy didnt have his on the next morning. :)

At home...

Well the first few days Alex was a very helpful big brother! He even cleaned out his crib of all his blankets and stuffed animals to make room for Adam. However, about a week after Adam being home, Alex has been....difficult. Needless to say, he's not quite as fond of his new family member as he first was. :) Adam is doing great and is a happy baby.

Adam - a little over a week old

Uncle Phil gave Alex a tool box with some tools in it and has been "fixing" everything!

He also got a tool bench with some power tools (drill and saw). He takes his tools eveywhere and fixes everything! Thankfully it's a good distraction while I take care of Adam. :)

Adam's first bath

Indy Zoo

We made a trip to the Indy Zoo in early August.

This summer has flown by! Alex has been helping us pick veggies from the garden as well as help us can the beans! We made a trip up to the Elkhart county fair and got to see all sorts of animals and some of his cousins.
