All Hallow's Eve

Halloween has been relativley quiet around here. A few trick or treaters have pased our way taking much less candy than this author ate today at work, sadly enough. Cyrus, Mom and I went to dinner tonight before sunset and took a few pictures along the way. Cyrus was decked out in full Haloween regalia, sporting lots of orange and glow-in-the-dark- eyes on his hat. He received lots of looks and returned many himself as there were many excited kids out.

Uncle Matt

Matt came into town today from Charlotte to see his nephew.

We all had lunch together Grandma Florence and took some photos.

Cyrus is feeling a little under the weather dealing with a cold.

A baby with a cold is a heartbreaking site. We're taking good care of him and hope he'll back to his old self (relative term) soon.

It was good to see Matt and we hope he can visit more often.

Raleigh Greenway

The leaves are starting to turn around here...a great time to be in NC. Here are a few picts from our walk yesterday.

Also, we had a good visit with the neurologist today. He said that Cyrus was doing remarkably well, "If you put him in a room with a bunch of neurologists none of them would be able to tell that anything had ever happened." We're left feeling very positive and hopeful by that but also understand that there is a lot for which we need to keep an eye out. We're thankful everything is going well... Enjoy the pictures.

Sunday

Well it's been a busy weekend. I along with the, help of some friends finished taking the shed down, so now the 20 cubic yard construction dumpster can go away and we can begin work on the new shed..or at least prepare for it to start in the Spring.

Cyrus is doing well as you can see by the attached image. We're going to try and go for a little hike this afternoon along the Raleigh Greenway.

Albert

4 months

Cyrus went in for his 4 month checkup and vaccinations this week. He's a whopping 16lbs 4 oz and is 26.5" tall...he's basically a 4 month old in a 6 month old's body. Here are a few pictures of him helping Christine out in her new office. Christine has had the opportunity to do some freelance graphics work allowing her to stay at home with the little guy. He's a happy little boy with a great smile.

this will get you to Cyrus's blog.....add to your favorites and you can come back whenever you like
Cheers

yeah, not a good idea

okay so I googled "Diaper Sniper"....and well...let's leave it at - it's a prison term and it really shouldn't be applied to a blog for a child...my child especially, so we're just going to go with his name right now.....

by the way, is anyone getting notification of these updates...?

what happens if I press this button...

Okay so, in theory, when I publish this post to Cyrus's blog Diaper Sniper, you (whoever you are) should get an email stating that it has happened and then you (whoever you are) should then come and see this blog, so... that being said...tadahhh! here is our blog, fully equipped with a healthy dose of cyber-ignorance and lots of picts of Cyrus...we hope you enjoy ....hope it works first and foremost....maybe soon Cyrus will be typing on this thing every night like Doogie Houser...

Dear Diary,

My parents sure are cool......right...
